Does anyone remember what happened a year ago? We had those 12 days with Iran – relatively “short and sweet.”

The war against Iran threatens to become far more than just another conflict in the Middle East for Washington.

It could emerge as a major economic power, thanks to its vast energy resources and strategic geographic position.

Targeting Iran’s trade has advantages but only if determined and prolonged, Israeli observers explain.

The US president insists that American naval forces are maintaining a strict blockade until Tehran agrees to a deal or total surrender.

As Washington balances military pressure with diplomacy toward Tehran, the US leader is confronting many of the same strategic constraints that have shaped Israel’s multifront war.

Washington’s indecision and strategic confusion are forcing CENTCOM—and, more broadly, the CIA—to rethink its approach to the Islamic regime.

The president did not say where the negotiations would take place.

In Israel, there was already a feeling that this would be like previous bluffs. Is Donald Trump using the announcement of military strikes as part of his negotiating strategy?
