Security analyst Yair Goldblatt argues that the emerging US-Iran agreement effectively returns the situation to the baseline before the memorandum of understanding, and that the deal does not address Iran's nuclear ambitions. Goldblatt posed the rhetorical question whether Trump truly expected Tehran to abandon its nuclear program.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt argued on Monday that the emerging US-Iran agreement effectively restores the status quo ante the signing of the memorandum of understanding, without addressing the core nuclear issue. In a post on X, Goldblatt asked whether President Trump truly expected Iran to abandon its nuclear program. The Zioneer has previously reported Goldblatt's skepticism regarding the deal, noting that he has warned the agreement leaves Israel with unanswered questions about Iran's ballistic missile program and Hezbollah. Goldblatt's latest assessment reinforces his view that the deal does not constitute a meaningful change in Iran's nuclear posture.
