Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a striking "Iran" statement after a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House the other day. Before the upcoming talks between the U.S. and Iran, Netanyahu shared a video message, threatening Tehran.
NETANYAHU: WE WILL TURN TO MILITARY OPTION IF IRAN DOES NOT ABANDON NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Netanyahu stated that they would resort to the option of war if Iran does not agree to negotiations regarding nuclear weapons. He said they would not accept the agreement as long as Iran does not render all its nuclear facilities inoperable. The Israeli Prime Minister stated, "We agree that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. If a nuclear agreement cannot be reached, we will turn to the military option."
"WE AGREE WITH TRUMP"
Stating that Iran should not possess nuclear weapons, Netanyahu noted that he and U.S. President Donald Trump are in agreement on this issue. Netanyahu expressed that Tehran's possession of such weapons could also be prevented through an agreement.
"IRAN'S NUCLEAR FACILITIES MUST BE DESTROYED UNDER U.S. SUPERVISION"
Netanyahu asserted that in a possible agreement, Iran's nuclear facilities should be completely destroyed under U.S. supervision, and the equipment in these facilities should be dismantled. He also mentioned the plan to forcibly displace Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, stating that they discussed this issue during his meeting with President Trump yesterday. Netanyahu claimed that they are in talks with some countries to accept these Palestinians as part of the plan involving their forced displacement from Gaza.
The Israeli Prime Minister argued that the plan announced by Trump "must be implemented sooner or later." Netanyahu also claimed that Turkey wants to establish military bases in Syria, which he stated poses a "threat to Israel." He said they are against Turkey establishing military bases in Syria, adding, "I told President Trump, who is my friend and also a friend of (President) Erdoğan, 'If we need your help, we will discuss this matter with you.'
NETANYAHU-TRUMP MEETING
U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu met at the White House the other day. After the meeting, Trump and Netanyahu made statements to the press in the Oval Office.
Trump stated that they discussed the issue of Iran comprehensively with Netanyahu, saying, "Today, we frankly discussed issues related to Iran. We are having direct talks with Iran, which are ongoing, and discussions will continue on Saturday. I think everyone agrees that reaching an agreement would be preferable. I hope these talks will be successful."
TRUMP: IF TALKS FAIL, IRAN WILL BE IN GREAT DANGER
Trump highlighted the direct talks with Iran that will continue over the weekend, saying, "We are having direct discussions with Iran. Perhaps a great agreement will be reached. This would be really great for Iran, I can say that. We will meet at the highest level on Saturday and see how it turns out."
Emphasizing that the talks with Iran are not taking place through other countries, Trump stated, "If the talks fail, I regret to say that Iran will be in great danger. They cannot acquire nuclear weapons." Trump noted that if an agreement cannot be reached, "it will be a very bad day for Iran." The U.S. President expressed that the new agreement would be somewhat different but much stronger than the previous one.
