Haaretz newspaper quoted an Israeli official - whom it described as a great one - as saying that Israel can no longer influence the content and spirit of the nuclear agreement that the great powers and the United States of America are working to conclude with Iran.

According to this official - who was described by the newspaper as familiar with the contacts that Israel has made with the United States, Russia and other great countries - Tel Aviv no longer has the ability to influence the terms of the nuclear agreement that is being discussed in the Austrian capital, Vienna.

It quoted him as saying that there are two possibilities before the nuclear talks;

Either return to the original nuclear agreement or not, and there is no other choice but to do so.

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett chaired a special meeting to discuss developments in the ongoing nuclear talks in Vienna, where Israel has been active in recent months on several fronts to pressure Iran and persuade the United States to impose more sanctions on it.

Bushehr Station

In a parallel context, the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran has resumed work and was reconnected to the national electricity grid after nearly two weeks of suspension due to a "technical failure", according to its head, Mahmoud Jafari, on Sunday night.

And the Iranian news agency "ISNA" quoted Jafari, who is also the deputy head of the Iranian organization, as confirming that the malfunction "was fixed thanks to the efforts of experts and workers at the station."

He pointed out that Bushehr - which has a capacity of 1,000 megawatts - was reconnected to the national electricity network and "energy production has been resumed as of Sunday (yesterday) after ensuring the safety of the plant's operation."

On June 20, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization - which supervises the plant - announced that it had stopped working temporarily due to what it said was a "technical malfunction".

Technical error

While the organization did not provide details about the nature of this malfunction, it explained - in a separate statement two days later - that it is related to the "electric generator" at the station.

And Bushehr is the only nuclear power plant in Iran, located on the coast of the Gulf in an area often witnessing seismic activity and earthquakes.

In response to a question about the station's stopping at the time, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh confirmed that the step was pre-planned.

He explained that the station will go out of "the network for a few days due to a technical malfunction or technical issues," adding that "this is a routine matter for nuclear plants and it happens once or twice a year."

Russia built the plant on the Gulf coast, which is equipped with a 1,000-megawatt reactor, which entered service in 2013.

The stoppage of the station came at a time when talks were taking place in Vienna between Iran and major international powers regarding the agreement on Tehran's nuclear program, aiming to revive it after the United States withdrew from it in 2018.
