Primary source Internal intake · 3 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 20:01

TL;DR

Prime Minister Netanyahu said he doubts that the Islamic Republic's nuclear program can be stopped through negotiations, questioning the effectiveness of the diplomatic track, according to his remarks.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed doubt Tuesday evening that negotiations can halt Iran's nuclear program, saying "I doubt that the Islamic Republic's nuclear program can be stopped through negotiations." The statement, which echoes his longstanding skepticism of the diplomatic track, comes amid ongoing talks between the US and Iran. The Zioneer has previously reported on Netanyahu's warnings against the sale of F-35s to Turkey and concerns that the emerging deal may only dilute enriched uranium rather than remove it from Iranian soil. The prime minister's latest remarks reinforce his position that military pressure or a more robust agreement is necessary to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability.
