Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said today, Thursday, that Israel does not exclude the diplomatic path to prevent Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon, adding that there are indications of the possibility of indirect talks between Tehran and the United States.
“We are not talking to the Iranians as you know, but they clearly indicated their willingness to conduct indirect negotiations with the United States, and I will not be surprised if these negotiations start,” he added.
Iran denies its endeavor to possess nuclear weapons.
To that, Saar stressed that Israel’s common goal with France is to prevent Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon.
“The goal of preventing Iran from producing a nuclear weapon is a common goal for France and Israel,” Saar said during a visit to France on Thursday.
Amid the American threats to Tehran, Israeli politicians and military personnel revealed on Wednesday that the United States intends to launch strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran in the coming weeks.
A high -ranking source in the Israeli government told the British newspaper “Daily Mail”: “This should have been done long ago. It is time to put an end to it.”
Commenting on the statements of US President Donald Trump, who called on the Iranian authorities to resume negotiations on its nuclear program: “These are not crazy demands. This is very important for stability in Israel and the world.”
Last Sunday, Trump renewed his threat to bombing Iran if he did not accept his offer to hold talks on the nuclear, which was mentioned in a letter sent to the Iranian leadership in early March, taking it two months to make a decision.
While the Iranian guide, Ali Khamenei, responded on Monday, considering that Washington will receive a “strong slap” if it is used to Blah, as he put it.
The Iranian authorities also sent a message to the Security Council at the United Nations, in which these “reckless threats that pose a flagrant violation of international law,” according to what they described.
It is noteworthy that Iran had responded last week to Trump’s message, refusing to negotiate between the two countries directly.
However, she did not close the door of talks permanently, explaining that she prefers negotiating its nuclear program indirectly, that is, through a third country.
