Gantz calls for many improvements at Iran nuclear deal
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, “A lot of improvements must be made to the crystallized nuclear agreement with Iran in light of the knowledge and ability that Tehran has developed to possess nuclear weapons.”
He said during a dialogue with heads of American research institutes, following talks he held in Washington with National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan, that the time period during which restrictions are imposed on its nuclear project should be extended to prevent it from rushing to produce a nuclear bomb after 2031, as it will be able by this the date is to produce and operate thousands of advanced centrifuges, according to the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (Makan).
Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid invited opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu to a briefing this week in the wake of the possible signing of the nuclear agreement with Iran.
It is also expected that Lapid will speak by phone in the coming days with US President Joe Biden to present to him Israel’s reservations about the agreement.
The (Axios) website revealed, quoting an Israeli official, that the Americans assured Defense Minister Benny Gantz that they were not in a hurry to sign the nuclear agreement.
In parallel, the Iranian newspaper (Kayhan), which is close to the leadership, published an article in which it called for postponing the signing of the possible agreement by two months, adding that during this period the situation will change in many areas.
