An Israeli commentator wrote that President Trump is falling for Iran's tactic of sowing discord between Israel and the US, expressing concern that a deal will be signed and Iran will still blame Israel. The post reflects growing Israeli anxiety about the direction of US-Iran talks amid the current military campaign.
An Israeli commentator posts a sharply-worded assessment on Telegram that President Donald Trump is being outmaneuvered by Iran's diplomatic tactics. The commentator writes that Trump appears to be 'falling into the Iranians' trap' as they use a strategy 'to drive a wedge between us and the Americans' — 'us' referring to Israel. The post warns that a signed deal may still result in Iran blaming Israel, a scenario the commentator says would not be surprising. The message echoes a broader pattern of Israeli unease with the Trump administration's dual-track approach to Iran: escalating military strikes while continuing to pursue a nuclear deal. Over the past several days, The Zioneer has reported extensively on this dynamic — from Trump stating the US was 'close to a deal' but was deceived (Jun 10, 18:56 Jerusalem), to Israeli officials expressing alarm over reported concessions (Jun 13, 07:30 Jerusalem). The commentator's post adds a new edge of suspicion to these developments, though it remains a personal opinion rather than an official statement. The commentator does not cite any specific new development; the concern is framed as a growing fear as talks continue alongside military operations.
