Israel will not be pressured into going along with this ridiculous agreement. Trump will attempt bluster and bullying, but it will not work. The Israelis are not going to take casualties so that Trump can pretend that this hopeless sham agreement with the mad mullahs has any hope of survival.
Well, That Didn’t Take Long

I wonder how lucrative this target in Lebanon was that Israel couldn’t wait a few days for the backlog of ships trapped in the Persian Gulf to get out.
Perhaps Israel was never intended to go along with Trump’s Fourteen Points.
Trump gets to look like he wants the war over – Israel continues kicking butt.
So let’s face it: Iran won (at least temporarily–maybe long enough to get a bundle of money from the US). Trump-style bullying and Hegseth-style brute force have their limitations.
Bob- all I know for sure is that the Iranian people lost – again.
Brute force wasn’t given a chance to work. Trump was way too eager to work out a deal with people it is impossible to make a deal with and kept initiating idiotic cease fires. I hope he has learned his lesson for next time, and there will be a next time with Iran, and probably fairly shortly.
I dunno Bob, did North Korea win the Korean War? From 1953 to 2006 they were absolutely no threat to anyone. Then they got a bomb and now they’re a threat to everyone!
… Iran hasn’t won YET … but if they build a bomb we all lose. Have we set them back? I don’t know… hopefully they don’t build one until after November.
