CALL FROM ISRAEL TO THE USA
According to a written statement from the Israeli government, Lapid called out to his ally, the United States, for the agreement negotiated by international actors regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

Demanding the US administration not to “sign the agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, even at the last minute,” Lapid said, “This agreement will put a quarter trillion dollars in the pockets of the Iranian terrorist administration and its extensions in the region. At the same time, Iran will develop, install and install a centrifuge in just two years. will allow it to run.” used the phrases.
Lapid stated that over the past year, “even when the deal is very close”, they have convinced their counterparts in the White House “not to bow down” to Iran’s demands, and they hope the situation will continue in this way.
“WE WILL ACTIVATE ANY VEHICLE”
Emphasizing that Israel is not a party to this agreement, Lapid noted that his country is not subject to any restrictions arising from the agreement and that “they will use all means to prevent Iran’s nuclear program”.
Considering Iran’s nuclear program among the highest national security threats, Israel opposes the agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program from the very beginning, as it did in 2015.
NUCLEAR AGREEMENT AND NEGOTIATION PROCESS WITH IRAN
In 2015, an agreement was signed between Iran and the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), the USA, Russia, China, the UK and France, and Germany (5+1), in which Tehran’s nuclear activities were regulated and controlled in return for the lifting of sanctions.
When Washington unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in 2018 under former President Donald Trump and began reimposing sanctions on Iran, Tehran gradually stopped its commitments to the agreement and took a series of steps, including high-level enrichment of uranium.
Negotiations held in Vienna under the coordination of the European Union (EU) since April 2021 to ensure the re-implementation of the agreement and the return of the USA to the agreement ended on 8 August, while the parties are ready to reach a final agreement after the draft agreement text presented by the EU, which is the coordinator of the negotiations. It showed much more positive signs than previous months.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed its views on the draft agreement presented by the EU and accepted as the final roadmap in nuclear negotiations to the EU on 15 August and announced that they were waiting for the response of the USA in response to their response to the draft text.
Describing Iran’s response as “reasonable”, EU High Representative for Foreign Relations and Security Policy Josep Borrell said in a statement on the subject today that a nuclear deal with Iran could be reached this weekend if a positive response is received from the United States.
