The Biden administration has been trying to reassure Israel over a potential agreement to revive the Iran nuclear deal, Axios reported on Saturday.
The US is currently reviewing Iran’s response to an EU proposal to revive the deal. Reports have said the US has agreed to give “concessions” to Iran, a characterization that the Biden administration has strongly denied.
US officials told Axios that in recent communications with their Israeli counterparts, they have stressed Washington is not making concessions to Tehran and that while an agreement may be close, it is “not imminent.”
“A deal might be closer than it was two weeks ago but the outcome remains uncertain as some gaps remain. In any case, it doesn’t seem to be imminent,” a US official said of what the Biden administration has been telling Israel.
Israeli officials confirmed that there had been talks with the US over the issue but said their concerns hadn’t been eased. “We are not reassured. We are very concerned,” an Israeli official said.
Israeli National Security Advisor Eyal Hulata is headed to Washington and is expected to hold talks on Iran on Tuesday with his American counterpart, Jake Sullivan.
With the possibility of the US and Iran making a deal, Israeli officials are making their opposition known. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Monday that Israel will “work to bring” a potential nuclear deal “down.”
Israeli officials have always hinted at taking military action against Iran if the deal is revived, and Israel has previously carried out covert attacks inside Iran to sabotage negotiations between the US and Iran.
I suppose we should be appreciative that Israel is being so forth coming, how refreshing. Is there anything, other than bombing and sabotage that actually appeals to Israel?…
Only complete control of congress allows an apartheid practicing pissant the size of New Jersey to be able to tell the superpower what it can and cannot do.
Your animus is quite profound.
And here I was trying to hide it.
People find a rationalization for their preheld beliefs., Haters hate for the joy of it.Speaking of “parasites”-love those old #$%#$ collecting social security on the backs of future generations. Big Ponzi scheme. Love those guys who pay no federal taxes complaining about government.
Yeah, I’m a parasite for paying into a system for almost 50 years and collecting on it as compared to gifting an apartheid practicing actual parasite for which we get no return. Unless you count the MIC earnings for the wars fought on behalf of that aforementioned parasitic apartheid practicing shithole.
Go tell it to yourself-today’s oldsters are getting far more out.even adjusted for inflation,than they ever put in-true parasitism.Today’s young are being ripped off.As far as these alleged wars fought on behalf-name them-they exist only in sour lemon land.
You don’t have a clue as to how much I put in or how much I’ve taken out so shut your ass up. And collecting social security retirement is unpatriotic? Jesus Christ, you are an idiot.
Iraq 1, Iraq 2, Syria for starters. The maximum pressure campaign is an act of war also on the parasite’s behalf. Not to mention the bribes paid out to get those Arab countries to play nice with the parasite. Those same countries that would slit the parasite’s collective throat if given half a chance.
If you actually are an atheist,as you claim,stop invoking dieties .Cleanse yourself of your foul mouth, and allow others to speak-the only idiot is you.Fact still remains-social security pays today’s oldsters far more than they put in,today’s youngsters are being scammed by the oldster political lobby. Bad elderly drivers should be taken off the roads.
Iraq 1 was fought for Kuwait’s cheap oil; Iraq 2 to take the Russian oil service contacts in Iraq away.
“social security pays today’s oldsters far more than they put in”
The ROI on Social Security tops out at about half what the same money would have returned if invested in an S&P indexed mutual fund.
It’s not just the youngsters who are getting scammed. The Ponzi scheme screws MOST people at both ends.
My point was that people love to vilify a particular small country, but when it comes to something that they perceive as their own they holler like banshees.
Jesus Christ was a man. I could have used any other man’s name, but Jesus Christ is my favorite. I usually put ‘fucking’ in between the Jesus and Christ but I try not to offend people who believe in fairy tales. And Knapp pretty much answered the part about social security. You think I gave up MY money by choice?
No, Kuwait’s cheap oil, and any other bullshit you can come up with, was secondary to Israel’s wants. And even if Israel’s wants were/are secondary that just changes the degree of sickening. But there is no denying those wars and our treatment of Iran today are a benefit to Israel and Israel was/is a consideration in all of it.
Yeah,right.And I have been told more than once that WW2 was fought for a particular group. The great spider controlling everything.Bull and bile.
The question is why reassuring Israel in the first place…?!
