Security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted on X Monday evening a rhetorical analysis suggesting that if Israel's position is that the US and Israel are 'fairly close' on Iran and that Israel does not believe a deal will be reached and favors a return to fighting, then Trump also does not believe in a deal and favors a return to fighting. The post reflects the ongoing debate in Israeli security circles over the trajectory of US-Iran negotiations.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted a rhetorical question on X Monday evening that appears to synthesize the current Israeli assessment of the Trump administration's stance on Iran. Goldblatt, who previously noted that Israel has no specific assessment on the timing of a potential renewed war with Iran, suggested that if Israel's own reading is that the US and Israeli positions are 'fairly close' (as Trump stated Monday) and that Israel does not believe a deal will be reached and favors a return to fighting, then the logical conclusion is that Trump also does not believe in a deal and favors a return to fighting. The post adds to the ongoing discourse in Israeli security circles regarding the direction of US-Iran negotiations and the possibility of renewed military conflict.
