High-level security officials in Israel and the United States reportedly support a military strike against Iran aimed at undermining its military capabilities and nuclear program. This action could potentially strengthen Washington's negotiating position with Tehran. Kan correspondent Gili Cohen, citing Israeli sources, reported that Iran has not yet shown a willingness to make concessions on its nuclear file. Meanwhile, diplomatic sources familiar with the mediation between Washington and Tehran revealed to "Erem News" that the U.S. has proposed a partial easing of sanctions on Iran as part of a phased agreement. This would begin with reopening the Strait of Hormuz to international navigation, followed by gradual nuclear negotiations. Tehran has not yet responded to the American proposal. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Iranian demands are unacceptable, describing talks with Tehran as unproductive and their demands as "ridiculous and unrealistic." Rubio added that President Donald Trump prefers a diplomatic solution, speaking before departing for Paris to attend a G7 foreign ministers' conference.
