  • 2,000 Iranian ballistic missiles capable of reaching 'Israel': Walla

Iran possesses around 2,000 ballistic missiles of various types capable of reaching "Israel", the Israeli website Walla, citing foreign reports.

In a report by military affairs analyst Amir Bohbot, the website noted that “there is a state of anticipation within Israel’s security establishment and political leadership" over the possibility that US President Donald Trump may soon express his position regarding nuclear talks with Iran.

This anticipation stems from the likelihood that Trump might publicly reveal whether an agreement is near or if talks are on the verge of collapse, developments that, according to the website, “could open the door for Israel to pursue a military option.”

The report also mentioned that sources within the Israeli security establishment estimated last month that an Israeli attack on Iran would be Trump’s last resort, especially after Tehran agreed to engage in talks in an effort to reach diplomatic understandings.

Netanyahu push for military option as talks continue

While the Israeli military has increased its operational readiness to target Iran’s nuclear program over the past year and a half, Trump’s statements suggest he will not allow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to surprise him with a unilateral strike, Walla indicated.

In a rare public divergence from the US president, Netanyahu called on Sunday for the complete dismantling of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, rejecting any deal that allows Tehran to continue enriching uranium.

His remarks follow statements by American officials indicating that the United States does not necessarily seek to stop Iran from enriching uranium entirely, as long as the program remains peaceful, which the Israeli regime vehemently opposes.

Iran’s red lines on uranium enrichment

According to Iranian officials, Tehran is willing to negotiate certain restrictions on its nuclear activities in exchange for lifting sanctions. However, ending its enrichment program or relinquishing its enriched uranium stockpile remain among Iran’s "red lines" that are non-negotiable.

The Walla report came after Iran and the United States concluded their third round of indirect talks regarding the Iranian nuclear program this past Saturday in the Omani capital, Muscat.

The latest round focused on technical details of a potential nuclear agreement, including the restrictions the US wishes to impose on Iran’s program and the sanctions Tehran seeks to have lifted.

Third round more positive

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the round as more serious and practical than previous ones, adding that the overall atmosphere was “positive”.

Araghchi also noted that the talks had moved into technical specifics, away from generalities, although some differences over broad issues remain, requiring further work in the next phases.

He announced that the next round of talks is scheduled for this coming Saturday in Oman, affirming that the pace of negotiations is gaining momentum, amid an atmosphere of seriousness and determination on both sides.

From the American side, Trump stated in an interview with Time magazine that "we're going to make a deal with Iran," while reiterating the possibility of military action if diplomacy fails.

He also expressed openness to meeting with the Leader of the Islamic Republic and Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, or Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
