Iran updates: Netanyahu refrains from criticizing Iran deal

Article excerpt

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stopped short of criticizing Iran's nuclear deal, a notable restraint given his past opposition to the agreement. Netanyahu said he doesn't always align with US President Donald Trump on policy matters, signaling potential daylight between the two leaders on how to handle Iran. The comments came as Iran provided updates on its nuclear program, marking a moment of diplomatic complexity where Israel's top official avoided the hardline rhetoric that has long defined his stance toward Tehran.
