Israel sees no nuclear deal with Iran before US mid-term elections

Israel does not see a renewal of the historic 2015 Iran nuclear deal with world powers before the United States mid-term elections in November. In recent days, Israel has been advocating against the re-entry of the deal sought by the current US administration.

On Saturday, Britain, France and Germany (E3) also said that they had "serious doubts" about Iran's intentions over the revival of the nuclear deal. However, Iran called the European statement "unconstructive".

Citing European parties’ frustration over the deal, the Israeli official said, "At this point in time, it appears that a nuclear deal with Iran will not be signed at least until after the US mid-term elections.” The Iranian official also supported the decision of former US president Donald Trump's withdrawal from the deal.

Briefing the Israeli cabinet on Sunday, the Prime Minister of Israel, Yair Lapid, thanked the European powers for their stand over the 2015 nuclear deal. Israeli Prime Minister arrived in Germany on Sunday to persuade Western countries to ditch their nuclear deal with Iran.

After 16 months of indirect talks between Iran and the United States, the European Union on August 8 laid down a final offer for the revival of the historic deal. However, recent political problems have affected the deal. Recently, the President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisolsadati, said that reviving the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers would not make any sense unless the United Nations nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), put an end to its probe of undeclared sites in Iran. The Iranian officials also said that Tehran needed stronger guarantees from the United States for the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Earlier, the talks for the revival of the agreement were stopped when Iran demanded that the US must remove the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) from the State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organisations.
