A very senior Israeli official tells journalist Amit Segal (N12) that the emerging US-Iran agreement is, in his words, "garbage." The blunt comment, reported by Segal at 20:51 Jerusalem, signals deep skepticism within the Israeli security establishment about the deal the US says is near completion, despite Washington's confidence that Israel will be comfortable once it sees the full text.
A very senior Israeli official described the emerging US-Iran agreement as "garbage" in a conversation with N12 journalist Amit Segal, according to a report at 20:51 Jerusalem. The official's identity was not disclosed, but the phrasing and channel indicate a figure with direct insight into the negotiations.
The remark stands in stark contrast to the public line from Washington. Over the past week, senior US officials have expressed confidence that the deal — reportedly a 60-day memorandum of understanding — is near completion, and that Israel will be comfortable once it reviews the full text. President Trump separately stated he was told that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's supreme leader, had agreed to the arrangement.
As The Zioneer reported in recent days, the US has been in direct dialogue with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Trump spoke with him on June 11. The PMO said Trump committed that the final agreement would include the removal of enriched uranium, dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and an end to Iran's backing of regional proxies. The senior Israeli figure's "garbage" assessment suggests that, behind closed doors, Israel's security establishment views the emerging terms as insufficient. No details of what specifically the official objects to have been disclosed.
