Israel demands zero enriched uranium in Iran, denies fundamental disputes with Lebanon
Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called for preventing Iran from enriching uranium on its territory and removing existing enriched materials, while claiming there are “no fundamental disputes” with Lebanon. He blamed Hezbollah for tensions and said the core issue lies with the group’s weapons.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar told a news conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday that Israel will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons and urged the international community to take a clear stance against Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. He called for halting enrichment activities inside Iran and removing existing enriched materials from the country, saying diplomatic efforts have so far not produced results. Saar claimed that the war launched by Israel and the US against Iran on 28 February had “significantly weakened” its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

No Fundamental Disputes with Lebanon

Saar also claimed that there are “no fundamental disagreements between Israel and Lebanon,” asserting that the core issue lies with Hezbollah’s weapons. His remarks came as US‑mediated talks between Lebanon and Israel began in Washington on Tuesday to secure a ceasefire. The talks come despite Israel’s ongoing offensive in Lebanon since 2 March, which has killed 2,124 people, injured 6,921 and displaced more than 1 million, according to Lebanese health authorities.
