Israel and Iran seemed to be honored fragile ceasefire between them For a second day on Wednesday and US President Donald Trump claimed that American and Iranian officials speak next week and hopefully hope for long -term peace.
Trump, who helped negotiate the ceasefire, which was able on Tuesday on the 12th war day, said reporters At a NATO summit The fact that he was not particularly interested in restarting the negotiations with Iran and insisting that US strikes had destroyed his nuclear program. In the past, an Iranian official asked whether the United States could be trustworthy afterwards His weekend attack.
“We can sign an agreement, I don’t know,” said Trump. “As I look at it, they fought, the war is ready.”
Iran has not recognized talks that will take place next week, although the US envoy Steve Witkoff in the middle of the east had given direct and indirect communication between the countries. A sixth round of the US Iran negotiations was planned in Oman for the beginning of this month, but was canceled after Israel attacked Iran.
Trump previously said that the ceasefire was “very good” and added that Iran “would not have a bomb and that they will not enrich it”.
Iran insisted that it will not give up his nuclear program. In a vote that underlines the difficult path, his parliament agreed to pursue a proposal too quickly that would effectively stop the country Cooperation with the International Atomic Energy AgencyThe UN wax dog that has been monitoring the program for years.
Before the vote, the spokesman for the parliament of Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf criticized the IAEO because he had refused to “even pretend the attack on the nuclear institutions of Iranian nuclear” that the United States carried out on Sunday.
“For this reason, the atomic energy organization of Iran will suspend the cooperation with the IAEO until the safety of the nuclear institutions is ensured, and Iran’s peaceful nuclear program will progress faster,” Qalibaf told the legislators.
General Director IAEO Rafael Mariano Grossi He wrote to Iran to discuss the recording inspections of her nuclear facilities. Among other things, Iran claims to have moved its highly enriched uranium in front of the US strikes, and Grossi said that his inspectors had to re -evaluate the country’s inventory.
“We have to return,” he said. “We have to get involved.”
French President Emmanuel Macron said he hoped Tehran would return to the table. France was part of the 2015 contract with Iran, which restricted his nuclear program, but the agreement dissolved after Trump had drawn the United States out during its first term. Macron spoke several times with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the war.
Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on Wednesday that Iran had to resume cooperation with international inspectors quickly and told the French broadcaster France 2 that the IAEO has lost visibility over sensitive core materials since hostility.
Grossi said that Iran was legally obliged to work with the IAEO as part of the non -distribution agreement.
“Inspections are not possible during a war. But now that the hostility has stopped, I think we will resume our activities as soon as possible,” he said.
Iran has long said that its nuclear program is peaceful, and the US secret services have examined that Tehran is not actively pursuing a bomb. However, the Israeli leaders have argued that Iran could quickly put together a nuclear weapon.
It is generally assumed that Israel is the only country with nuclear weapons in the Middle East that It never recognized.
Questions about the effectiveness of the US strikes
The Israel Atomic Energy Commission said that their assessment was that the strikes of the United States and Israeli strikes are. “Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons After many years. “There was no evidence to underpin his claim.
The US strikes met three Iranian nuclear sites that had “completely and completely wiped out” the country’s nuclear program. When asked about a US intelligence report in which the Iranian nuclear program was found was only withdrawn a few monthsTrump mocked and said it would take at least years to reconstruction.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Esmail Baghaei confirmed that the strikes of the American B-2 bombers with bunker bombs had caused considerable damage.
“Our nuclear installations were badly damaged, which is certain,” he told Al Jazera on Wednesday and refused to go into detail.
He seemed to suggest that Iran may not exclude the IAO inspectors forever, and found that the invoice in front of the parliament only speaks of the suspension of work with the agency and was not over. He also insisted that Iran has the right to pursue a nuclear energy program.
“Iran is determined to preserve this right under all circumstances,” he said.
Witkoff said late Tuesday fox The news’ The Ingraham Angle “, which Israel and the USA had achieved their goal with the” total destruction of the enrichment capacity “in Iran and the prerequisite of Iran for discussions – the Israel campaign.
“The evidence lies in pudding,” he said. “Nobody shoots together. It’s over.”
Hopes for a long -term peace agreement
An Israeli civil servant who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal considerations said that the ceasefire agreement with Iran was “quiet for quiet” without the Iranian nuclear program further understood.
Witkoff told Fox News that Trump would now like to land, “a comprehensive peace agreement that even exceeds the ceasefire.”
“We are already talking to each other, not only directly, but also about interlocutors,” said Witkoff and added that the conversations are promising.
Baghaei, the Iranian speaker, said Washington “torpedoed” diplomacy with his attacks on nuclear sites, and that Iran was always open to discussions, but national security was priority.
“We have to ensure whether the other parties are really serious when they talk about diplomacy, or is it part of their tactics to have more problems for the region and my country,” he said.
According to Grossi, Iran and the international community should use the chance of the ceasefire for a long -term diplomatic solution.
“From the … bad things that bring military conflicts with it, there is now also an option, an opening,” he said. “We shouldn’t miss this opportunity.”
A rare video from Mossad
Israel revealed details of the secret services and the hidden operations that made it possible for the country to effectively target Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists and important facilities.
In a rare video published by Israel’s Mossad Spy Agency, Chief David Barnea thanked the CIA as a key partner and his own agents for the work for years to achieve what was “initially unimaginable”.
“Thanks to the exact intelligence, advanced technologies and business skills beyond the imagination, we helped the Air Force to strike the Iranian nuclear project, to create air superiority in Iranian sky and to reduce the rocket threat,” said the agency in a Facebook post next to the video.
Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, the military chief of staff, claimed that Commando had secretly operated on “deep in the enemy territory” during the war.
