The US slammed Iran’s latest response in the negotiations
Originally published on AntiWar
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said Sunday that Israel was applying pressure on the US over the Iran nuclear deal effectively while ensuring that relations with Washington are not damaged.
The Israeli leader said the pressure was “working” and that the US was taking Israel’s concerns into account. “The reservations that we have presented to the American administration have been taken into account. We have also spoken with our other partners. Demands have been made of the Iranians,” he said.
Israel is strongly against a revival of the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, and has been pushing the US to take a harder stance and not agree to any of Iran’s conditions to revive the deal. The pressure does appear to be working as the US slammed Iran’s latest response in the ongoing EU-mediated negotiations as “not encouraging” and “moving backwards.”
Lapid on Sunday took a shot at former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was the Israeli leader in 2015 while the Obama administration was negotiating the JCPOA. Netanyahu is a contender in the upcoming Israeli election, which will be held on November 1, and the JCPOA has become a major issue for the election season.
“For those who tell us that we are not shouting enough, or are not blunt enough, I will remind you what really happened in the past: In 2015, when Israel insisted on an unnecessary confrontation with the [Obama] administration, it was a complete failure,” he said.
Israel’s pressure on the US will continue as David Barnea, the head of the Mossad spy agency, is traveling to Washington on Monday. Barnea is expected to meet with CIA Director William Burns and other senior US officials.
Israel has a history of launching covert attacks inside Iran and, with tensions high in the region, Tehran on Saturday boosted the readiness of its air defense systems and equipped many of its cities with civil defense systems.
If the deal doesn’t work, Iran will get more aggressive towards attacks
i love Iran aggressive Iran regime is world best hero i hope they attack terrorist Israel :D ;)
The Zionist criminals are scared shitless and the world no longer believes a word that comes from their evil lies. Iran is now too strong and its influence in the region is growing and it really does not need a deal as it is a defacto nuclear power. Also Iran and Russia are getting closer on most issues, so the only patsies the Zionist child killers have are the banana republic Americunts, who themselves are headed for the shitter. The Zionist land squatters are facing growing resistance in Occupied Palestine and know that their time is up.
We must stop talking and bomb the terroriranians back to Stone Age. We have the capability to blow them hard and they know it. I am ready to enlist and so are my brothers from Tel Aviv to all greater Israel. The stupid leaders take their time but we need to bomb them immediately and destroy them so they learn not to provoke us, or else we blow 💥
Zionism is a threat to al humanity.
Iran and Russia to co-op in shipbuilding, aviation & automobile industries
Iran to receive 24 SU 35S in a few months, 200 Iranian pilots and technicians have completed training in Russia.
If anyone knows how to “blow them hard” it’s you and your brothers from Tel Aviv. Keep up the great work you intellectual powerhouse.
It’s just pathetic how the welfare funded, banana republic of Israel that can only exists because of tax payers handouts dictates foreign policy and keeps wagging the dog.
The nuclear deal shouldn’t happen, we are past that now. Iran doesn’t need it post 24th Feb 2022
lgbt Amerika is too stupid : pressured by trannies–amerikans are devoid of morality—they lie like 7 year girls
Iran doesn’t need a nuclear deal with her declared enemies. Iran has it’s own intrinsic right to develop and use nuclear technologies to provide cheap energy to its people and nuke the fucking Zionist psycopaths out of Palestine in response to Zionist aggression against Iran. Simple as that. Two fingers to the Zionists with a nuclear bomb trigger held in the other two ought to solve their problems.
Not using nukes on Palestine !!! The Palestinians still need there country. Flatten tel aviv, haifa ben gurion all the big cyties. Send in special forces to exterminate the hardlineres politicians. Destroy all the energy, water systems, Palestinians are hardned but zionists will not hold 1 week.
just give them a 100 nukes russia
Is it good for the juice? That is the only question a head of tax cattle down on Rancho Goyim ever needs to ruminate.
One day apartheid, occupied Palestine will be cleansed of the filthy khaZar abomination.
denmarkistan USA colony like tratzistan/canuckia…no Russian gas NS…new German BMV—korean designed cart wooden, donkey optional
Why the many downvotes for this article? I thought the cowards vowed to never negotiate with the U.S after it killed their sneaky hero?
Yea seriously, and they still hope for “ironclad guarantees” from the US LOL that government is WEIRD
Israels many attacks and its belligerence are inviting war upon itself. King David was not a warmonger but a defender of his nation.
Israel clearly is not concerned whether Iran has nuclear power or weapons, if they did they would want a deal and end santions. They do not mind having a deal that Iran does not have nuclear weapons BUT they wont support lifting sanctions for it. Hence their duplicity and deception is exposed.
Equal voting rights for all palestinians, from the river to the sea. End Jewish supremacist apartheid.
I think Israel plans on ruling the world and Iran is in the way. I dont see where it makes sense to be so against a partnership with Iran. They sold them weapons for a record number of years. Project Flower. Iran Iraq war. Iran won a case on a pipeline they were building many years ago. Hmm. I dont get it and its bugging me! Something. nuthinfreedb@gmail.com. In case i dont read back on this and you want to say anything. And i’m not even close to being a terrorist so dont bother if your like FBI who sets up the biggest part of terrorists in USA to become just that.
