Israel is increasingly alarmed that the United States is nearing a nuclear agreement with Iran that Jerusalem fears won’t prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Axar.az, citing Times of Israel, informs that Channel 12 reported Thursday that the deal being negotiated under President Donald Trump is “very, very advanced,” with limited transparency toward Israel despite ongoing communication between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and senior security officials reportedly held an emergency consultation, emphasizing to Trump that a viable deal must completely dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.

While Trump assured Netanyahu of the US commitment to preventing a nuclear Iran, Israeli officials remain uneasy about the direction of talks.

The third round of US-Iran negotiations, mediated by Oman, is scheduled for Saturday, with American officials, including Michael Anton and Witkoff, leading the technical-level discussions.

The IAEA will participate in monitoring efforts if a deal is finalized.

While Trump insists the agreement is progressing well and could avert military confrontation, Israeli officials stress that only a Libya-style disarmament would satisfy their security concerns. Tehran, however, insists uranium enrichment remains non-negotiable.

As satellite imagery shows Iran fortifying its nuclear infrastructure, skepticism is mounting in Israel, even as the international community pushes for a diplomatic solution.
