Sunday, US Vice President Joe Biden spoke with the leaders of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom to discuss the Iran nuclear deal negotiations, as talks between Tehran and Western powers appeared to be progressing.

The White House stated that Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson discussed "the need to strengthen support for partners in the Middle East region."

During the call, Biden and his counterparts discussed "joint efforts to deter and limit Iran's destabilizing regional activities," according to the White House. The United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom were all signatories to the Iran nuclear deal of 2015, commonly known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA.

Israel is concerned about the ongoing talks aimed at renewing the pact, and according to recent reports, the United States has attempted to allay Jerusalem's concerns about a potential agreement.

On Saturday, the Walla news site said senior US officials briefed Israel's leadership that a new nuclear agreement is not near and that Washington has not agreed to any fresh concessions to Iran to secure an arrangement.

However, according to the source, such messages have not alleviated Jerusalem. In recent days, senior Israeli officials have been quoted as suggesting that communication between Israel and the United States has grown "difficult."

"We are not at peace," stated an Israeli official. In contrast, we are concerned.

After a senior US official revealed to The Times of Israel that Iran had waived its "red line" demand that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps be removed from a terror blocklist as part of an agreement, the remarks were made.

Saturday, an unnamed Israeli official told the news website Ynet that Jerusalem hoped the negotiations would not result in a final deal. The official also said that if the agreement were renewed, it would "prove" that former US president Donald Trump's exit from the accord in 2018 was a mistake "without a plan B."

For months, the parties negotiating the agreement were gloomy about the likelihood of a breakthrough. However, in recent weeks, there have been reports of progress.

Despite the agreement being "closer than it was two weeks ago," the outcome is still unknown because specific gaps remain. A US official told CNN that President Biden would only approve a deal that fits our national security needs.

Next week, National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata will travel to Washington, DC, to talk with US officials about Iran's nuclear program.

In 2015, Iran reached a nuclear deal with the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, and China. Iran agreed to curtail its uranium enrichment under the supervision of United Nations inspectors in exchange for sanctions relief.

In 2018, Trump withdrew the United States from the accord and pledged to negotiate a stronger deal, but he never did. A year later, Iran began violating the provisions of the agreement.

The EU-coordinated efforts to revive the agreement commenced in April 2021, stalled in March, then resumed in August. The Biden administration has repeatedly stated that it feels diplomacy is the most effective means of resolving the situation.

According to reports, Israel has conducted sabotage operations within the Islamic Republic to thwart the development of such a weapon. Israel believes Iran intends to build a nuclear bomb, has published intelligence it claims reveals the Iranian weapons program, and has reportedly conducted sabotage operations within the Islamic Republic to thwart the development of such a weapon.

Iran has denied any sinister motive and asserted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, despite enriching uranium to levels that foreign officials say have no civil application.
