Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has outlined strict conditions he believes must be included in any prospective diplomatic agreement between the United States and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Netanyahu said in public remarks that any deal must go beyond simply halting uranium enrichment and instead require the complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure including removing all enriched material from the country and eliminating its capacity to enrich uranium.
He also emphasized the need for robust, substantive inspections to ensure compliance and has linked these demands to broader concerns over Iran’s ballistic missile development and regional activities.
Speaking at the annual Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Netanyahu said he conveyed these positions to U.S. President Donald Trump and maintains skepticism toward negotiations that do not fully address Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
These comments come as U.S. and Iranian officials prepare for renewed rounds of indirect nuclear talks in Geneva, where Tehran continues to insist its uranium enrichment is for peaceful purposes and seeks sanctions relief.
Washington and its allies have pushed for stricter limits or dismantling of enrichment-related infrastructure as part of any final agreement.
Netanyahu’s hardline stance reflects Israel’s long-standing position that a partial freeze on enrichment is insufficient and that Iran must not retain the capacity to produce weapons-grade material.
