The media learned about the assignment of Netanyahu's assistant to monitor the negotiations between the United States and Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed his key aide, former Minister of Strategic Planning Ron Dermer, to monitor potential negotiations between the United States and Iran on compliance with the "red lines". This was reported on March 24 by Bloomberg, citing an Israeli official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

"Netanyahu instructed his close associate Ron Dermer to monitor the US-Iranian negotiations aimed at ending the war and ensure that the interests of the country are respected," the agency writes.

According to the source, Dermer's main focus is on ensuring the elimination of Iran's nuclear program and the seizure and destruction of approximately 440 kg of highly enriched uranium. According to the agency, Dermer is close to many in the administration of US President Donald Trump, including the head of the White House himself.

According to the author of the article, this appointment shows how seriously Netanyahu treats potential negotiations between Washington and Tehran and that the Israeli prime minister's government is "somewhat wary" of the fact that the United States may choose a deal contrary to Israel's interests.

"Although there is little disagreement between Israel and the United States over the war, their ultimate goals diverge," the article says.

Pause and against: Trump is trying to split the Iranian elite

Washington has announced constructive talks with Tehran, although the Islamic Republic denies them.

The Israeli newspaper Ynet reported on March 24 that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi allegedly said during a telephone conversation with Witkoff that Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei had agreed to talks with the United States. An Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Khamenei allegedly made it clear that he "approved the speedy completion of this story if our conditions are met."

On the same day, a member of the Majlis (Parliament of Iran) committee on national security, Yakub Reza-zadeh, said that neither the Iranian authorities nor the Armed Forces had sent any proposals to the United States to declare a ceasefire. In addition, Reza-Zadeh noted that the words of the American leader Donald Trump about the announcement of a five-day truce are related to the control of oil prices on world markets.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry also strongly denied the information about the alleged ongoing negotiations. According to the ministry, peace initiatives come only from the countries of the Middle East, and the statements of the American leader are an attempt to "buy time" for a military operation.
