Barak Ravid (N12) reported early Friday morning, citing a senior American official, that the sensitive negotiations leading to the US-Iran breakthrough have concluded and implementation of the agreement will begin in the coming weeks. The official stated that Israel had objected to the inclusion of Turkey and Qatar on the steering committee of the Peace Council, but acknowledged that together with Egypt they played a helpful role in the process.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the diplomatic track that led to the signing of the Islamabad Agreement, a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, on June 18, 2026. The deal entered a 60-day monitoring period, with subsequent negotiations expected on nuclear restrictions and sanctions relief. The official's comments now point to the next phase: implementation.
The identity of the senior American official was not disclosed, and the exact terms of the implementation phase remain unspecified. The inclusion of Turkey and Qatar on the steering committee, which Israel reportedly opposed, may signal ongoing differences between Jerusalem and Washington over the composition of the oversight mechanism.
