Against the background of the easing of sanctions on Iran published over the weekend, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reiterated Israel’s opposition to a return to the agreement between Iran and the powers, and the great danger inherent in it. At the beginning of the cabinet meeting this morning (Sunday), Bennett said that “our position is known and clear – an agreement in the emerging terms will harm dealing with the nuclear program. Anyone who thinks the agreement will increase stability is wrong. It will temporarily delay enrichment, but we all , disproportionate.
“In recent weeks, precisely during the negotiations, Iran has intensified its aggression and has repeatedly carried out terrorism in the region, as everyone has seen,” said Bennett, referring among other things to Houthi rebel missile attacks on the UAE, including during President Yitzhak’s visit. Herzog. “This is how Tehran-style negotiations are conducted. These days we are closing gaps, and building Israel’s military power for years and even decades ahead. Israel will maintain freedom of action, in any case, with or without an agreement. Every sensible investor understands that investing in the Iranian regime “This is not a wise investment, not in the long run or even in the medium term,” Bennett said.
Last week, Bennett addressed a conference of the Institute for National Security Studies and said that “the campaign to weaken Iran has begun. This campaign is conducted in all dimensions: nuclear, economic, cyber, overt and covert, alone and in cooperation with others. The weaker Tehran is, the weaker its affiliates. The hungrier the octopus’ head, the more shrunken its arms are. Will end without an agreement, “adding that this is the definition of negotiations under fire.
U.S. media reported over the weekend that the U.S. State Department would inform Congress of the removal of sanctions that affected the Iranian civilian nuclear program, and were imposed after the Trump administration withdrew from the nuclear deal. The removal of the sanctions will allow Russian, European and Chinese companies to participate in alleged civilian projects, at nuclear sites in Iran.
In Tehran anyway, they were quick to say that the American benefit raises the concern, does not satisfy them. Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amirbadulian said it was a “good but not enough” decision. He added that Iran “requires guarantees in the political, legal and economic spheres” that the United States intends to renew its nuclear deal.
