Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the conflict with Iran was "not over", warning that Tehran's nuclear programme and missile capabilities remained unresolved despite ongoing diplomatic efforts. In a recorded interview with60 Minutes,Netanyahu said both Israel and the United States were still seeking to eliminate Iran's nuclear ambitions.
"There's still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran," he said. "There is still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled, there's still proxies that Iran supports, there are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce ... there's work to be done."
When asked how the US and Israel would remove Iran's nuclear material, Netanyahu replied: "You go in, and you take it out." His comments came as indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran continued through Pakistani mediators in an effort to secure a broader peace agreement after weeks of conflict.
Earlier on Sunday,Donald Trump publicly rejectedIran's latest response to a US peace proposal. Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump described Tehran's counteroffer as "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!"
According to a report byThe Wall Street Journal,Iran did not agree to key American demands regarding its nuclear programme and stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
Instead, Tehran reportedly proposed separate nuclear negotiations, while offering to dilute part of its enriched uranium stockpile and transfer the remainder to a third country. The material would reportedly be returned if the United States later withdrew from any agreement.
The report also said Iran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping in exchange for the United States ending restrictions on Iranian ports.
The closure of the strait during the conflict has disrupted global energy markets and contributed to rising fuel prices internationally.
Washington has insisted that any agreement must include firm guarantees that Iran will end its nuclear programme.
According to the Journal report, Iran agreed only to suspend uranium enrichment temporarily, rejecting a proposed 20-year moratorium and refusing to dismantle its nuclear facilities.
