Israel Sets "Triple Red Lines" for Trump’s Iran Deal: No Nukes, No Missiles, and No Regional Proxies

Israeli officials have warned the United States against falling for an Iranian "deception," according to Channel 12. During high-level meetings in Washington last week, Israel’s Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and Intel Chief Shlomi Binder presented three mandatory conditions for any "good deal": zero nuclear weapons, a total halt to ballistic missile production, and the termination of support for proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis. Israel views the current unrest in Iran as a "historic opportunity" that must not be wasted on a partial agreement.

While President Trump remains focused on "the art of the deal," Jerusalem is providing sensitive intelligence showing Tehran’s clandestine efforts to rebuild its missile capabilities following the June 2025 conflict. Israel argues that achieving total air superiority over Tehran—similar to the "Lion's Breath" operation—requires a much larger military force than currently assembled if the goal is regime change. The standoff continues as Tehran insists its missile defense remains a non-negotiable sovereign right.
