How is the Israeli lobby in Washington preparing to block the nuclear agreement with Iran?

The Israeli lobby in Washington is seeking to block the signing of a new nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran, with talk of a deal imminent, while Israeli officials resorted to the media to announce their reservations and attack President Joe Biden and his aides.

With the United States and Iran close to signing a new nuclear agreement, the Israel lobby in Washington is preparing for an intense campaign in Washington to disrupt the agreement, similar to the campaign around the original agreement in 2015, according to Politico.

In an extensive report on the battle of "friends and foes" in the American capital over the agreement, the magazine expected that the noise would increase in the next few days, especially if negotiators in Vienna were able to agree on terms after months of talks, noting that the uproar would extend from selective media leaks to Buying ads, writing letters, and more.

The White House has announced that it is ready to fight to defend the potential agreement, especially against Republican critics, but many analysts believe the real uproar will come from Israel and Jewish lobbyists in the United States.

Reportedly, Israel will send its national security adviser to Washington days later to inform the White House about the usual concerns about the deal, and the magazine noted that officials are using the media to publicize their reservations and attack President Joe Biden and his aides.

Israeli officials in US media have questioned whether Biden and his team are fully aware of what they see as "concessions" in the proposed roadmap for restoring the 2015 Joint Action Plan.

The magazine noted that it is this kind of insinuation that angers many and attracts their attention from officials in the White House, and therefore the Biden administration repeated statements denying the existence of any new concessions.

A White House official said that the administration has extensive and continuous discussions with the Israelis about Iran, with well-known assurances that the US administration is committed to Israel's security, and that "there is no supporter of Israel more than Joe Biden."

Despite the upcoming campaign, the magazine believes that Israel will be less openly hostile compared to what happened seven years ago, when then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint meeting of Congress in an attempt to nullify the deal.
