JERUSALEM — Clearly unsatisfied with assurances from Washington, Israel on Monday listed specific requirements that it said it wanted in any final deal with Iran over that country’s nuclear program.
Whereas Israel’s public diplomacy has so far focused on what many have said is an unrealistic demand for the complete dismantlement of Iran’s potentially military nuclear infrastructure, Yuval Steinitz, Israel’s minister of intelligence and strategic affairs, presented a list of desired modifications for the final agreement, set to be concluded by June 30, that he said would make it “more reasonable.”
Those changes, the Israeli government says, are necessary to close dangerous loopholes in a preliminary framework agreed between Iran and world powers including the United States in Lausanne, Switzerland, last week.
• A significant reduction in the number of centrifuges that can quickly become operational if Iran breaks the agreement and decides to build a bomb.
• The closing of the underground Fordo facility as an enrichment site, even if enrichment activities are suspended there.
• Iranian compliance in revealing its past activities with possible military dimensions
• A commitment to ship its stockpile of enriched uranium out of Iran.
• And the ability for inspectors charged with verifying the agreement to go “anywhere, anytime” in Iran.

Can't be, Diane Feinstein says Israel has no plan.
All the suggested fixes offered by Israel will be discounted.
Not because they are not workable, and in fact would secure the sort of guarantees that Iran would abide by the agreement, but because they are coming from Israel.
And the Current Regime cannot get their vision cleared enough to see the more sane and comprehensive resolution to the problem. They would very much like to continue the issue forever.
It is like juggling live hand grenades with the pins pulled out. Only a matter of time until it all blows up in their faces.
And the lyin’ king laughed and laughed and laughed.
Tis a shame Israel has to deal with third parties, since Iran refuse to recognize their state.
