Iran's Larijani Urges U.S. to Resist Israeli Influence in Nuclear Talks

Ali Larijani, a member of Iran's Expediency Discernment Council, stated on Tuesday that the United States should not permit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to dictate the course of the nuclear negotiations or to appear as if he intends to set the agenda ahead of forthcoming diplomatic efforts.

In comments reported by Iranian media, Larijani highlighted the importance of U.S. awareness regarding what he termed Israel's "destabilizing role," warning against attempts to escalate the nuclear issue in ways that serve foreign agendas.
