Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned the United States to «wake up» and not to embrace Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s new ultraconservative president-elect, as the Western allies seek to restart nuclear disarmament talks with Tehran. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif on Friday said that renegotiation of the Iran Nuclear Deal could occur before Raisi takes power, offering some White House officials hope that President Joe Biden may be able to restart the talks which began under former President Barack Obama in 2015. But Israel’s Bennett cautioned the U.S. against trying to work with any Tehran officials, particularly the incoming Raisi regime of the Islamic Republic government. The Biden administration has reiterated that its focus is on restarting nuclear negotiations with Iran.
