Bin Salman: ‘Help us take control of Middle East so that we can normalize with Israel’
Picture
Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammad Bin Salman in Saudi Arabia on 1 June 2019

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has vowed to recognise and normalise trade with Israel if the United States helps him “defeat Iran and take control of the Middle East.”

These statements, which were revealed by a documentary presented by PBS network, on Saturday, in the TV programme Frontline, were made by Bin Salman in a meeting with US President Donald Trump during his famous visit to Riyadh in May 2017.

Martin Smith, the presenter of the documentary, entitled The Crown Prince, said that Mohammad bin Salman wanted Trump to ensure “the United States’ assistance in defeating Iran while supporting the prince’s ambitions to become the key player in the Middle East.”

In return, Bin Salman pledged to help Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, in Smith’s words, which was the nucleus of what later formed the US plan to settle the Palestinian issue, known as the “Deal of the Century.”

The documentary featured the Washington Post’s military analyst David Ignatius quoting the Saudi Crown Prince, who stated: “I see a Middle East where Israel is a part of … I am ready to recognise and have trade relations with Israel.”

Ignatius added that Bin Salman’s proposal “tempted the US administration and became the focus of the plan that Kushner keeps on advocating”.

Israeli-Saudi relations have undergone a close rapprochement since the rise of Bin Salman to power, amid reports of a meeting held earlier by Bin Salman, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and other Gulf officials, on a yacht in the Red Sea.

Last June, a Saudi diplomat told Globes that normalising relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel would only be “a matter of time”, acknowledging the existence of Secret Israeli-Saudi ties and that Saudi Arabia is using Israeli technologies.

Despite the Saudi diplomat’s assertion of his country’s commitment to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, as during Abbas’s recent meeting with King Salman, the latter reiterated his support for the process of hindering any peace paths that may bring detrimental consequences upon the Palestinian leadership. However, the diplomat acknowledged that King Salman and the Crown Prince were putting pressure on Abbas “to take the political and economic developments seriously.”

Although Saudi Arabia’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Adel Al-Jubeir, said that his country is not familiar with the details of the US plan to settle the Palestinian issue, known as the “Deal of the Century”, the Saudi diplomat indicated that the deal has one significant advantage, as “it includes an inclusive economic strategy for the development of the entire region, and especially Palestine”.

Al-Jubeir expressed his country’s readiness to invest large sums in the deal, “which Palestinians did not dream of getting before.” Thus, he promoted for numerous temptations advanced by the US, such as the claim that the money would achieve “real independence, good education, and self-sufficient health and industry sectors for the Palestinians.”

IAEA acting chief praises 'substantive' talks with Tehran
The International Atomic Energy Agency’s Acting Director General Cornel Feruta presents the Agency’s Board of Governors with his latest reports on Iran a day after meeting top Iranian diplomats in Tehran.

The agency has verified that Iran has installed and will be installing advanced IR-4 and IR-6 centrifuges at the Natanz enrichment plant where they will be ready to be tested with uranium, a process that will increase Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium even further beyond the limits set by the nuclear deal known as the JCPOA.

Iran has also increased the level of enrichment from the 3.67 limit to 4.5 percent and is preparing to install a higher number of advanced centrifuges for research and development purposes as a third step in stopping the
implementation of parts of its commitments under the nuclear deal.

Iran says the measures it has taken so far can be reversed once the European signatories to the deal effectively make up for the US’s withdrawal by guaranteeing Tehran’s economic benefits particularly when it comes to the country’s oil sales.

Iran’s envoy to the IAEA rejected reports of any secret nuclear activities in reference to accusations brought up by Israel saying any attempt to disrupt constructive cooperation between Iran and the IAEA and to impose pressure on the agency would face appropriate measures by Tehran.

Feruta described his talks with senior Iranian officials in Tehran as very substantive.

Feruta said the role of the agency is only to provide facts and not to judge, adding it’s essential for the IAEA to maintain its credibility.

Iran dismisses Netanyahu secret site claim: The possessor of real nukes cries wolf
Picture
Zarif says prime minister and his team 'just want a war' and posts images of 1986 British report on Israeli atomic program, but does not offer explanation for site mentioned by PM

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday dismissed claims by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day that Iran had been working on nuclear weapons development at a secret site which it demolished when it realized Israel had uncovered the location.

"The possessor of REAL nukes cries wolf on an ALLEGED 'demolished' site in Iran," Zarif wrote on Twitter, referring to Israel's never formally acknowledged nuclear weapons program.

Zarif also published images from a 1986 Sunday Times report exposing Israel's nuclear activities.
 
"He & #B_Team just want a war, no matter innocent blood & another $7 TRILLION," the Iranian foreign minister wrote.
 
Zarif did not address what the Iranian site was, nor why it appeared to be demolished in Netanyahu's presentation. 

Speaking at a press conference from Jerusalem earlier Monday, Netanyahu displayed a satellite photo of the facility taken in June, followed by a second photo of what he said was the site being destroyed in July.
 
It was the first time that Netanyahu had identified the site, which, he said, was discovered in a trove of Iranian documents Israel previously obtained and released publicly last year.

"Today, we reveal that yet another secret nuclear site was exposed in the archives that we brought from Tehran. In this site, Iran conducted experiments to develop nuclear weapons. This is the site near Abadeh, south of Isfahan," he said.

Netanyahu, a fierce critic of the international nuclear deal with Iran, maintains Tehran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon -- a charge Iran denies.

"This is what I have to say to the tyrants of Tehran: Israel knows what you're doing, Israel knows when you're doing it and Israel knows where you're doing it. We will continue to expose your lies. What we see is a consistent pattern of Iranian lies, deception and violations," Netanyahu said.

The revelation earned the prime minister criticism at home, with Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz accusing Netanyahu of politicizing sensitive intelligence ahead of next Tuesday's elections in Israel. 
 
Netanyahu was using "sensitive security information for propaganda purposes," said the former army chief, whose party is neck and neck with Netanyahu's Likud in the polls.
 
Gantz said that the prime minister had shown "poor judgment" in releasing the information.

Senior Israeli security source confirms strikes on Syria, other targets in recent days

Unnamed official says Israel's focus is now on preventing Iranian precision missiles reaching Lebanon and Syria, casts doubt on American willingness to 'buy what Rouhani selling'

A senior Israeli security source says that the defense establishment system has shifted its strategic focus to averting the threat of precise missiles that Iran is trying to introduce into Syria and Lebanon.

"In recent days, we have attacked on several fronts. We also carried out simultaneous attacks in Syria and other arenas," the senior official said on Monday.

"There was also a certain development in Lebanon, which according to foreign publications was attributed to Israel. There was a need to take action in several arenas within a 24-hour window, and we planned accordingly."
 
According to the same source, Israel acted "as precisely in as many arenas as we planned, including in that possible enemy reactions. We are prepared for war but do not need it, as the event we carried out in Lebanon proved."

The source also touched on the apparently imminent rapprochement between the U.S. and Iran and the plans to hold talks on the issue of Iranian nuclear ambitions.
 
"We have an ongoing relationship with the Americans, and I think they have no illusions about (Iranian President Hassan) Rouhani," the source said.
 
"I don't see them buying what he is selling, nor (Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad) Zarif. Will they talk? Perhaps. I believe the talks will take place in a different way from the previous talks, which is what I am hearing from everyone at all levels."
 
Strategic change

Israel has redefined its priorities regarding the threats it currently faces. The Iranian nuclear threat is still one of the top priorities of the defense establishment, and in third place is the Iranian attempt to entrench itself in the region, in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.

The senior security source said in a conversation with military reporters that "in light of developments and situation assessments, it was decided three months ago that the precision missile project would be given high priority because of the immediate danger it poses. The military echelons were informed of this decision." 
 
He added: "We cannot afford to be surrounded by thousands of precision missiles that could land and harm the State of Israel."
 
The senior official noted that in the past six months, the issue has been discussed by the cabinet with the upper echelons of the defense establishment, and the ensuing guidelines were passed on to various officials and the IDF.

"Our three targets have one address - Iran," the source said.
 
"The address for two of the three threats is the same - the commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guard, Qasem Suleimani," the source said, but declined to answer a question on how Israel would deal with Suleimani.

In recent months, the defense establishment has been making efforts in the diplomatic and defense spheres to prevent the threats coming from Tehran.
 
"We operate in all spheres – on the diplomatic, security, counterterrorism and intelligence levels," the official said.
 
"What you see in practice is just the tip of the iceberg. There are ma y activities, most of which are connected to the IDF and the Mossad (external security service), for dealing with these issues.

"We work with a combination of determination and responsibility from a complete strategic perspective. It is the political level that determines which threats the State of Israel faces, and the military accepts missions according to priority."
 
Nasrallah asked for a ceasefire

The security source also touched on the IDF strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday after Hezbollah fired anti-tank missiles across the border, saying that three countries - France, Egypt and the United States – asking Israel to bring an end the incident.

Hezbollah leader Hassan "Nasrallah via (Lebanese PM Saad) Hariri appealed to other countries that then asked Israel to end the incident. This has to be said because the man in the shelter is continuing to give speeches, and he obviously just wanted to come out of this with some respect.
 
"From my perspective, it does not bother me as long as Israel advances its objectives. Even Hariri understands that his country is under threat if Nasrallah continues to operate from Lebanese territory. We are exploring our options and will make decisions based on developments. We are dealing with all arenas and achieving our goals."
 
The official noted that the Russians had not intervened in recent events in Lebanon, and received updates throughout the incident.
 
"I had a conversation with French President (Emmanuel) Macron, and told him that inviting Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif to the (G7) conference in France on the day Iran conducts simultaneous attacks against us – and where he was embraced - highlights the absurdity of the European attitude toward Iran," the source said.
 
Regarding the relationship and coordination between Israel and the U.S. after an attack in Iraq attributed by foreign outlets to Israel, the source said: Israel is in constant contact with Americans, almost on a daily basis."
 
There are talks with Secretary of State (Mike) Pompeo on the diplomatic and security levels all the time. We are coordinating with them both on the diplomatic and military levels."
