An Iranian official has condemned a recent meeting between U.S. and Israeli officials, labeling it as an illegal attempt to hinder Iran's nuclear aspirations. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson criticized the meeting, stating that it violated international law and asserting that neither Washington, D.C., nor Tel Aviv could impede Iran's progress in this regard.
The meeting, which took place between U.S. Secretary of State and the Israeli Prime Minister, focused primarily on Iran's nuclear program. While the Israeli Prime Minister expressed confidence in curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Iranian official disputed these claims, emphasizing the importance of dialogue over threats.
Furthermore, Netanyahu highlighted Israeli military operations that have reportedly weakened Iran's proxy groups in the Middle East, including Hamas. This aggressive stance has raised concerns among analysts that it could jeopardize President Trump's efforts to broker a peace deal with Iran.
During the meeting, U.S. officials reiterated their support for Trump's plan for Gaza, which aims to address the challenges posed by Iran in the region. Trump's proposal to remove Palestinians from Gaza and develop the territory under U.S. ownership has sparked criticism and apprehension.
As a symbolic gesture of solidarity, the U.S. sent a shipment of heavy bombs and munitions to Israel, underscoring the strong alliance between the two countries. Israeli defense officials welcomed the shipment, emphasizing its significance for their Air Force and military.
