Report: Israel told US it won’t attack Iranian nuclear sites unless talks fail
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael has assured the White House that it won’t launch an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities unless US President Donald Trump signals that the ongoing negotiations with Tehran have failed, Axios reports, citing two Israeli officials familiar with the matter.
Israel has been preparing to launch such a strike, sparking fears in Washington that one might go ahead and scuttle the nuclear talks with Iran.
Trump confirmed publicly last week that he had asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off on such an attack for the time being.
Israel conveyed the reassurance to the White House during a visit last week by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, Mossad Director David Barnea and National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi, Axios says.
