Netanyahu Demands Complete Dismantling of Iran's Nuclear Structure for Any Potential US Deal

Tel Aviv. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that if a potential nuclear deal is reached between the United States and Iran, Iran's entire nuclear structure must be dismantled. Speaking at a conference of American Jewish organizations on Sunday, he mentioned that his main conditions were laid out during his recent meeting with US President Donald Trump.

According to Netanyahu, the first condition is that all enriched uranium held by Iran must be sent out of the country. His second point emphasized that the equipment and infrastructure for uranium enrichment must be completely removed so that Iran has no capacity to enrich uranium.

As a third condition, he stated that a solution must be found for the ballistic missile program. Furthermore, he demanded strict and effective international inspection of Iran's nuclear program.

Netanyahu's statement came as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was heading to Switzerland for the second round of nuclear talks between the US and Iran. Both countries resumed talks in Oman on February 6. Previously, after talks failed, Israel launched airstrikes on Iran last year, which sparked a 12-day conflict.

Although Trump has indicated that no final agreement has been reached regarding Iran so far, he has signaled a desire to continue negotiations. According to the American media outlet Axios, while both leaders agreed on the goal of bringing Iran to a state where it has no nuclear weapons capability, differences in approach have emerged.

Iran, on the other hand, has reiterated that it does not intend to build nuclear weapons and has stated it is ready to discuss limiting its nuclear program if sanctions are lifted. However, it has refused to link its missile program to the deal. Regional tensions are escalating as diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran are accompanied by high military pressure.
