ALBAWABA- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated his firm stance that only a complete dismantling of Iran's nuclear program, akin to the disarmament process in Libya, is acceptable.
He emphasized that such an operation should be conducted under American supervision and implementation.
Netanyahu warned that if negotiations with Iran do not progress, military options remain on the table. He also expressed opposition to Turkey's intentions to establish military bases in Syria, citing security concerns for Israel.
In parallel, U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton stated that any new agreement must prevent Iran from producing nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles and should prohibit uranium enrichment.
Bolton underscored the administration's intent to avoid repeating what it views as the previous administration's unsuccessful attempts to revive the nuclear deal.
On the Iranian side, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed readiness to engage in serious negotiations and announced plans for indirect talks with the U.S. in Oman.
He characterized these discussions as both an opportunity and a test to clarify positions and explore new diplomatic avenues.
Araghchi highlighted Iran's longstanding commitment, reaffirmed in the 2015 nuclear deal, never to seek, develop, or acquire nuclear weapons.
