'US-Iran deal won't limit Israel's freedom of action, Netanyahu says'

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that any agreement between Washington and Tehran would not restrict Israel's ability to act against Iran, even as he acknowledged he had not yet seen the details of the reported US-Iran deal.

Speaking at his first press conference since the agreement was announced, Netanyahu said that Iran would not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon "with or without an agreement" and said he had conveyed Israel's position to US President Donald Trump.

"I did not say that one of the goals of the operation was to overthrow the Iranian regime. The goal is to remove an existential nuclear threat from us, and we did that. We wanted to remove the missile threat, and we did that," i24 cited Netanyahu.

"We said that we would create the conditions for the Iranian people to want to remove this terrorist regime. Iran is in a very difficult economic situation. We have hit all the infrastructure, the damage is enormous. There are cracks in the regime. I cannot say when the regime will fall," he added.
