According to a report from The Zioneer's intake, there is major disappointment in Israel over the emerging US-Iran deal after learning that President Trump reportedly accepted Iran's condition that Lebanon be part of the ceasefire, thus preserving Hezbollah. Trump also reportedly told the New York Times that Iran can enrich uranium to low levels and after 15 years can do so without restrictions. The report frames the development as meaning Israel will face Iran and its proxies for decades.
A report received this morning at The Zioneer's intelligence desk describes a sense of 'major disappointment' in Israeli official circles over the terms of the emerging US-Iran nuclear agreement. According to the report, President Trump has apparently accepted Iran's condition that Lebanon be included in the ceasefire framework, which would preserve Hezbollah's standing and capabilities. Additionally, Trump told the New York Times that Iran will be permitted to enrich uranium to low levels, and after a 15-year period can do so without restrictions. The report characterizes the development as effectively telling Iran it must simply wait to destroy Israel, and that Israelis will be fighting Iran and its proxies for decades to come. As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, the government is simultaneously extending Israel's special home-front emergency status through June 30. The report cited here comes from a single source and has not yet been independently corroborated. Trump's direct quotes to the NYT, as cited, appear to align with previous reports covered by The Zioneer on Sunday that Trump may accept a 15-year enrichment suspension from Iran.
