Israeli Official: White House Not Optimistic about Iran Deal
(Times of Israel) Lazar Berman - The atmosphere in the White House is "not optimistic" about returning to a nuclear deal with Iran, said a senior Israeli official after Israeli Prime Minister Bennett met with U.S. President Biden on Friday. The official stressed that the fate of the agreement depends on Iran. A return to the deal looked increasingly unlikely as Iran has moved further away from its obligations and as hardline president Ebrahim Raisi has taken office in Tehran. Biden and his staff surprised their Israeli guests by the attention they gave to the Iranian threat and how important it was to them, the Israeli official said.
