Against the background of the reports about the signing of a new nuclear agreement between the US and Europe and Iran, a political official who spoke to "Israel Today" cooled the spirits and said that "We estimate that the process will continue for many more weeks - and even then it is not at all certain that there will be an agreement.
However, the ground is currently not very stable, so Israel is preparing for any scenario."
The source confirmed that "there is a change in Iranian behavior and it is significant - it is evident that the leadership in Tehran is preparing their hearts for the possibility of an agreement and for the fact that it will include any concessions on some of the initial demands put forward by Iran. This is an unusual thing that we have not seen until today."

The source also added implicit criticism of Washington's conduct in the negotiations, saying that "the Americans are taking an approach of carrots only, without sticks." According to him, "the Iranians are demanding financial guarantees that the US will not withdraw from the agreement again, as President Trump did, but the US "B is not expected to comply with this demand." The main Iranian concern is not an American withdrawal during the Biden era, but a withdrawal initiated by the president who will come after him.
"Germany is a very important ally of ours"
Meanwhile, "Israel Hayom" learned that Prime Minister Lapid will go on a state visit to Germany on September 12 (insert link).
It was recently announced that against the background of the new geo-strategic situation in Europe following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Germany is interested in purchasing the "Hatz" interception system from Israel.
Coming soon to Germany.

"Germany is a very important ally of ours and she can get almost everything she wants from us," said the political source.
"There are many other countries that are interested in Israel's defensive capabilities and we carefully examine each request, out of a desire to help friendly countries. However, we are cautious about knowledge leakage."
Apparently, the complex negotiations with Germany on the sale of the Arrow are expected to continue for a few more weeks at least. According to what is known, Finland and Sweden, which are about to join NATO despite Russia's protests, have also expressed interest in the system.
