Why trade away leverage? First, the US hasn’t traded anything away permanently. They basically agreed to remit a limited fee for an option to delay matters until the November Elections. The MOU is only an agreement to agree on the final plan. There are no details or mechanisms. The Trump Administration holds all the keys. We have to wait and see how it will actually use them.
And remember: Israel is NOT a party to the MOU. It is free to do whatever must be done to protect its vital national security interests—in Lebanon, Syria and within Iran itself.
⭕️🧵WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE US AND ISRAEL? A new axis of evil has just formed before our eyes: Iran, Qatar, Pakistan, and Turkey. Shockingly, Trump now fully supports them and considers them allies. Israel's security concerns are no longer a priority for Trump; he cares little for Israel. Let’s examine the fronts Israel is fighting on, along with my predictions for each:
Look at the deal without thinking of elections, Trump, Obama or Israel. It's an American defeat by rewarding Iran to stop terrorizing an international waterway which was open 3 months ago without reward.
Pues entiendo el cabreo de Israel. Trump ha firmado un acuerdo que le concede la victoria a la Guardia Revolucionaria y que acerca el escenario de una futura guerra nuclear en Oriente Medio.
Irán ha calculado bien: Trump no iba a resistir una guerra larga.
This is controversial, but it needs to be said: many Israelis are reacting to the US-Iran MOU with an unbelievable degree of immaturity.
Trump is being portrayed as a traitor, a flip-flopper, a man who abandoned Israel. Newspapers are putting headlines on the front page about how he is no longer a friend. Journalists who proudly posted photos of themselves interviewing him are now putting Xs over those pictures.
But let’s look at what actually happened: Trump went to war expecting a certain outcome and when that outcome did not materialize he made a decision to cut his losses and do what he believes serves America’s interests: to end the war now, under terms that many of us wish were stronger and more favorable.
By the way, it was always obvious that the war had a narrow window and was not going to carry on into the summer with the World Cup and the 250th coming on July 4.
Everyone is allowed to disagree with the deal and think it’s flawed (I definitely do). You can also argue that it leaves dangerous questions unanswered about uranium, missiles, and Iran’s support for terrorism.
But Trump’s decision was never about Israel’s interests alone. It was about America’s interests.
These critics need to get over the shock of what Trump did. Their problem was thinking (why, God only knows) that every decision Trump makes is guided primarily by what is best for Israel. What happened is something else - these people fundamentally misunderstood how the relationship with the US works. Now they have learned.
