A senior US administration official expressed confidence that Israel will be comfortable with the emerging US-Iran agreement once it reviews the full text, according to a report. The statement signals ongoing US efforts to bring Israel on board with the diplomatic framework.
A senior US administration official said that once Israel reviews the full text of the emerging US-Iran agreement, it will feel comfortable with the terms. The remark, cited in Israeli media, reflects Washington's effort to reassure Jerusalem about the memorandum of understanding being negotiated. The official did not provide specific details about the agreement's provisions regarding Iran's nuclear program or regional activities.
As The Zioneer reported over the past week, senior US officials have described the emerging deal as imminent, with White House statements indicating that all enriched uranium would be removed from Iran and that the framework covers the entire region, including Lebanon. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have expressed wariness and have not formally endorsed the process. The new statement appears aimed at narrowing that gap.
No timeline for Israel's formal review of the agreement was given, and it remains unclear whether Jerusalem has received a draft text. The official's comments come amid a flurry of US diplomatic signals about a potential signing in the coming days.
