Maj. Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan stated that President Trump's goal in the military campaign against Iran is to return to negotiations, not to topple the regime. Dayan added that Trump prefers a 'bad deal' over a 'just war,' according to a report.
Maj. Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan, a former IDF major general, offered an assessment of President Donald Trump's strategic calculus regarding the military campaign against Iran. According to Dayan, Trump's objective is not regime change in Tehran but rather a return to the negotiating table, and he would accept an imperfect agreement over continued hostilities.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's stated preference for a diplomatic resolution, even as the U.S. maintains a high-intensity military campaign. Trump has repeatedly warned that failure in talks would lead to a return to fighting, while also expressing openness to a deal. Dayan's analysis echoes elements of that public posture.
Dayan did not provide additional details or a specific source for his assessment.
