Israel claims that the military option in Iran is « inevitable » if nuclear discussions are exterior – Liberation
Between Iran and Israel, the cloth keeps burning. The Israeli Prime Minister said on Tuesday April 8 that the military option against Iran was « inevitable » In the event of delay on discussions on its nuclear program. This announcement comes the day after Donald Trump’s surprise announcement concerning a meeting « At very high level » On the Iranian nuclear crisis and a resumption of dialogue, stalled for more than seven years.
In a video published on his social networks, Benyamin Netanyahu says he is first agree with the American president « The fact that Iran should not have nuclear weapons ». « This can be done by an agreement, but only (like): we enter, we explode the installations, we dismantle all the equipment, under American supervision with American implementation, that would be good »he continues by exposing his vision of diplomacy. But then he evokes a « Second option »in the case where the Iranians « Get out the discussions » : a « Inevitable military option ».
For his part, the head of Iranian diplomacy estimated on Tuesday that an agreement could be reached with the United States on the nuclear file if Washington was good will, before talks scheduled for Oman on Saturday. The Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghthchi, will participate in these talks with « Main objective », He said, to obtain the lifting of American sanctions, restored in 2018 by Donald Trump and who strangle the Iranian economy. « These negotiations will be carried out indirectly and we will not accept any other form of negotiation », he continued.
« To move forward today, we must first agree that there can be no military option, and even less military solution », also announced Abbas Araghthchi in a rare platform published this Tuesday in the Washington Post.
Western countries, the United States in mind, have been suspecting Tehran for decades to want to have nuclear weapons. Iran rejects these allegations and affirms that its activities in nuclear are limited to civil purposes. In March, Donald Trump had sent a letter to Iran calling for nuclear negotiations, with a view to replacing the previous international agreement, which has become a deciduous since Washington retired in 2018. But he had also threatened to bomb the country in the event of diplomacy failure and taken additional sanctions against the Iranian petroleum sector.
