A senior Israeli official told Channel 12 that Israel is unaware of any agreement being reached with Iran, directly contradicting President Trump's claim to the New York Post that a deal was 'almost entirely' signed. The denial deepens the confusion during an evening of conflicting signals from Washington, Jerusalem, and Tehran regarding a potential accord.
Just minutes after President Trump told the New York Post that an agreement with Iran had been signed 'almost entirely,' a senior Israeli official denied any such deal exists. Speaking to Channel 12, the official said: 'We are not aware of any agreement being reached.' The statement comes amid a flurry of contradictory signals between Washington, Jerusalem, and Tehran.
As The Zioneer reported at 21:05 and 21:04 Jerusalem, Trump's latest claim had already been met with rejection from an Iranian source, and Israeli officials had expressed surprise at his earlier statements. An article published at 20:46 noted that despite reports of a 'US-Iran agreement reached,' no formal signing had occurred and Trump maintained a naval siege.
The split between Trump and Jerusalem's responses remains unresolved. The Israeli official's denial suggests either a lack of coordination or a fundamental disagreement over the status of negotiations — a dynamic that could affect the security situation for Israel if Washington proceeds without clear Israeli consent.
