Trump said after agreeing on the memorandum of understanding with Iran on Sunday that any final agreement would allow Tehran to enrich uranium at low levels that “could never be used for military purposes.”
Speaking alongside French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday, the American leader stressed that Tehran “fully agreed to that, with strong policing powers, and they won’t have a nuclear weapon, which is what it was all about—because they probably would have used it if they had it.”
Trump said the full text of the MOU would be made public “pretty soon,” adding: “I want it to be released, because it’s a very powerful document.”
“I would say sometime after Friday. Because the Strait [of Hormuz] opens; it’s open now, but it opens completely,” he said.
Tally Gotliv, a lawmaker for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party, told JNS on Tuesday that “the agreement between the United States and Iran relates to Washington,” not Jerusalem.
The Israel Defense Forces demonstrated “extraordinary strength and intelligence” in operations against Tehran and its terror proxies, including the elimination of the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Iranian soil, she said.
“The elimination of Iran’s air defense capabilities confirmed Israel’s air superiority, while inflicting significant damage on Iran’s missile factories, production capabilities and broader weapons infrastructure,” she continued.
“Iran’s recent attacks on Israel demonstrated the regime’s weakness and diminished capabilities, and this is a great achievement. Little Israel, acting in coalition with the United States, demonstrated enormous strength,” she added.
“The operations of our Air Force and our brave fighters in Lebanese territory, including the capture of Beaufort Castle, caused serious damage to Hezbollah and weakened the terrorist organization. Israel will continue, as the prime minister said, to defend its borders and act against terrorist organizations that seek to harm the country,” she said.
Ohad Tal, a lawmaker for Israel’s Religious Zionism Party, told JNS on Monday, “The agreement with the Iranians is a bad deal. Period.”
“It leaves them with their uranium, their missile program and their ability to spread terrorism around the world, while funneling money to the regime that will only strengthen it and advance its extremist ambitions. According to reports, the agreement is merely temporary, which will only postpone the return to fighting,” he said.
“In the Security Cabinet, we presented the position that what happens in Iran is President Trump’s issue, but what happens in Lebanon is Israel’s concern alone. The United States and Iran are not parties to what takes place in Lebanon. In the Lebanese arena, Israel will certainly continue to preserve its freedom of action, fight against Hezbollah and ensure the security of the residents of northern Israel,” Tal added.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance told George Stephanopoulos on ABC‘s “Good Morning America” on Monday that the agreement negotiated by Trump was “performance-based” and contingent on the regime giving up its nuclear weapons program and stopping funding “terrorist activities all over the Middle East.”
Tehran and Washington signed a digital memorandum of understanding on Sunday, “and there’s been no money released—and that won’t change,” the vice president added.
“We’re willing to give significant sanctions relief if the Iranians make the kind of long-term commitments that are necessary to be a normal country,” Vance told Stephanopoulos.
