John Kerry Israel cannot destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities
John Kerry, Secretary of State under former Democratic President Barack Obama, stated that Israel lacks the capability to carry out an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. his remarks were made during a CNN interview, as reported by webangah News Agency.
When asked about ongoing US-Iran negotiations and what agreement President Donald Trump could perhaps achieve—given Kerry’s involvement in the 2015 deal—he responded: “I hope he can reach the best possible agreement. I hope they make a deal. I’m glad the president is pursuing this; I think it’s critically critically important.”
Kerry added: “Why the president withdrew from an agreement that had eliminated the nuclear weapons issue is controversial. But what matters is that he’s negotiating now, and I hope he reaches a good deal that meets the standards we set in the previous agreement.”
He further emphasized: ”I think it’s critically important to note that Israel alone does not have the ability to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. it might inflict meaningful damage, but such an action would trigger a process posing far greater risks for the entire region.”
The fifth round of indirect talks between Tehran and Washington on Iran’s nuclear program concluded yesterday in Rome.
Axios cited officials describing the three-hour negotiations as “highly productive and fruitful.”
