Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sent a clear message to the United States: any new nuclear deal with Iran must completely end its nuclear weapons program. If it does not fully dismantle everything, the deal will not be enough, he said.

This news came on Saturday from Al-Arabiya, which spoke to unnamed sources close to the talks. Netanyahu believes Iran should not be allowed to keep any part of its nuclear work that could lead to atomic bombs.

Israel has long feared Iran’s nuclear activities. For years, Iranian leaders have said their program is only for peaceful energy and medical use. However, many countries, including Israel and the United States, worry that Iran is secretly building nuclear weapons. Israel sees this as a direct threat to its safety.

According to the sources, Israel is also thinking about stronger military steps in its conflict with Iran. One option being discussed is striking Iran’s energy infrastructure, such as oil fields, refineries, or power plants. These attacks would hurt Iran’s economy and its ability to support military work. Israel has already carried out some strikes on Iranian targets in recent times.

Netanyahu will do what next?

At the same time, Israeli officials say talks with Iran should not drag on too long. They want quick results. If negotiations take many months without real progress, Israel may choose to act alone to protect itself. Netanyahu has often said Israel will do whatever is necessary to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

This strong stand comes at a tense time. The United States has tried different ways to reach a deal with Iran in the past. The 2015 nuclear deal, which limited Iran’s activities, was abandoned by former US President Donald Trump in 2018. Talks to bring it back have not fully succeeded. Now, with new tensions, both sides are watching closely.

Iran has warned that any attack on its land will bring a strong response. It says its nuclear sites are well protected. Meanwhile, many countries in the Middle East and around the world fear a bigger war. Higher oil prices, more refugees, and wider fighting could follow if the situation gets worse.

Supporters of a tough line on Iran say full dismantlement is the only safe choice. They argue that partial deals in the past failed to stop Iran’s progress. Critics say too much pressure could make Iran hide its work even more or push it to speed up its program.

Netanyahu shows Israel’s firm position. It wants real action, not just promises. As talks continue between the US and Iran, Israel is preparing for all possibilities. The coming weeks may decide whether diplomacy works or if the conflict grows into something much larger.
