<\/p>\nThe Prime Minister\u2019s Office said Thursday night that US President Donald Trump spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding an emerging memorandum of understanding with Iran ahead of formal negotiations, while Iran\u2019s Fars news agency signaled a \u201chigh probability\u201d of accepting the deal. <\/p>\n
In a statement, the Prime Minister\u2019s Office said that although Israel was not involved in the memorandum of understanding, Netanyahu welcomed commitments conveyed by President Trump regarding the goals of any eventual agreement. <\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough Israel is not a party to the memorandum of understanding, the Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for President Trump\u2019s commitment that the final agreement at the conclusion of negotiations will include the removal of enriched material, the dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, restrictions on missile production, and an end to Iran\u2019s support for its terror proxies in the region.\u201d <\/p>\n
Earlier in the evening, a senior Israeli official told Channel 12 News that Israel had not received advance notification of a finalized US-Iran agreement. The official said, \u201cTo the best of our knowledge, Mojtaba Khamenei has not yet approved the agreement, and we are not aware of any finalized framework document.\u201d <\/p>\n
Channel 12 reported that Netanyahu\u2019s situation assessment meeting was dispersed shortly after it began because of a \u201cdiplomatic call.\u201d <\/p>\n
Later on Thursday, Iran\u2019s Fars news agency reported that there was \u201ca high probability that the regime will approve that proposal.\u201d Fars said a draft memorandum of understanding remained pending final approval in Tehran and Washington. <\/p>\n
The agency said President Trump had previously sought changes to the draft after becoming frustrated by delays from Mojtaba Khamenei in granting final approval. <\/p>\n
Iran has insisted that the war end \u201con all fronts,\u201d particularly in Lebanon, while the proposed arrangement would also reopen the Strait of Hormuz and provide for the gradual easing of the US blockade on Iranian ports and certain sanctions relief. <\/p>\n
The memorandum would not resolve disputes over Iran\u2019s nuclear program. Instead, it would launch a separate negotiating process on future restrictions. Previous reports indicated those talks would continue for 60 days. <\/p>\n
The remarks followed a Truth Social post by President Trump announcing that planned US strikes on Iran had been canceled and that discussions toward an agreement were advancing. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,\u201d President Trump wrote. <\/p>\n
He also stated that \u201cDiscussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others.\u201d <\/p>\n
President Trump added: \u201cThe Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized\u2014Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly.\u201d <\/p>\n
The post announced a cancellation of what would have been a third consecutive night of strikes against Iran. The United States launched two days of retaliatory strikes on Iranian military and radar sites after Tehran downed an American Apache helicopter. Iran later fired ballistic missiles and drones at US assets in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Prime Minister\u2019s Office said Thursday night that US President Donald Trump spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-488233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488233","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=488233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
