Emerging nuclear agreement between US and Iran seems problematic, officials tell 'Post'
The US is not automatically adopting Israel’s position that the enrichment facilities must be dismantled.
The emerging agreement between Iran and the US seems problematic for Israel, Israeli officials told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
Israel's official position, as publicly stated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is that the US should insist on the "Libyan model" in any agreement, meaning, as was the case with Libya about twenty years ago, the complete dismantling of uranium enrichment facilities.
Two Western officials told the Post that progress has recently been made in the talks between the US and Iran.
They added that several options related to enrichment facilities and the broader issue of uranium enrichment are currently being considered.
Gaps still remain
In conclusion, the officials noted that gaps still remain, and as a result, the talks may not ultimately lead to an agreement.
