Israel doubts US optimism in Iran talks as critical issues on nuclear concessions remain unsolved

 https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-895606

While US officials express optimism over a potential deal, Israel remains cautious, stressing that significant differences between the US and Iran still persist.

Senior Israeli officials state that significant gaps still exist between the US and Iran, with the key question for Israel not just being what the Iranians are willing to offer to reach a deal and end the conflict, but how much US President Donald Trump is prepared to concede in order to achieve a diplomatic success.

“While there is some movement, it isn't necessarily leading to a breakthrough,” Israeli sources noted in private discussions. “This progress is largely driven by pressure. Each passing day puts more strain on the Iranian economy, but it also impacts Trump. Gas prices in the US remain high, which the public is feeling in their wallets. Republicans are starting to grow concerned as they observe the polls, which are not looking promising for the upcoming midterm elections.”

  1. The problem with the US is that they have been conditioned by the media not to see the magnitude of the threat of Iran. Just like the media downplayed the threat of the USSR which made people wonder why Reagan provoked them so much.
    If the average American realized the danger of a nuclear Iran, he'd been pumping his fist in the air and shouting "Finish 'em off!" Instead the media tells him that Iran was hamrless and Trump started a war over nothing.

    1. Trump is about ready to settle the war without stopping the nuclear threat

    2. Every time Trump has signalled something, whether his position on Hamas or his relationship with Bibi or his intentions on Iran, it's been a deception. Every single time he goes and shocks everyone by doing the right thing instead of what he said he would do. Every single time.
      And every single time you fall for it. Nebich.
