01 · THE DISPATCH

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed skepticism about the Iran nuclear negotiations in an interview with the U.S. conservative network Newsmax on Tuesday evening. Netanyahu said Iran cannot be trusted and that he is unsure whether a deal will be reached, but reiterated that both he and President Trump have stated that Iran will not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. The remarks come hours after Netanyahu earlier Tuesday expressed doubt that Iran's nuclear program can be halted via negotiations, as The Zioneer reported. The interview adds to a series of statements by Netanyahu and Trump on the emerging Iran deal, with both leaders asserting that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons with or without an agreement.
