Israel reiterates to demand that Iran’s nuclear program be dismantled after Tehran and Washington report a third positive round.
Iran has accused Israel or “blatantly” trying to scarce negotiations as conversations with the United States about Tehran’s nuclear program to progress.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “dictating what [US] President [Donald] Trump can and cannot do in his diplomacy with Iran. ”
In response to a third round of US negotiations. I would see that they seemed to obtain impulse in Oman during the weekend, Netanyahu reiterated the demands that Iran’s nuclear program will be completely dismantled.
Israel’s fantasy that can dictate what Iran may or may not do is so separate from reality that it barely deserves an answer.
However, the surprising thing is how Brasly Netanyahu is now dictating what President Trump can and cannot do in his diplomacy with Iran …

Araghchi had previously indicated the “cautious” optimism after the conversations mediated by Omaní on Saturday with the envoy of Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
The negotiations aim to ensure that Iran do not use their nuclear program to develop weapons. In return, Tehran would recite the relief of international sanctions.

Trump, who has threatened military action against Iran several times, said in an interview published on Friday that he thought an agreement would occur. He added that while Netanyahu could “enter a war,” the United States “was not dragged.”
However, he warned that the United States could “enter very voluntarily if we cannot get a deal.”
“If we don’t make a deal, I’ll lead the pack,” he said.
