CNN reported U.S. Vice President Vance said the U.S.-Iran memorandum is roughly one-and-a-half pages and is therefore very vague.

At his first press conference since March, Prime Minister Netanyahu, referring to a U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, said Iran will never possess nuclear weapons “with or without this agreement” and vowed “as long as I remain prime minister this will absolutely not happen.” He said Israeli forces will remain in south Lebanon, parts of Syria and the Gaza Strip “as long as security needs” require, maintaining a so-called “security zone.” Netanyahu said Israel will continue targeted removal of regional security threats, pursue new strategic alliances inside and outside the region, secure autonomous weapons supply and develop advanced technologies. He said he and U.S. President Trump “often agree but sometimes disagree.” Netanyahu confirmed he will run in the upcoming Israeli election and intends to win.
