U.S.-Iran Nuclear Deal Near, Israel Doubts Validity

A potential U.S.-Iran nuclear deal appears imminent, according to Haaretz, but Israel expresses deep skepticism, fearing Iran's deception and unresolved nuclear issues. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu raised concerns during a call with Trump about U.S. handling of Iran's nuclear file. The deal remains fragile amid conflicting assessments.

Haaretz reports that a U.S.-Iran nuclear agreement may be hours away, signaling a potential breakthrough in diplomatic negotiations. However, Israel, through its intelligence and political channels, believes Iran is misleading the U.S. and that a comprehensive deal is unlikely. Anadolu highlights Israel's fears that any agreement would be limited due to unresolved nuclear issues, including Iran's enrichment capabilities and regional security concerns. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed direct concerns to Trump about the U.S. approach to Iran's nuclear program during a phone call, underscoring Israel's distrust of the U.S. strategy. The divergence between Haaretz and Anadolu reflects the broader geopolitical tension: one outlet emphasizes the proximity of a deal, while the other underscores Israel's deep skepticism and the unresolved risks.
