Has Iran Won? | Eylon Levy

President Trump is expected to release details of his proposed agreement with Iran before it is formally signed in Geneva on Friday. But what has emerged so far has been met with alarm in Israel, particularly reports that Tehran could gain access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund and receive sweeping sanctions relief. The agreement would also reopen the Strait of Hormuz and launch a new 60-day negotiating process on Iran’s nuclear programme, while leaving major questions over Iran’s missiles and proxy network unanswered. Meanwhile, senior Iranian officials have told the Financial Times that the war proved only military force, not diplomacy, can protect the regime. They claim the conflict strengthened the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and demonstrated that the United States and Israel failed to destroy Iran’s underground missile infrastructure. In Israel, Air Force chief Major General Omer Tischler has revealed that the Israeli Air Force was just one hour away from launching a massive strike on hundreds of targets deep inside Iran before the mission was abruptly called off. Reports suggest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu halted the operation after President Trump urged Israel not to escalate the conflict further. And in Paris, a diplomatic row has erupted after France blocked Israeli companies from displaying offensive weapons at the Eurosatory defence exhibition and boarded up several Israeli stands. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar accused France of boycotting Israeli firms out of fear of competition, saying countries around the world would continue buying Israeli defence products because they are “simply better.” Today’s guest is former Spokesman for the State of Israel, Eylon Levy, who weighs whether the emerging US-Iran deal represents a strategic victory for Tehran. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Sign up to receive Israel in 10 daily: https://izs.activetrail.biz/Israel-in-10-Sign-Up Sponsorship inquiries: [email protected]
