Israel signals readiness to escalate Iran confrontation – By News Agencies (Al Jazeera) / Nov 23 2021
PM Bennett says Iran is at ‘the most advanced stage of its nuclear programme’ while condemning efforts to revive the nuclear deal.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has signalled a readiness to step up Israel’s confrontation with Iran, reiterating on Tuesday, his country would not be bound by any new Iranian nuclear deal with world powers.
Indirect negotiations will begin on November 29 on reviving the 2015 accord, which former United States President Donald Trump withdrew from, deeming it insufficient to shut down projects with bomb-making potential – a view shared by the Israelis.
Iran, which denies seeking nuclear arms, has since the US walkout breached the deal with expanded uranium enrichment.
Bennett, who took power in June, described Iran in a speech as being at “the most advanced stage of its nuclear programme”.
