Axios cites sources as saying that “the European draft of a nuclear deal with Iran indicates that the implementation will be phased.”

Axios previously reported, citing Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, that “the Americans answered most of what we asked for in their response to the draft nuclear agreement.”

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said: “We are not against an agreement with Iran, but we are against the current agreement because it is bad and does not meet the standards set by US President Joe Biden himself.” He stressed that “if the deal they are preparing with Tehran is signed, Israel will not be bound and we will work to ensure that Iran does not become a nuclear power.”

“Iran has waived some key terms in order to revive the nuclear deal, including insisting that international inspectors shut down some investigations into its nuclear program,” a US official told Reuters, moving closer to reaching an agreement.
