Oded Eilam, former head of the Mossad's counter-terror division, warned on Thursday that the Trump administration is moving toward what he termed a 'surrender agreement' with Iran. Speaking on 103FM radio, Eilam said the administration's negotiation style mirrors Trump's bankruptcy pattern, and that sanctions relief would strengthen the Iranian regime and its regional proxies.
Oded Eilam, a former senior Mossad official and current researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs, made the remarks on 103FM radio on Thursday. He argued that the Trump administration's negotiating approach mirrors the pattern of repeated bankruptcies from Trump's business career, where strategic concessions were made to avoid collapse. 'This is the seventh bankruptcy of the corporation called America,' he said. Eilam warned that Iran's leadership is adept at exploiting American weaknesses, employing tactics outlined in Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's book: delaying, identifying enemy vulnerabilities, and insisting on red lines. He stated that the removal of sanctions would inject billions of dollars into the Iranian regime, strengthening its military and its regional proxies. The warning reflects growing unease in Israeli security circles about the direction of the US-Iran talks, which Eilam characterized as a 'surrender agreement' that would undermine long-term security.
