[Israeli Media: Trump Insists on Complete Dismantling of Iranian Nuclear Facilities, Will Not Agree to Any Final Agreement] 1. According to Israeli media reports, the United States is keeping Israel informed of the negotiations on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the latest developments in consultations with Iran on unresolved issues. Trump reiterated to Netanyahu that he will not agree to any final agreement unless Iran's nuclear program is completely dismantled and all enriched uranium is removed from the country. 2. In a call with Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized that Israel reserves the right to take action against threats in the region (including Lebanon). Trump expressed support for this position, indicating a certain consensus between the two sides on regional security issues, but there is still significant tension on the terms of the agreement. 3. Israel's Channel 12 television, citing Israeli officials, reported that Israel believes Trump's special envoy, Witkov, is "willing to reach an agreement at almost any cost." According to the terms of the agreement disclosed by the media, Iran exchanges the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for economic benefits such as the lifting of the maritime blockade and the gradual easing of sanctions, while Iran's nuclear program and the disposal of enriched uranium are postponed to a later stage of discussion. 4. Israel considers the fact that Iran's ballistic missile program wasn't even included in the negotiation agenda a "terrible" arrangement. However, Channel 12 also emphasized that Trump and Netanyahu remain in close coordination and there has been no fundamental rift. 5. On the same day, Trump posted on social media that an agreement aimed at ending the war was "fundamentally agreed upon," including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that the two sides are in the final stages of finalizing the memorandum of understanding, but emphasized that the current focus is solely on ending the war and does not involve details of the nuclear issue.
