## Executive Summary
Nuclear experts warn Trump: Iran must not steer nuclear talks away from its atomic threat.

## Intelligence Brief
The experts’ warning arrives as the United States prepares to re‑engage Tehran on a possible deal, positioning the nuclear question as the central bargaining chip in the diplomatic push. The plea underscores the perception that Tehran could use the talks to dilute scrutiny of its weapons program. Israeli media cite an alleged vow by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps chief to develop nuclear weapons, a claim echoed by Ynetnews and ANI News. The same outlets note that the IRGC chief reportedly confirmed Iran’s ongoing pursuit of a nuclear capability.


Parallel coverage on TV7 Israel News and the Jewish Press links the nuclear issue to recent Israeli military actions in Gaza and strategic concerns over the Strait of Hormuz. The stakes extend beyond Washington. Regional shipping lanes through Hormuz, a lifeline for global oil, are flagged by The Jewish Press as vulnerable to escalation. U.S. policymakers, represented by the Trump team, must balance diplomatic engagement with preventing a shift that could embolden Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.


Upcoming negotiations in the coming weeks will test whether the Trump administration accepts the experts’ counsel. Fox News and other outlets anticipate statements from the White House on the parameters of any Iran deal. Observers will watch for Israeli government responses, especially any adjustments to its security posture in Gaza and the Hormuz corridor, as the region gauges the impact of Tehran’s nuclear trajectory on diplomatic and military calculations.
