The United States is working to normalize the emerging nuclear deal with Iran, according to an Israeli official familiar with the matter. Israel's conditions for accepting the framework are clear: removal of all enriched uranium, addressing Iran's ballistic missile program, and severing the link between Tehran and Hezbollah — or the diplomatic achievements will quickly dissipate.
A message from Israeli channels early Friday morning outlined the U.S. effort to normalize the emerging nuclear framework with Iran, as the deal moves closer to signing.
According to the source, Washington is working to frame the 'Islamabad Agreement' as a diplomatic achievement, but Israel has drawn three red lines: the complete removal of enriched uranium (not just dilution), addressing Iran's missile program, and severing the operational and financial ties between Tehran and Hezbollah. The message warns that without these conditions, any 'achievements' will vanish.
As The Zioneer has reported, recent days have seen a flurry of U.S. administration statements on the deal — a senior official told Israel Hayom the deal's terms include enriched uranium destruction, the release of frozen assets after compliance, and a ban on Iran funding terror. The White House has estimated an 85% chance of signing in the coming days.
Israel's concerns, previously tracked, center on whether the U.S. might accept diluted enriched uranium remaining on Iranian soil rather than physical removal, creating what Jerusalem views as a security gap.
