Senior Israeli defense establishment officials are expressing pessimism regarding the prospects of a deal between Washington and Tehran, according to military correspondent Yossi Yehoshua. They assess that Iran is unwilling to compromise, is stalling, and has gained confidence following the political defeat of President Donald Trump in the US midterm elections. Trump himself acknowledged that the conflict with Iran contributed to the Republican party's losses, stating in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that he did the right thing and would do it again. Despite the political cost, Trump continues to assert that he will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and that further military action remains a possibility.
Meanwhile, Israel is maintaining a high state of alert due to the potential failure of negotiations. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are reportedly prepared to resume hostilities with Iran within hours of a decision being made, but the ultimate choice rests with the US President. Concurrently, Israel has issued a warning to Hezbollah against joining any new round of fighting, fearing that an escalation with Iran could ignite a conflict on the Lebanese front as well.
