Reserve Lt. Col. Amit Yagur told Channel 14 on Sunday morning that President Trump does not intend to resume negotiations with Iran, having understood the nature of the Iranian regime. According to Yagur, the US aims to topple the regime by one means or another, as reported by the outlet.
Reserve Lt. Col. Amit Yagur, a prominent Israeli defense commentator, told Channel 14 on Sunday morning that President Trump has concluded that returning to the negotiating table with Iran is futile, adding that the US now seeks to topple the Iranian regime.
Yagur, who previously questioned Trump's shifting posture toward Iran — as The Zioneer reported on June 17 and June 15 — has now doubled down on his assessment that the administration's conciliatory public stance is a strategic move. His latest remarks align with a broader debate among Israeli analysts about whether Washington is genuinely pursuing diplomacy or preparing for a final confrontation.
The statement comes amid a months-long US-Iran standoff, with Trump oscillating between diplomatic overtures and military escalation. While the administration has not officially confirmed a shift in strategy, Yagur's view reflects a growing sentiment among Israeli security commentators that the window for negotiations has closed.
