Israel, Iran, the US and Russia are engaged in secret talks for Israel’s acceptance of Iran as a nuclear threshold power in return for a US-Russian guarantee that Tehran will not cross the threshold to make a nuclear bomb.
Kremlin sources say that reports of a forthcoming summit between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, possibly on Oct. 22, attest to those talks making progress towards a deal.
A strong clue to this secret ploy also came from Washington. Last week, an Israeli delegation led by National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata met with his US counterpart Jack Sullivan for what was officially billed as a discussion of Plan B, should President Joe Biden’s bid to revive the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran fail.
This presentation was meant to distract from the secret track afoot brokered by the two big powers on the Iranian nuclear issue.
Straight after the two security advisers ended their talks, Secretary of State Antony Blinken was on the phone to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. He next called Israeli FM Yair Lapid and arranged for them to meet in Washington next week.
DEBKAfile draws three conclusions from these interchanges:
- Russia is for the first time (since the original 2015 nuclear accord) joining the US in an intensive round of secret talks for resolving the Iranian nuclear issue by diplomacy.
- Moscow, although Iran’s leading nuclear power provider, is amenable to a mediation effort for bridging the nuclear dispute between Tehran and Jerusalem.
- Putin agrees to join the Biden administration in guarantees that would bar Iran from going past the threshold to actually develop a nuclear weapon. Moscow would further guarantee Iran’s honoring of the new accord, on which Moscow, Washington, Iran – and Israel, too, this time round – are toiling.
If this move goes according to plan and Tehran refrains from heaping up unexpected obstacles, a new nuclear accord may be in the making.
By late October or early November, it may have matured ready for Iran and the original six powers (US, Russia, China, France, Germany and the EU) to affix their signatures, certified for the first time by Israel.
It may be premature to assess the regional implications of this deal should it comes to fruition. However, the Bennett-Lapid government appears to be willing to back down on Israel’s most fundamental policy objective, namely, never to allow Iran to reach the point of a nuclear threshold power.
It would also mean that Israel may be finally satisfied with a joint US-Russian guarantee against Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon.
That this secret diplomatic track is alive was hinted at by certain nuances in Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Avivi Kohavi’s words on Oct. 5, during the ceremony marking the changeover of intelligence (AMAN) chiefs.
“Preparations for destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities will continue in every arena and at all times,” said Gen. Kohavi. “Those preparations continue to develop and improve.”
He went on to stress: “In case of any circumstances that may arise, we are bound to stand ready with an effective and timely military answer.”
The army chief’s words were couched in conditional terms and the future tense, indicating that Israel’s “preparations” were advancing but not at this point ready to go.
While Kohavi made it clear to Tehran that Israel’s military plans were firmly in place for any eventualities, he refrained from language that might spoil the diplomatic game.

Israel is a biggest traitor to allies. She goes with the strongest one, always. Steals secrets and ALWAYS cates only about herself
That’s all good but for one thing: God alone controls the kingdom of men (Dan 4:17) and the bible clearly tells us that the “Medes” will destroy Jerusalem. The Medes became Elam or visa versa (can’t remember) who then became Persia which became Iran which became Islam Republic of Iran. I know for certain from reading and studying/dissecting the scriptures, that God will indeed have Jerusalem, a once righteous nation but now of murderers and is the destroying city/kingdom and is now spiritually known as Sodom (sexual perversions) and Egypt (mysticism via the Babylonian Talmud which is the book which is the curse of the world in Zech chapter five.) Jerusalem will be destroyed and made desolate. God does not lie.
Could be that the one and only injection used in Israel,Pfizer , will manage that for God .They can’t seem to get a handle on it ,on to what the third or fourth jab now ?
So israel gets weapons of mass destruction [ and proven to be aggressors on settlements] and Iran is to use sticks and stones…sounds fair to me in a alternate reality of israeli dominance like hunger games sorta way…
….plan b back to drawing board…👎

How sweet of cuddly little Israel to offer this concession to Iran when Israel has for many decades threatened mass death and irradiation on the Middle East from its own nuclear arsenal. This CND member says Iran can have as many nuclear warheads as it likes so long as the USA, UK, Israel et al keep theirs.
Which god might that be, Mr Fife? Humans have created so many, I get confused. As for Sodom’s sin, it applies to Israel and the USA:
“Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.”
Ezekiel 16:49
If whichever man-made deity you foolishly worship were so powerful, I doubt it would have allowed, say, thousands of children to be incinerated by nuclear attack from the USA in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Or were their deaths part of your god’s unknowable plan? Your god is either powerless or evil beyond human comprehension.
