Iran: Netanyahu Dismisses Any Prospects for a Diplomatic Agreement with Tehran

10:14

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed deep skepticism on Tuesday evening regarding any negotiations with Iranian leaders. Reflecting on his discussions with Donald Trump, he stated that he believes no diplomatic compromise can be reached with Tehran.

The tone remains particularly harsh between Israel and Iran. During an event held on Tuesday evening, Benjamin Netanyahu declared that he sees no possibility of achieving a diplomatic agreement with the leaders of the Islamic Republic.

The Israeli government head, who has long maintained a very firm stance towards Tehran, used particularly harsh terms to describe Iranian officials. He notably stated that he doubts any agreement could be found with "these savages," before asserting that "no agreement can be reached."

Discussions with Donald Trump

Benjamin Netanyahu made these statements while reflecting on a recent meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. According to his account, the two leaders discussed negotiations concerning the Iranian issue.

The Israeli Prime Minister also praised the new campaign of economic pressure being led by Washington against Tehran. This approach is part of a strategy aimed at increasing pressure on Iranian authorities rather than prioritizing, at this stage, a resolution based solely on negotiation.

Long-standing Distrust of Tehran

The position expressed by Benjamin Netanyahu does not represent a change in direction. The Israeli Prime Minister has regularly shown himself to be very cautious about the possibility of reaching a lasting agreement with the Islamic Republic.

For Israel, the Iranian issue remains closely linked to regional security concerns. Relations between the two countries are marked by deep confrontation, while international discussions about Iran remain at the heart of Washington and its partners' concerns.

Washington at the Center of Next Steps

Netanyahu's comments come as Donald Trump plays a decisive role in shaping U.S. policy towards Iran. The Israeli Prime Minister's support for the American economic pressure strategy reflects a convergence on the need to maintain strong pressure on Tehran.

It remains to be seen whether this strategy will pave the way for new negotiations or, on the contrary, further escalate tensions. For Benjamin Netanyahu, the conclusion seems unequivocal for now: he does not believe in the possibility of an agreement with Iranian leaders.
