Three senior Israeli officials told Reuters that Donald Trump appears determined to reach an agreement with Tehran. In their opinion, the US president consistently strives to end the conflict in the Middle East through dialogue with the Iranian authorities.
However, the same sources indicate that the chances of Iran accepting American conditions are slim. Israeli officials emphasize that Tehran is unlikely to agree to the new arrangements proposed by Washington.
Conflicting reports on peace negotiations. Iran denies Trump's words
The US president wrote on Truth Social on Monday that the United States and Iran were in talks. Trump described these contacts as “very good and productive,” pointing to their goal — “a complete and final end to hostilities in the Middle East.”
Iranian authorities denied these reports. Tehran has denied that any negotiations with the US have taken place recently.
This is what Trump demands from Iran
According to Reuters, US demands in the new negotiations are likely to include restrictions on Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu commented on Trump's strategy on Monday. The head of the Israeli government said that the US president believes in the possibility of “using the powerful achievements of the IDF [Izraelskich Sił Zbrojnych] and the American military to pursue war objectives in an agreement that will safeguard our vital interests.”
