Israel's Netanyahu to make 'significant' announcement on Iran nuclear deal


  • English
  • Arabic

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will make a televised statement on Monday regarding a "significant development" about the Iranian nuclear deal.

The Israeli leader's office said the announcement will focus on the 2015 agreement with world powers that sought to rein in Tehran's nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief. It will take place from the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv.

It did not provide further details.

The statement follows US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit on Sunday and a telephone conversation between Mr Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump on Saturday.

"We remain deeply concerned about Irans dangerous escalation of threats towards Israel and the region", Pompeo said alongside Netanyahu on Sunday.

Netanyahu said that he believes "the greatest threat to the world and to our two countries, and to all countries, is the marriage of militant Islam with nuclear weapons, and specifically the attempt of Iran to acquire nuclear weapons".

Mr Netanyahu has long criticized the deal and welcomed the Trump administration's pledge to withdraw next month if it is not improved.

Tips to stay safe during hot weather
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can increase dehydration.
  • Seek cool environments: Use air conditioning, fans, or visit community spaces with climate control.
  • Limit outdoor activities: Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat. If outside, seek shade and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
  • Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose and light-coloured clothing to facilitate heat loss.
  • Check on vulnerable people: Regularly check in on elderly neighbours, young children and those with health conditions.
  • Home adaptations: Use blinds or curtains to block sunlight, avoid using ovens or stoves, and ventilate living spaces during cooler hours.
  • Recognise heat illness: Learn the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, nausea), and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
