What was said

"At the outset, and this is somewhat sensitive information, everyone agreed to the idea of letting Russia help with the reprocessing, getting it out of Iran. Everyone agreed, representatives of the United States agreed, Representatives of Iran agreed. Representatives of Israel agreed. Then the next day, the US said, no, no, we have to take all that highly enriched uranium."

In a post-parade press conference, Vladimir Putin disclosed previously classified details of JCPOA negotiations, revealing that Israel had initially agreed to Russia reprocessing Iranian enriched uranium before the US reversed its position overnight. Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst, relayed Putin's account on Judge Napolitano's show, suggesting Netanyahu later intervened to block the deal. This revelation contradicts public narratives that Israel categorically opposed Iranian nuclear cooperation frameworks.
