Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed skepticism regarding Iran's commitment to future nuclear agreements during a meeting with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Netanyahu emphasized that Iran's past behavior casts doubt on its reliability in honoring any pact.

The meeting, attended by key figures such as Israel's spy chief David Barnea, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and military commander Eyal Zamir, underscored Israeli concerns. Iranian sources revealed that Iran views demands on its ballistic missile program as a major obstacle compared to uranium enrichment.

As the U.S. and Iran prepare to engage in nuclear talks in Turkey, regional tensions escalate with the arrival of a U.S. aircraft carrier. President Trump has warned of potential military action, citing Iran's crackdowns, which Tehran attributes to outside interference.
