🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡- BREAKING: Yinon, on the pro-Likud Channel 14, comments on Netanyahu's recent video message saying that the Israeli Prime Minister is 'intentionally sabotaging' the 'US-Iran talks' by outlining ridiculous demands on Iran, which Iran will obviously not agree to - the 'Libyan scenario'.

Yinon asserts that Netanyahu was made aware of the possible US-Iran talks prior to his trip to the US. Which is likely why Yediot Ahronot, an outlet very close to Netanyahu, threatened military action against Iran without the US military support (but possible logistical support). Either the US pushes Iran into a 'Libyan scenario' deal, or Israel attacks. This puts pressure on the Trump administration to get Iran to accept a deal that Tehran will very likely refuse. The article was published ironically moments before the Trump-Netanyahu meeting.

Barak Ravid, an Israeli US-based and anti-Likud journalist, confirmed that during the meeting the Iranian nuclear deal was raised, and Netanyahu made it clear what was acceptable for Tel-Aviv.

Yinon, like the rest of the Likud right-faction including Netanyahu, believe a military solution is the only answer to Iran's nuclear question.
