Summary
US President Donald Trump surprised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by initiating negotiations with Iran to prevent nuclear weapon development, a shift from Netanyahu’s expectations of military support. The talks, which began in April, aim to reach a deal extending the terms of the 2015 JCPOA, focusing on uranium enrichment limitations and sanctions relief, while Iran insists on its right to enrich. Key challenges include Netanyahu’s demand for zero enrichment and Iran’s need for guarantees against future US withdrawal from any agreement.
