Netanyahu Rejects Possibility of Diplomatic Deal with Iran
Tek Aviv: Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ruled out the possibility of reaching a diplomatic deal with Tehran, saying it is not possible to have a credible deal with Iran’s current leadership. Netanyahu, in a public address, employed forceful rhetoric against the Iranian government leaders and doubts about a negotiated resolution, according to international news agencies.
In a recent meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, the Israeli Prime Minister stated that they discussed the possibility of diplomacy with Iran, but he said he wasn’t optimistic that he could make any deal with Tehran’s ruling powers.

In recent weeks, the United States has announced a broad financial freeze and economic pressure campaign against Tehran’s income. Netanyahu’s comments coincide with continued regional tensions between Iran, the United States and Israel, as well as growing global worries about the security of shipping routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz. Striking the right balance between diplomacy, economic sanctions and military deterrence will be a key element of US and Israeli policy in the coming days related to Iran, analysts say.
