JERUSALEM - Israel sought on Tuesday to stand aside from the conflict between its close ally the United States and Iran, and said it was unclear whether Tehran’s abandonment of uranium enrichment limits meant it was on a path toward a nuclear weapon.
Asked on Israel Radio whether Iran was “on the way to an atomic bomb”, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, one of Netanyahu’s closest lieutenants and a member of the security cabinet, said: “It’s too early to say.” But Iran also said on Sunday it would continue to cooperate with the U.N. nuclear watchdog and could reverse its steps if U.S. sanctions were removed.
But he largely stepped away publicly from that line after the nuclear deal was signed, focusing instead on pushing for the agreement to be scrapped and sanctions restored. The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council was quoted as saying on Tuesday that Tehran was considering 13 “revenge scenarios” for Soleimani’s killing.
