Iran: Trump, Bibi, and Spying
US President Trump appears to have accepted a framework deal with Iran that=
ignores many of Israel=E2=80=99s (and America=E2=80=99s) declared war aims=
against that country.
Indeed, the parties (with Israel absent) are scheduled this Friday to sign =
off on a negotiating framework that is understood by Israel to comprise a c=
easefire, including in Lebanon, opening of the Hormuz Straits and some form=
of nuclear supervision. Middle East oil will flow again. Down the line, th=
e US will release billions in frozen Iranian funds.
Little appears to remain of US and Israeli demands to restrict Iran=E2=80=
=99s missile arsenal and sever Iranian support for proxies like Hezbollah. =
No one is dismantling the ayatollahs=E2=80=99 regime, thereby (by omission)=
legitimizing it.
Lebanon with its weak government and dominant pro-Iran Shiites remains caug=
ht up in the middle of all this.

Iran: Trump, Bibi, and Spying
US President Trump appears to have accepted a framework deal with Iran that ignores many of Israel’s (and America’s) declared war aims against that country.
Indeed, the parties (with Israel absent) are scheduled this Friday to sign off on a negotiating framework that is understood by Israel to comprise a ceasefire, including in Lebanon, opening of the Hormuz Straits and some form of nuclear supervision. Middle East oil will flow again. Down the line, the US will release billions in frozen Iranian funds.
Little appears to remain of US and Israeli demands to restrict Iran’s missile arsenal and sever Iranian support for proxies like Hezbollah. No one is dismantling the ayatollahs’ regime, thereby (by omission) legitimizing it.
Lebanon with its weak government and dominant pro-Iran Shiites remains caught up in the middle of all this.
