A senior Israeli political official, cited without name, assessed the emerging US-Iran agreement as a 'great achievement for Israel,' while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called it a 'first and difficult step,' according to a single source on Friday evening. Rubio's comment echoes his earlier public welcome of the nuclear agreement (as The Zioneer reported on Friday at 20:37), and adds an explicitly cautious note. The Israeli official's upbeat framing contrasts with some domestic political reactions reported by Israeli media on June 14, which described the deal as a 'total victory for the ayatollahs.' The source did not specify which stage of the negotiations prompted these remarks, and no further details on the official's identity or the deal's latest terms were provided.
