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?

A meeting without a public decision, strategic consultations in Washington, and the question of whether diplomacy or a new military strike against Iran is imminent.

The results of the meeting between Netanyahu and Trump and why new attacks on Iran are still considered an option in Jerusalem.

Five months of war, billions in costs, thousands of airstrikes, and yet none of the actual war aims have been achieved. The Iranian nuclear program has neither been decisively shut down, nor has the mullah regime been forced to capitulate or enter into a new nuclear agreement.
