US President Donald Trump, stating that a nuclear deal with Iran is close, advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. According to Trump, the negotiations are going well, and an agreement could be reached in the coming weeks.
Trump's statement came against the backdrop of Iran's offers to temporarily halt uranium enrichment and the release of frozen funds in exchange for the US recognizing its nuclear rights. Iran refuses to completely stop enriching uranium or dismantle its nuclear infrastructure in the negotiations.
The US delegation led by Trump's special representative Steve Whitcoff is negotiating with Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated in the negotiations that he is ready to allow US inspectors access to nuclear sites.
Israeli officials have emphasized that Trump's deal with Iran could threaten their security, warning that they might take independent military actions if Iran does not stop enriching uranium.
Trump's pursuit of a new agreement with Iran, unlike his decision in 2018 to withdraw from the nuclear deal made during Obama's tenure, reflects his effort to return to diplomatic solutions.
