What Israel wants from an Iran peace deal: No enrichment, missile limits and strict enforcement
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As President Donald Trump signals progress toward a possible agreement with Iran, Israeli officials and analysts increasingly are outlining what Jerusalem believes any deal must include to prevent Tehran from rebuilding its military and regional power.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel and the United States remain in «full coordination» as negotiations continue.
«We share common objectives, and the most important objective is the removal of the enriched material from Iran, all the enriched material, and the dismantling of Iran’s enrichment capabilities,» Netanyahu said at the opening of a security cabinet meeting.

«We’ve had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it’s very possible that we’ll make a deal,» Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Wednesday.
At the same time, Trump warned that if negotiations fail, «we’ll have to go a big step further.»
For Israel, the question is not simply whether the war ends, but whether Iran emerges from negotiations weakened or repositioned to rebuild. Israeli officials fear a weak agreement could allow Tehran to preserve strategic capabilities, regain economic breathing room and eventually restore the regional network of armed groups that threatened Israel before the war. Jerusalem is also seeking guarantees that any future deal preserves military leverage and freedom of action if Iran violates its commitments.
Against that backdrop, Israeli analysts say Jerusalem’s red lines focus on four core areas: dismantling Iran’s enrichment infrastructure, restricting its ballistic missile program, preventing Tehran from rebuilding Hezbollah and Hamas, and ensuring the regime does not gain political legitimacy or strategic relief from the negotiations.
No enrichment, no sunsets
On the nuclear issue, former Israeli National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror said Israel’s position remains uncompromising.
«Weaponized uranium must leave Iran,» Amidror said. «The Iranians must not be allowed to enrich uranium.»
Israeli journalist and commentator Nadav Eyal agreed, adding that Israel is seeking a much stricter framework than previous agreements.
«Israel wants Iran to stop enrichment for as long as possible and for the enriched material to leave Iran,» Eyal said, adding that Jerusalem is looking for «an arms control agreement that would be extensive and robust.»

Avner Golov, vice president of the Mind Israel think tank, told Fox News Digital that Israel also wants Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure dismantled entirely.
«In the nuclear arena, what matters is the removal of the enriched material, the destruction of the underground facilities, including those still being built, and a prohibition on new sites,» Golov said.
Golov also warned against «sunset clauses» that would allow restrictions to expire after several years.
«There must be an agreement without sunsets,» he said, calling for «unprecedented monitoring and supervision, anywhere, under any conditions and not dependent on Iranian approval.»
Jonathan Ruhe, Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) fellow for American strategy, told Fox News Digital, «Ultimately the United States and Israel should have strongly similar redlines for an acceptable deal,» he said, including «shutting down Iran’s nuclear weapons program completely, permanently and verifiably.»
Ruhe said that goes beyond Iran handing over highly enriched uranium and includes shutting down remaining enrichment-related facilities at Pickaxe and Isfahan.

Missiles seen as equal threat
Alongside the nuclear issue, Israeli analysts say Iran’s ballistic missile program has become equally central to Israel’s security concerns.
«One of the key questions is whether there will be any sort of limitation on the ballistic missile program of the Iranians,» Eyal said. «Israel sees this as no less of an existential threat than the nuclear issue.»
Amidror warned that without missile restrictions, the threat could eventually extend beyond Israel and Europe.
«If there are no restrictions on the missile program, then missiles that today can reach half of Europe will, within five to 10 years, be able to reach the United States,» he warned.
Golov argued that a nuclear-only agreement would leave Iran free to rebuild a missile shield protecting a future nuclear breakout.
«A deal that focuses only on the nuclear program would allow the Iranians to produce thousands of missiles and create a protective shield around their nuclear program.»
Ruhe similarly said limiting Iran’s missile arsenal must include preventing Iran from rebuilding production capabilities damaged during the war.

Hamas, Hezbollah and the proxies question
Another major Israeli concern is that sanctions relief or renewed trade could funnel money back to Iran’s regional proxies.
«Israel is demanding that the Islamic Republic isolate itself from involvement with Lebanon and Gaza and stop supporting armed groups that operate against Israel,» Eyal said.
«For Israel, it is a material issue that the money injected into Iran will not be used to rebuild the proxies in the region,» he added.
Amidror said Iran’s ability to support Hezbollah and Hamas has already been weakened by the collapse of regional supply routes.
«The Iranians cannot effectively support the proxies because there is no longer a land bridge from Iran to Syria,» he said, but warned that if negotiations leave the impression that Washington backed down, Iran’s regional proxies could emerge stronger even after the war.
No ‘victory image’ for Tehran
Ruhe similarly argued that Israel wants to avoid any agreement that restores legitimacy to the Iranian regime without fundamentally weakening it.
«Avoiding anything that legitimates Iran’s regime and abandons the Iranian people» is critical, Ruhe said, including «giving guarantees against future attacks or compensating Tehran for wartime damages.»

Ruhe warned that for Israel, a «bad deal» is ultimately any agreement that restrains Israel’s future freedom of action against Iran and its proxies.
«This is one big reason Iran wants to ensnare the Trump administration in open-ended negotiations that sideline military options and create daylight between Washington and Jerusalem,» Ruhe said.

De escasez de remedios a falta de médicos especializados: la vida de los cubanos se complica mientras ven colapsar el sistema de salud
La crisis que atraviesa el sistema de salud en Cuba se refleja en casos como el de Rosa Valentina Pérez, quien lleva casi tres semanas esperando una tomografía computarizada en la principal clínica oncológica de La Habana. La urgencia de su diagnóstico contrasta con la realidad: solo un escáner funciona en la capital y la lista de espera es larga.
“No se pueden imaginar lo que es tener este dolor, saber que tu esperanza de vida se está reduciendo y oírles decir: ‘Veamos cuándo podemos hacer esa tomografía’”, relató Pérez. Su historia ilustra el deterioro de un sistema que durante décadas fue considerado el emblema de la revolución cubana.
Aunque Cuba fue célebre por su atención médica gratuita y de calidad, hoy la sanidad pública está al borde del colapso. Factores como la pandemia, el endurecimiento de sanciones internacionales y una crisis energética agravada por el bloqueo de combustible llevaron la infraestructura hospitalaria a una situación crítica.
En los hospitales cubanos, los cortes de energía y la escasez de medicamentos son el pan de cada día. A esto se suman el éxodo de profesionales hacia el exterior y la obsolescencia de los equipos médicos, lo que deja áreas prioritarias como oncología, cardiología y nefrología al límite de sus capacidades.
El director del Instituto Nacional de Oncología y Radiobiología, Luis Eduardo Martín, expuso la magnitud del problema: “El 80% de los equipos utilizados en diagnóstico y tratamiento están obsoletos o averiados”. Este déficit tecnológico obliga a los médicos a “administrar medicamentos sin poder verificar en ocasiones que estén teniendo el efecto que esperamos… porque no contamos con los reactivos ni el equipo para controlarlos”.
La lista de espera para acceder a la radioterapia en el INOR supera los 1.200 pacientes. El relato de Pérez a la agencia AFP, quien tras una cirugía de cáncer de mama necesita saber si la enfermedad avanzó o no, se repite entre quienes enfrentan el drama de la demora diagnóstica.
La situación actual en el sistema de salud cubano es insostenible: la falta de recursos, equipos dañados y la escasez de personal también provocaron que los tratamientos y diagnósticos se ralenticen o se limiten, poniendo en riesgo la vida de miles de pacientes. El deterioro afecta tanto a adultos como a niños, y las soluciones improvisadas rara vez bastan para evitar consecuencias graves.
La crisis no distingue edades. Según datos oficiales, la supervivencia al cáncer infantil cayó del 85% al 65% en pocos años. “Es muy frustrante saber que puedes salvar al niño, lograr una mayor tasa de supervivencia, y no puedes hacerlo porque tienes las manos atadas”, lamentó Mariuska Forteza, jefa de oncología pediátrica del INOR.
La falta de reactivos y combustible para transportar muestras entre hospitales obligó a recortar análisis sanguíneos esenciales. A pesar de la adversidad, los técnicos intentan mantener los equipos en funcionamiento. “A veces tengo que venir al hospital a medianoche o a las 2 de la madrugada para reparar equipos para que el paciente pueda comenzar su tratamiento”, contó Alexis Amado Domínguez, técnico de reparaciones.
En el Instituto Nacional de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular, el número de operaciones cardíacas anuales cayó de más de 400 a apenas 100, según el médico José Esteban Abreu. Unos 130 pacientes esperan la implantación de un marcapasos, mientras el personal recurre al canibalismo de piezas para mantener algunos equipos activos.
“Siempre estamos inventando, trabajando, innovando”, dijo el técnico Luis Alexis Duncan, mostrando equipos desmantelados que esperan ser reparados en el taller que atiende el 80% del equipamiento médico de la ciudad.
La inventiva cubana, aunque legendaria, no alcanza para sortear todas las limitaciones. Incubadoras y respiradores neonatales defectuosos se acumulan en los talleres, mientras el éxodo de médicos y enfermeros agrava una situación ya crítica. Los salarios estatales, pagados en pesos muy devaluados, no alcanzan para retener al personal sanitario.
En la unidad de diálisis del Hospital Hermanos Ameijeiras, la jefa de nefrología Iamara Castro admitió que debieron reducir las sesiones de cuatro a dos horas para atender a más pacientes. “Cuando se acorta el período de hemodiálisis, se acorta la vida”, señaló con gravedad, subrayando que el servicio se sostiene por la pura “compasión”.
Nelson Companioni, paciente de 81 años, describió su temor a que los equipos fallen antes de terminar su tratamiento. “Se ve a las enfermeras arrodilladas allí, golpeándolo para que funcione”, relató sobre la escena habitual en el hospital.

Omar’s disclosures erased millions, leaving her with potential negative net worth. She won’t explain why
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., refused to address her revised financial disclosures that could imply she has a negative net worth after the progressive lawmaker dramatically reduced the reported value of assets tied to her husband’s business ventures.
«Can you tell us if your husband still has the consulting business and the wine business?» Fox News Digital asked Omar.
The congresswoman stayed silent as she was repeatedly questioned, after previously telling Fox News Digital that the original filing — showing Omar’s reported assets reducing by as much as $29.9 million — was inaccurate and «incomplete» information.
ILHAN OMAR’S OFFICE SAYS SHE’S ‘NOT A MILLIONAIRE’ AFTER $30M FILING REVISED DOWN TO UNDER $100K: REPORT

The controversy surrounding Omar’s finances began when a 2024 financial report estimated that Omar and her husband possessed between $6 million and $30 million in assets, all while the Minnesota fraud scandal within the Somali community was beginning to come to fruition.
A more recent 2025 financial disclosure report shows Omar’s revised value of shared assets between her and husband to sit at a maximum of $125,000 — a multimillion-dollar drop from the year prior. The lower estimate of their assets, $20,000, compared to the low and high debt estimates, $30,000 and $100,000, would imply the Minnesota Democrat could have a negative net worth.
Both she and her husband have separate debts, each ranging somewhere between $15,000 and $50,000 — from her own student loans and her husband’s credit card debt, according to the disclosures.

The biggest change in the documents involved Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett. His reported ownership interests in both his winery and venture capital advisory firm, which were previously valued in the millions of dollars, are listed with no value now.
In Omar’s 2024 financial disclosure records, Mynett’s share in his winery was valued between $1 million and $5 million, and his share at the venture capital advisory firm was valued between $5 million and $25 million. Now, his equity interests are both listed at $0.
Omar’s office previously told Fox News Digital that Mynett has partners in both businesses and said the earlier disclosure mistakenly reflected the businesses’ total equity rather than his ownership interest. The office also said the original filing listed assets without accounting for liabilities.
VANCE REFERS TIM WALZ, MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL TO DOJ FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OVER STATE’S ALLEGED FRAUD
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has publicly voiced his interest in the Ethics Committee opening an investigation into Omar’s personal finances after the 2025 financial reports came out showing the possibility of a $29 million drop in her net worth.
Vice President JD Vance also has said the U.S. Department of Justice will be opening a probe into her alleged fraud as part of the administration’s anti-fraud taskforce that he spearheads, though no formal investigations have been shared with the public at this time.
Omar has been reluctant to answer Fox News Digital’s questions about her financial fallout and potential probes to be opened against her.
The Minnesota lawmaker similarly dodged answering any of Fox News Digital’s questions just last month about the revised disclosures.

«There’s also the possibility that it might rain on this sunny day,» Omar replied without responding directly to the content of the question.
