Iran

History shows that Israeli concessions in the face of Iranian threats lead to demands being escalated, not to calm. In the Middle East, and certainly when dealing with the regime in Tehran, giving up freedom of action out of risk of escalation is not seen as an act of responsibility.

Tehran has made significant concessions, entering the negotiations militarily weakened, economically devastated, and politically fragile. It is now critical that Jerusalem help shape the outcome of the talks.

The deal gives the Iranian regime a lifeline from the lowest point it has reached and resources to rebuild its capabilities. Instead of forcing Tehran to sever its ties with Lebanon, it strengthens Iran’s hold there. With an outcome like this, the Trump administration is making itself a laughingstock in the countries of the region.

In the face of the US push for a deal that will funnel billions to Tehran, Israel must shift its paradigm and seek the active collapse of the Iranian octopus’ head.

The greatest danger of the emerging deal is that it may throw the regime a political and economic lifeline at the very moment when it is most vulnerable.

The deal will grant legitimacy to the extremist regime in Tehran and prove that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps can survive even the immense pressure exerted by a global superpower. The resources that flow to the regime will enable it to rebuild its capabilities and, no less important, sell its citizens the very thing that drove them into the streets: hope for economic improvement.

The arrest of a senior Iranian operative shows that Tehran directed nearly 20 attacks on European and US soil in just three months. This case underscores how Tehran utilizes its operational proxies alongside its ballistic missile arsenal to escalate its threat and capacity for harm against the West. While Washington is working to deal with the head of the snake, France and Spain are choosing a line of panicked appeasement.

Why President Trump’s moves against Iran reflect a coherent global strategy, not political whim.

The war against Iran had a coherent cause and was strategically successful. It is dishonest to deny this.

Tehran made a historic miscalculation. By striking regional states and choking a vital maritime artery, it echoed strategic blunders of the past.
