The Israeli Prime Minister’s request comes after the United States resumed negotiations with the Iranian regime in Oman over its nuclear program
The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, will meet next Wednesday (11) in Washington with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to address the situation in which the negotiations with Iran.
“The Prime Minister believes that any negotiations must include limiting ballistic missiles and end of support for the Iranian axis“, said a statement released by the Israeli prime minister’s office.
Netanyahu’s words come after, last Friday (6), the United States resumed with the Iranian regime in Oman negotiations on its nuclear program, amid threats from Trump to intervene militarily in the Persian country.
The Israeli president, this same week, asked the White House special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, that an agreement with Iran must include the end of the nuclear program ea limitation of its ballistic missiles and its support for Yemen’s regional Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi groups.
Although the United States and Iran described Friday’s talks as “good”, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated today that their red lines are zero enrichment or limiting its missile program.
“It is a purely defensive issue for us and is non-negotiable, neither now nor in the future,” he said.
The only thing Iran is willing to negotiate is the level of enrichment, the Iranian minister said.
These negotiations take place in one of the most delicate periods of the Islamic Republic, after experiencing in January the most violent protests since its foundation in 1979, in the midst of a serious economic crisis, strong public discontent, its worst drought in decades and electricity and gas shortages.
