Most Iranian media outlets appear to understand the significance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trip to the United States to speak in front of congress today and warn American politicians against signing a nuclear deal with Iran. Many of Iran's media organizations have attempted to cover the controversy surrounding the speech, the White House’s disapproval of the event and point out that some senators will not attend Netanyahu’s speech out of protest.

However, hard-line Kayhan, whose editor is chosen by the supreme leader, has stood firm on its opposition to a nuclear deal between Iran and the UN Security Council and views the Netanyahu speech and the controversy around it as a ploy to get Iran to sign a bad deal.

Kayhan’s top story today, headlined “Netanyahu’s mission to support the Geneva agreement under the guise of opposition,” reported that the United States and Israel have engaged in what's called a “jeweler’s war,” which in Persian is when two sides work together to fake a conflict, in order to force Iran’s nuclear negotiators to make an “incorrect calculation” in the nuclear talks.

According to Kayhan, Israel’s opposition to the Geneva interim nuclear deal was “political maneuvering” to allow the United States to force Iran into more concessions, and now claims Netanyahu’s opposition to a nuclear deal is also intended to “deceive the Iranian team.”
