Amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presents his clear and stringent conditions for any potential agreement with Iran. At a conference, he stated, "I won't hide my doubt about any agreement with Iran, as the truth is, Iran can be trusted in only one thing - they lie and deceive."

PM Netanyahu emphasized that the proposed deal must include key elements essential not only for Israel's security but also for that of the USA and the world. His first condition was, "All enriched nuclear material must be removed from Iran." On his second condition, he declared, "The capability for enrichment must be completely dismantled, not just halted, but the equipment and infrastructure enabling it must be eradicated."

Netanyahu brought up the ballistic missile program as the third condition. He noted, "Under MTCR, there's a 300-kilometer limit which Iran should adhere to, but it doesn't comply." He also insisted that the support of regional ally groups should be included as part of the agreement.

Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, "The fourth point is to dismantle the network of terror created by Iran. It is weakened but still existent and attempting to reestablish itself."

Netanyahu also highlighted the critical importance of an inspection regime. He remarked, "The final point is that there should be real and effective inspections—not pre-informed ones, but robust and reliable checks."

Netanyahu’s statement comes at a time of ongoing diplomatic efforts in the region, with the United States and other powers exploring potential agreement options with Iran. His remarks clearly signal that Israel is not inclined to show leniency on security matters and would only accept an agreement with strict conditions.
