ISRAEL PERSPECTIVE

Jerusalem is unequivocal: the war is not over as long as Iran keeps its nuclear facilities. Netanyahu demands not only the removal of enriched uranium but the physical dismantlement of centrifuges and enrichment infrastructure. The distinction is crucial for Israel: a transferred stockpile can be rebuilt in months; destroyed infrastructure takes years. The Jerusalem Post notes that Israeli and US strikes targeted nuclear 'weaponization' — the conversion of civilian sites into weapons facilities — not merely enrichment. Accepting the Iranian proposal as-is would mean restarting the negotiation from scratch in two years.
