US President Donald Trump said in a call Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes it could reach a nuclear deal with Iran, he reported that he now opposes military action and cites Israeli and US officials.
According to the portal, Netanyahu argued that Tehran must see “a reliable military threat.” “Trump didn’t sound like he was convinced of this reasoning,” the source said. The publication read that Trump said he wanted to see what will happen in his next talk on June 15th in Muscat.
The US and Iran are expected to meet again on Sunday for negotiations aimed at reaching a new agreement, starting April 12th, with five rounds of nuclear conferences. The two countries are at odds at the level of uranium enrichment.
Iran’s defense minister, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, has called the recent Israeli threat to Iran “pure nonsense,” claiming the regime’s incapacity to pose a real threat to Iran.
In an interview with Al Mayadeh, Nasirzadeh said Iran has the power to prevent Israel from threatening it. “The malicious actions of the Zionist regime will bring about their own destruction.”
He added that no one who can actually threaten Iran would speak in that way. “The statement from Israeli officials is unfounded.”
Commenting on the same issue, Major General Hossein Salami, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), declared that Iran is ready to face a possible scenario. General Salami emphasized his full preparation to stand up to Iran’s threat, reaffirmed the firm resolve of the Islamic Republic, and emphasized the protection of the sovereignty of its people and the rights of the Iranian people.
