Israel’s Bennett says deal with Iran must dismantle entire nuclear program

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday that any agreement with Iran must lead to the full dismantling of its nuclear program, an end to its regional activities, and a halt to missile development.

“The only deal worth making with Iran is one that: 1. Fully and permanently dismantles its nuclear program. 2. Ends all export of Iranian terrorism. 3. Fully stops ballistic missile development,” Bennett wrote on X.

He praised what he called unprecedented US leverage under President Donald Trump, saying Iran and its allies are now “temporarily weaker than ever, almost defenseless.”

“It would be a historic miss to allow Iran to regroup and threaten us—the US, Israel and the rest of the world—again,” he added.
