Israeli Officials Plan Delegation to Washington on Iran Nuclear Issue

Israeli officials stated they will dispatch a delegation to Washington to outline security interests concerning the Iranian nuclear file. The announcement came after an agreement between the United States and Iran. Officials noted that Israel was not a party to the agreement.

Background on the Agreement Israeli officials said the decision does not alter their independent security concerns. They added that the nuclear issue remains a central focus. The delegation is intended to explain those interests directly to U.S. counterparts.

"We said from the very beginning that we were not a party to the agreement between the United States and Iran. But that does not mean we do not have interests. We have our own interests, and we will make them known. That is also true regarding the central issue, the nuclear issue.

" Officials confirmed the delegation will address both general security matters and the nuclear file specifically. The timing of the visit has not been disclosed.
