According to Netanyahu, the talks broke down after Iran violated a key understanding to halt hostilities and immediately reopen strategic waterways, including the vital straits.

Netanyahu said the American side could not accept what he described as a blatant breach of the agreement.

He added that Vance emphasized President Trump’s central demand: the complete removal of enriched nuclear material and a long-term guarantee that Iran will not resume uranium enrichment, potentially for decades. Netanyahu stressed that Israel supports Trump’s firm stance, including the proposed naval blockade on Iran.
