"According to it, agreements that do not dismantle Iran's nuclear infrastructure will not put a stop to its nuclear program. In fact, they only grant the Iranian regime money that will then go to Iran's terror proxies," the statement read.
On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Iran "significantly" slowed down the rate at which it accumulated enriched uranium, as well as diluting its stockpile, amid a release of four US citizens to house arrest by Tehran's regime.
There also appeared to be broader agreements between the US and Iran, two Israeli officials told the New York Times. Both American newspapers pointed out that there could be a resumption of talks on Iran's nuclear program.
