Netanyahu vows removal of Iranian enriched uranium via agreement or renewed conflict

"The new event explicitly rejects the diplomatic outcome reported in Event 11 (agreement on enriched uranium transfer), asserting that the stockpile must be eliminated rather than transferred, thereby escalating the diplomatic stalemate."
"Netanyahu's statement undermines the purpose of the US negotiating team deployed in Event 1 by declaring that diplomatic agreements are insufficient unless they result in the total removal of uranium, threatening to derail the ongoing talks."
