TEHERAN -- Menlu Iran Abbas Araghchi mengungkap bahwa Israel terus berupaya menyabotase perundingan nuklir mereka dengan Amerika Serikat (AS). Menurut Araghchi, Perdana Menteri Benjamin Netanyahu, "mendikte apa yang boleh dan apa yang tidak boleh dilakukan Presiden Trump dalam negosiasinya dengan Iran".

Araghchi sebelumnya mengindikasikan ootimismenya menyusul pertemuan ketiga dengan utusan AS Steve Witckof di Oman, Sabtu (26/4/2025). A senior US official reported “further progress” had been made over the weekend, according to the Reuters news agency.

The negotiations are aimed at ensuring Iran does not use its nuclear programme to develop weapons. In exchange, Tehran would receive relief from international sanctions.

In response to a third round of US-Iran negotiations that appeared to gather momentum in Oman over the weekend, Netanyahu reiterated demands that Iran’s nuclear programme be entirely dismantled.

However, the talks have put Israel on alert. Netanyahu insisted late on Sunday that the only “good deal” to emerge from the talks would be one that removed “all of [Iran’s nuclear] infrastructure”.

The Israeli leader, who has refused to rule out an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, said he had told Trump that any nuclear agreement reached with Iran should also prevent Tehran from developing ballistic missiles.

Trump, who has threatened military action against Iran several times, said in an interview published on Friday that he thought a deal would happen. He added that while Netanyahu might “go into a war”, the US was “not getting dragged in”.

However, he warned the US might “go in very willingly if we can’t get a deal”.

“If we don’t make a deal, I’ll be leading the pack,” he said.
