Iran's Larijani Warns US Against Netanyahu's Influence on Nuclear Talks

Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned against the influence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Iran-US nuclear negotiations and urged the United States to act with vigilance.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Feb. 10, Larijani noted that Netanyahu was preparing to travel to Washington and cautioned that the US should not allow him to affect the framework of the nuclear talks through political and propaganda efforts.
Larijani emphasized in an interview with Oman Television that the negotiations between Iran and the US are strictly limited to the nuclear issue, with Tehran engaging in no discussions on other matters.
He added that the upcoming phase could involve political realignments, creating opportunities to reduce strategic tensions, provided the talks remain realistic and based on clear principles.
Previously, Larijani met with Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq in Muscat to discuss the latest developments in the US negotiations and ways to reach a fair agreement.
