Prime Minister Netanyahu said that President Trump ” is determined to exhaust the possibilities of achieving a deal which he believes can be achieved… I will not hide from you that I express my skepticism of any deal with Iran, because, frankly, Iran is reliable on one thing, they lie and they cheat. But I said that if a deal is to be reached, it should have several components that we believe are important”. Elaborating on the terms, Netanyahu posited: “The first is that all enriched material has to leave Iran. The second is that there shall be no enrichment capability, not stopping the enrichment process, but dismantle the equipment and the infrastructure that allows you to enrich in the first place. And the third is to deal also with the questions of ballistic missiles. There’s an MTCR limitation of 300km, and Iran is supposed to adhere to it. Of course, it doesn’t… And the fourth is, stop the, dismantle the axis of the terror that Iran has built”. “There has to be real inspections, substantive inspections, no lead time inspections, but effective inspections for all of the above”, he added.
