Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his position on the future of the JCPOA during separate phone calls with the leaders of Britain, Australia, and India, seeking their support. According to Reuters and Israeli media, Netanyahu made these calls on Friday, May 4. Reports indicate that the Israeli Prime Minister spoke with UK Prime Minister Theresa May, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Netanyahu had recently met with the leaders of all three countries. According to the Jerusalem Post, in addition to updating the three leaders, Netanyahu discussed over one hundred thousand pages of confidential Iranian nuclear documents recently acquired by Israel and raised regional issues related to Iran, issuing a 'warning.' On Monday, May 1, during a press conference at his country's Ministry of Defense, Netanyahu presented documents of Iran's nuclear program that, according to Israel, were obtained from Iran in February and immediately transferred to Israel, stating that these documents 'unequivocally prove' that the primary goal of Iran's nuclear plans was to produce a nuclear bomb and equip long-range ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. He expressed hope that the U.S. and the international community would make the 'right decision' regarding the JCPOA in the coming days. The Israeli Prime Minister stated that his country has never accepted the nuclear agreement with Iran and the world powers and demands the cancellation or complete alteration of the JCPOA; Israel also seeks to limit the range of Iran's missiles to three hundred kilometers and cut Iran's influence in the region, especially in Syria. The International Atomic Energy Agency and European countries emphasized that the recently revealed documents by Israel pertain to the nature of Iran's past nuclear plans and do not constitute a violation of the JCPOA. Netanyahu's efforts to gain international support for his country's stance on the JCPOA have intensified ahead of May 12, when U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to announce his decision. In recent days, Iran has emphasized that the JCPOA is neither negotiable nor will it enter negotiations for a supplementary agreement on other issues.
