Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has criticized an emerging agreement between the United States and Iran. He described it as a strategic failure for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Lapid argued that the agreement would leave Iran's political leadership in power. He said it would preserve the country's missile program. Lapid added that the deal would allow Iran to rebuild its nuclear capabilities in the future.

The comments were made as US President Donald Trump indicated that the agreement could be signed on Sunday. Trump said the deal would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Iranian officials, including Abbas Araghchi, have not confirmed a final agreement. They have stressed that the draft is still under review in Tehran.

The proposed agreement aims to end the conflict between the United States and Iran. It seeks to reduce regional tensions. The deal also intends to restore navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

Lapid made his remarks in a post on the social media platform X.

Reliability assessment

Single source provides direct on-record attributions from named public figures (Yair Lapid, Donald Trump, Abbas Araghchi) making verifiable statements about their positions; core claims concern what these officials said rather than unconfirmed events.

The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Khaama Press: "sharply criticised", "complete failure by Netanyahu", "failing to transform military achievements into long-term strategic gains" — these phrases introduce opinionated judgment and emotional framing into the reporting of political criticism.
