In an extended Telegram post, Israeli commentator Omri Ha'im argues that the US-Iran deal represents an unprecedented Iranian victory, describing it as a 'surrender' and 'humiliation' of the United States by the ayatollahs' regime. He claims the victory resonates in the depths of Shiite faith and that Iran achieved it without significant cost, while Trump 'stopped inches from the knockout' and chose to revive and resupply 'the greatest tyranny of our time.'
Israeli journalist and commentator Omri Ha'im published a long Telegram post Wednesday evening offering a strident critique of the US-Iran deal from a right-of-center Israeli perspective. Ha'im frames the agreement as a profound 'surrender' by the United States, arguing that the Trump administration—which he says was 'a moment away from the knockout' of the ayatollahs—instead chose to revive the Iranian regime.
Ha'im's analysis echoes sentiments already reported by The Zioneer: earlier bulletins noted Iran's own state media presenting the deal as an imposed victory, and journalist Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom) reported that Trump's reversal was driven by fuel-price election fears. Ha'im's post adds a more sweeping ideological and religious dimension, claiming the outcome 'creates religious ecstasy in the hearts' of Shiite Iranians who see themselves as having defeated the Great Satan.
