Trump & Israel Are Faking Their Split — Here’s What Iran Doesn’t Know

Elie Pieprz, IDSF's Director of International Affairs, breaks down the real state of the U.S.–Israel alliance ahead of Israel's elections — and why Tehran may be misreading what's actually happening. Recorded August 13, 2026. In this briefing: The "rift" is a ruse. When Israel's interests demand it, misalignment with Washington is sometimes deliberate — a cover used to catch Iran off guard. The elections that change everything. How Israel's vote reshapes the alliance — and what a new government means for U.S. pressure. What Iran doesn't know. The strategic gap between public tension and private coordination — and why the Iranians keep miscalculating. Where Israel acts alone. The red lines where Jerusalem defies even Washington to guarantee its own security. The settler-violence narrative. What the media gets wrong, and how supporters of Israel should navigate the shifting perception battle. 👏 TIME IS RUNNING OUT - Join the tribute to General Avivi 👏 https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalavivitribute/ This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.
