At first glance, the Israeli leadership does not think Trump’s negotiations are going hard enough against Iran. Israel sees this as not really any stronger than Obama’s 2015 JCPOA. Israel see this potential new agreement as being soft enough that it won’t prevent Iran at all from gaining nuclear weapons.
Let’s face facts: Iran has already enriched uranium to the 60% point, and there’s no civilian use for 60% uranium. There’s no nation on the earth that reached 60% enrichment except for the ten which also achieved a bomb.
USA negotiator Witcoff has even said that there’s no civilian use for uranium enriched beyond the 3.67% range (that’s under four percent, folks).
Since this is an existential question for Israel, this is of great concern. In the end, if the USA fails to end Iran’s military nuclear program, then someone else must do it.
One idea is assassination. Iran’s air force commander oversaw the launch of over 400 missiles and drones from Iran directly at Israel, and he’s still alive:
Deeper explanation of how the USA’s stated goals are just not strong enough for Israel’s needs:
And another relevant headline reads: “Iran says its right to uranium enrichment is non-negotiable.”
In a turnaround, USA’s Witkoff now says that any deal must NOT allow Iran any military uranium enrichment whatsoever; even to the discussion of how to transfer the uranium to Russia:
Headline: “Iran must stop and eliminate enrichment, weaponization program,” Witkoff says.
We serve and build the Kingdom of Faith in challenging times. Yet, we are not dismayed. YHWH is on the throne.
Pray and Send Support.
