Pakistan defence minister says Iran-US deal marks 'political demise of Netanyahu'

Pakistan defence minister says Iran-US deal marks 'political demise of Netanyahu' Pakistan's defence minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has described the emerging agreement between Iran and the United States as a significant setback for Israel, arguing that its successful implementation could have major political consequences for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Asif said Israel was actively seeking to undermine the diplomatic process between Washington and Tehran. The Zionist regime is desperate to derail the peace agreement between the United States and Iran, he said. He added that reaching a comprehensive agreement could lead to the political demise of Netanyahu and potentially expose him to legal consequences. Asif also accused Western governments of supporting Israeli policies in the occupied Palestinian territories and Lebanon, claiming that Israel's allies had enabled actions that have drawn widespread international criticism.
