'Imminent' US-Iran deal not in Tel Aviv's interest, Israeli media says
Israeli media outlets have reported growing concern over an "imminent agreement" between Washington and Tehran, with several commentators suggesting the emerging framework may not align with Israel’s strategic objectives.
Channel 12 described the coming hours as critical and said details reported so far did not appear to favour Israel.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, concerns are mounting that any agreement may fall short of requiring the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear programme, limiting its missile capabilities or addressing Tehran’s regional allies.
Meanwhile, Maariv argued that Israel may need to reassess its regional strategy and build new alliances in response to shifting geopolitical realities.
Other Israeli media outlets criticised what they described as the silence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his office amid reports that a US-Iran agreement could be announced soon.
