Tensions are escalating in the Middle East as Israel lays down firm red lines ahead of high-stakes U.S.–Iran talks expected to take place in Turkey. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that a nuclear-only deal with Tehran is unacceptable, demanding zero uranium enrichment and the removal of all enriched material from Iran. Israel fears Washington could ignore Iran’s ballistic missile program and its regional proxy forces, which Israeli officials describe as existential threats.

As U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff arrives in Israel to consult with Netanyahu, the IDF chief, and the Mossad head, Iran has threatened sharp retaliation if Israel sabotages negotiations. With a massive U.S. naval buildup signaling that military options remain on the table, questions are growing over whether diplomacy can prevent a wider regional confrontation.
