Netanyahu Outlines Conditions for Any Potential Agreement on Iran Following Washington Visit

WANA (Feb 15) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in remarks following his recent trip to Washington and meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, outlined his positions and proposed conditions for any potential agreement concerning Iran’s nuclear program and missile capabilities.

 

Netanyahu said that if an agreement is to be reached, it must include several key components. He stated that the first condition is the complete removal of all enriched materials from Iranian territory.

 

He added that the second condition is that no enrichment capability should remain, meaning not only the cessation of enrichment activities but also the dismantling of equipment and infrastructure that enable enrichment.

 

The Israeli prime minister also said the third condition would be limiting the range of Iran’s ballistic missiles to a maximum of 300 kilometers, with full compliance by Tehran. As a fourth condition, he called for the dismantling of what he described as the “Axis of Resistance.”

 

In another part of his remarks, Netanyahu addressed developments related to the Gaza war, stressing the need for Hamas to be disarmed and claiming the group should hand over all its weapons and that the entire Gaza Strip should be demilitarized. He also said U.S. support — particularly from President Trump — had, in his view, helped advance Israel’s objectives.

 

He added that Israel has given the U.S. president’s proposal an opportunity and expressed hope that the disarmament goal would be achieved, while emphasizing that a ceasefire does not mean Israel will refrain from taking actions it deems necessary and that Gaza should not pose a future threat to Israel.

 


Rezaei Outlines Red Lines Ahead of Geneva Nuclear Talks

 

WANA (Feb 15) – The spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Iran’s Parliament, Ebrahim Rezaei, has detailed Tehran’s framework and red lines ahead of the upcoming round of negotiations, underscoring that uranium enrichment and nuclear stockpiles remain non-negotiable.

 

In an interview, the lawmaker emphasized that “in this round of talks, there is no discussion whatsoever about halting or abandoning uranium enrichment,” adding that Iran’s nuclear reserves will not be transferred out of the country.

 

Referring to previous negotiations, Rezaei said these issues had already been accepted by the American side in earlier discussions.

 

Rezaei stressed that the Geneva talks are strictly focused on the nuclear file and bear no relation to Iran’s missile program or regional matters. He further stated that Tehran considers the Israeli regime to be the principal source of instability in the region….

WANA (Feb 15) – Iran’s top military official has issued a sharp warning to U.S. President Donald Trump, saying that any military confrontation with Iran would result in consequences that would serve as a “lesson” for Washington.

 

Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, criticized recent remarks by the U.S. president claiming global superpower status, describing them as unbefitting of a head of state. “The statements made by the U.S. president, who claims to be a superpower leader, are not worthy of a president and are reckless,” Mousavi said.

 

He questioned what he described as contradictory messaging from Washington, asking why Trump speaks of negotiations while simultaneously threatening war. “If Trump intends to wage war, why does he talk about negotiations?” the senior commander said.

 

Mousavi further warned that any decision to confront Iran militarily would have far-reaching consequences. “Trump must know that he would be entering a battle that will become a lasting lesson. The outcome of such a move would ensure that he would no longer engage in bullying rhetoric on the global stage.”

Referring to the previous nuclear agreement — widely understood as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action — Ghanbari noted that the United States did not secure significant economic benefits from that arrangement. He argued that for any new agreement to prove durable, Washington must also be positioned to gain tangible and rapid economic returns….
