An Israeli source told Iran International that Israel is not obligated to sign any agreement between the U.S. and Iran ending the war, according to a report. The source said Israel retains the right to defend itself, but future actions would require coordination with Washington. President Trump reportedly assured Prime Minister Netanyahu that nuclear, missile, and Hezbollah issues would be addressed in the deal; failure could bring regime-change discussions to the table.
An unnamed Israeli source told Iran International that Israel is not party to the emerging U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and would not be bound by it, in remarks published Wednesday evening. The source said President Trump assured Prime Minister Netanyahu that the final agreement would address Iran's nuclear program, missile development, and support for Hezbollah. Coordination with the U.S. would be required for Israeli military operations going forward, the source added. If negotiations fail and Iran continues its military activity, regime change in Tehran would be on the table for Washington decision-makers.
The remarks come as The Zioneer has reported extensively on the emerging framework. On June 12, Trump said the war with Iran was over and that Tehran agreed never to hold nuclear weapons. A senior U.S. official later confirmed that no country would waive its right to self-defense under the deal.
What remains unverified: the source's precise position within Israel's decision-making apparatus, and whether the reported Trump commitment on dismantling enrichment infrastructure is included in the written MOU or is a verbal assurance.
