Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates<br \/>\nhave publicly stated they will not allow their airspace to be used for strikes<br \/>\non Iran or for Iranian strikes on other countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second US aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford,<br \/>\nalong with its strike group, will be deployed to the Middle East to join the<br \/>\nexisting substantial US presence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Four US officials told CBS that a carrier strike group will<br \/>\nbe redeployed from the Caribbean, a move that would position massive firepower<br \/>\nwithin striking distance of Iran amid rising regional tensions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he \u201cprefers<br \/>\ndiplomacy\u201d regarding Iran, confirming that US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared<br \/>\nKushner will travel to hold \u201cimportant meetings\u201d with Iranian officials,<br \/>\nadding, \u201cWe will see how things proceed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi <a href=\"https:\/\/shafaq.com\/en\/Middle-East\/Iran-s-FM-heads-to-Geneva-for-US-nuclear-talks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">departed<\/a> for Geneva,<br \/>\nSwitzerland, on Sunday at the head of a diplomatic delegation to take part in<br \/>\nthe second round of talks with the United States scheduled for next week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A statement from the country\u2019s Foreign Ministry noted that<br \/>\nAraghchi is expected to meet several international officials, including<br \/>\nSwitzerland\u2019s foreign minister, Oman\u2019s foreign minister, and the director<br \/>\ngeneral of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), along with other<br \/>\nrepresentatives based in Switzerland, to review developments related to the<br \/>\nnuclear file and other issues of mutual interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-02-15T19:15:13+00:00 font Enable Reading Mode A- A A+ Shafaq News- Middle East Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293040,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,12196,85,87,46,148873,43,2586],"class_list":{"0":"post-293039","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-israel","8":"tag-benjamin-netanyahu","9":"tag-breaking","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-iran","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-israels-netanyahu-sets-key-conditions-for-any-us-deal-with-iran","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
