Nuclear Deal

Liberman also called for regime change efforts, establishing a new IDF missile corps, argued the Mossad should focus on toppling Iran's regime, and advocated a tougher stance toward Hezbollah.

Questions remain over a US-Iran preliminary deal as Tehran favors a prolonged diplomatic process that adds complexity and delay.

IDF and Mossad officials largely view the emerging Iran nuclear deal as insufficient, warning it leaves missiles and proxy threats unaddressed.

There are five key aspects to Trump's deal that are critical for Israel on Iran and Hezbollah.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to address the US-Iran deal or the issue of Lebanon, which, according to Sharif, is included in the deal.

European officials reaffirmed the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the "resumption of maritime traffic," to be done "urgently" and "unconditionally," without any toll restrictions.

"What I would say the president has been most clear about is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon - never, full stop," Hegseth said.

Former Netanyahu National Security Advisor Jacob Nagel warns Trump that a weak Iran deal could rescue Tehran’s regime and be remembered as worse than Obama’s.

The final draft of the deal also calls for the US to waive all oil sanctions on Iran and lift its blockade on Iranian ports, and for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

It is not enough for Israeli officials to say that Trump understands Israel’s position. This is not a great deal. It is a dangerous one.
