Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump reportedly engaged in a 'difficult' call recently as they discussed next steps in the ongoing situation with Iran.

According to an Axios report, Trump told the Israeli PM over the call that a 'letter of intent' was in the works and would be signed by both the US and Iran, followed by a 30-day period to work out specifics.

However, the report further quoted sources as saying that the Tuesday call was 'difficult' and left Netanyahu worried.

A US source familiar with the contents of the telephonic exchange said 'Bibi's hair was on fire after the call', while also saying that the two leaders were in disagreement on aspects of the next steps.

The Israeli PM is reportedly concerned and worried as the ongoing ceasefire lays in limbo, with the US and Iran continuously exchanging threats.

Trump recently said: 'It's right on the borderline, believe me. If we don't get the right answers, it goes very quickly. We're all ready to go. We have to get the right answers -- it would have to be a complete 100% good answers.'
