Dr. Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs, told Newsmax that Iran is exploiting talks with Washington to drive a wedge between Israel and the United States. He rejected claims Tehran has changed course, saying the regime has a history of deception. Diker's remarks follow parallel analysis from JCFA CEO Gvichon Steinberg at Algemeiner, who argues the emerging US-Iran MOU freezes the conflict rather than resolves it.
Dr. Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs (JCFA), warned in an interview with Newsmax that Iran is exploiting the current diplomatic track with Washington to pursue a strategic goal: weakening the US-Israel alliance. 'The Iranians want to isolate Israel and create tension between the United States and Israel,' Diker said. He argued that the regime presents recent developments not as a diplomatic achievement but as a victory over Israel and the West. Diker dismissed the notion that Iran has changed course, stating the regime has a long record of deception and hiding information from the international community.
Concurrent analysis by JCFA CEO Gvichon Steinberg, writing in Algemeiner, contends that the emerging US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding grants Tehran a strategic pause. Steinberg says the deal does not mandate dismantling the nuclear program, halting the missile project, or cutting support for regional proxies. 'The confrontation was frozen, not resolved,' he writes. Steinberg further notes that Gulf states now see Israel as the only regional power capable of confronting Iran, while China learns how to pressure the US through economic and strategic leverage. He frames the MOU as 'another pause in a long and exhausting war,' not a new peace.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Israeli analyst Yoni Ben-Menachem similarly warned that Iran will try to deceive the Trump administration in any nuclear deal, calling the diplomatic situation 'reversible.' The warnings come amid ongoing US-led diplomatic efforts to avert an Iranian strike on Israel, which The Zioneer reported on Sunday.
