Washington Post; Israeli pressure on Biden’s government to demand more in the Vienna talks

According to Fars News Agency International Group, “Washington Post” in a report on the Zionist regime’s request to the Biden government to take a more aggressive approach to Iran’s nuclear program, while trying to avoid confrontation with the White House, which according to the American newspaper sometimes in Netanyahu’s presidency was coming to an end, he announced.

According to the Washington Post, the regime’s six-month coalition government led by Naftali Bennett has launched a campaign of speeches and public statements that highlight Israel’s fear that the ongoing talks in Vienna will revive the 2015 agreement between Iran and world powers.

According to the report, however, unlike Netanyahu, who barred his ministers from negotiating with the US government over talks on Iran’s nuclear program, the regime’s current cabinet is actively involved, including representatives of War Minister Benny Gantz and Mossad chief David Barnia. He was sent to Washington, where he himself spoke directly with Biden about Iran.

According to the report, Bennett claimed that an acceptable agreement would be “longer and stronger” and would include the elimination of some of Iran’s current nuclear capabilities.

According to the Washington Post, a Zionist official involved in discussing Iran with the United States and other countries said that Israel was asking the negotiators to put a “reasonable agreement” on the table. Israel also wants any agreement to go beyond nuclear concerns and address Iran’s ballistic missile capability and extensive activities in the region, such as “supporting proxy groups.”

The report goes on to say, however, that Israeli officials acknowledge that their approach has not changed Biden’s willingness to reinstate the previous agreement, which US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from, or to create something similar. According to several people familiar with the talks, recent meetings have revealed a wide-ranging rift between the regime and the US government.

According to the report, Bennett made a failed call on December 10 to suspend talks in a tense call with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. According to the US State Department, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid earlier this month called on Blinken in Washington to lift the lifting of sanctions – Tehran’s main demand.

According to the report, officials in the three ministries of the regime are particularly concerned that an interim agreement could be reached to buy time for a permanent agreement; Such an interim agreement could force Tehran to limit its uranium processing in exchange for part of the lifting of sanctions. According to the regime’s foreign ministry, Lapid claimed in an interview with Blinken that “the money that the Iranians receive will reach us in the form of terrorism and missiles.”

“While Israeli officials have not yet succeeded in influencing the US government, they say they believe their concerns are being heard in Washington better than Netanyahu’s demands during the Obama administration.”

The Washington Post claims that as the atmosphere in Vienna continues to escalate, the growing US and European frustration with Iran’s uncompromising stance in the talks has given some Zionists hope that further revival of the nuclear deal will be avoided.

According to the report, a senior Zionist official familiar with the talks claimed: “Our views are closer than ever to this government, in part because the Iranians are proving to us that we are right.”

According to the Washington Post, a senior US military official said of Gantz’s meeting with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that US officials in recent meetings had called for more joint military cooperation with Israel focusing on Iran’s behavior in the region and more intelligence on Iran’s nuclear assets. They agreed.

Elsewhere in the Washington Post report, citing the regime’s recent hollow threats against Iran, critics said Israel’s ability to carry out long-range strikes needed to cripple Iran’s nuclear facilities, which have spread across the country and often to the ground. Questioned and military analysts also say that Israel’s readiness for such an attack has been diminished due to political differences over the budget.

The United States has also refused to speed up the delivery of recently ordered Israeli refueling tankers to facilitate operations, according to Israeli media outlet Yedioth Ahronoth, prompting some White House critics to try to Closing the TV sets to accuse.

Since the start of the recent round of talks in Vienna under the new Iranian government, Israeli officials have made every effort to obstruct the talks and to create an atmosphere against Iran’s nuclear program. The Zionist regime and Washington have also put cooperation against Iran on the agenda in recent months. For example, Reuters reported a few months ago that Israel’s new cabinet plans to send a team of sanctions experts to Washington to discuss ways to better implement the Comprehensive Joint Action Plan and the sanctions that should be maintained against Iran.

The Western media clarified that this strategy is very different from the policy of former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who did not intend to interact with the administration of Joe Biden regarding the return of the United States to the UN Security Council.

In addition, the Axios website reported on July 23, quoting Israeli officials, that Tel Aviv intended to use diplomacy to influence the US government’s approach to Iran’s nuclear program. Although Naftali Bennett and his cabinet, like Netanyahu, oppose a nuclear deal with Iran, Axius writes that engagement with the United States on the issue is on the agenda.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made many attempts to overthrow Burjam when he was in power, including urging former US President Donald Trump to step down. He has repeatedly stressed that Trump, with his encouragement, left the UN Security Council and pursued a policy of “maximum pressure” against Iran. Trump and Netanyahu hoped that maximum pressure could persuade Iran to come to the negotiating table to discuss a new agreement instead of Borjam. This policy, however, failed.

In recent days, a number of former Zionist officials have admitted that Netanyahu’s decision to encourage Donald Trump to leave the UN Security Council and his other policies against Iran were wrong.

The New York Times wrote in an article by Thomas Friedman that Israeli War Minister Moshe Ya’alon, who was strongly opposed to the deal at the time of the signing, recently told a conference that Trump’s decision to pull out of the deal was a “big mistake.” Which was done with the encouragement of Netanyahu.

Moshe Ya’alon had told the conference that leaving Borjam was “the worst decision in ten years” regarding Iran. After him, Gaddy Eisenhower, a senior Zionist commander who was a supporter of the withdrawal from the Security Council, said that Trump’s move was to Israel’s detriment because Iran was able to expand its nuclear program rapidly.
