The draft is intended to serve as the basis for discussions at a meeting scheduled for Thursday in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/iran-news\/article-887525\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Geneva<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The talks are expected to include Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/article-887433\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">US envoys Steve Witkoff<\/a> and Jared Kushner. Oman\u2019s foreign minister is also expected to attend, along with the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli officials, along with some of their American counterparts, assess that the chances of a US-Iran agreement are low and that the likelihood of a US strike is high, several officials told the Post.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/iran-news\/article-887640\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">US President Donald Trump<\/a> and senior administration officials are expected to review the draft once it is received. Their assessment could determine whether the planned face-to-face meeting in Geneva proceeds or whether Washington concludes that diplomatic efforts have been exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to see Trump sending his people to meet the Iranians if the gaps remain large after the Iranian proposal,\u201d a US source told the Post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">According to media reports in Oman, Ali Larijani, a senior adviser to Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is expected to arrive in Muscat and transfer the draft agreement to US officials through Omani intermediaries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Against that backdrop, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a meeting on Monday evening with Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, and Mossad Director David Barnea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Earlier in the day, Netanyahu told the Knesset: \u201cWe are in very complex and challenging days.
