Israel remains committed to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons – Gov’t
Foreign
On Wednesday, Netanyahu spoke on the phone with United States (U.S.) President Joe Biden for the first time since the latter’s inauguration in late January.
“PMO: Israel remains committed to preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons and its position on the nuclear agreement has not changed.
The JCPOA was signed in 2015 by Iran, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the U.S., and the European Union, stipulating the removal of international sanctions from Tehran in exchange for it scaling down its nuclear program.
In mid-January, Israeli media reported that the Biden administration was negotiating Washington’s return to the deal, possibly to introduce certain changes to it.
Israel-Iran ties suffered a new round of escalation in late November following the assassination of prominent Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who used to be one of the key figures behind Iran’s nuclear program.
