Ali Larijani, a member of Iran's Expediency Council, cautioned the United States on Tuesday against permitting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to influence the trajectory of nuclear negotiations or to present himself as the one dictating terms before any forthcoming diplomatic efforts.
In statements reported by Iranian media, Larijani emphasized the importance of Washington remaining alert to what he termed Israel's "destructive role," warning against attempts to steer the nuclear issue towards escalatory paths that align with external agendas.
