If you really want to smoke out Iranian intentions, why not have them commit to a mutual non-aggression treaty with the U.S. and Israel? Iran is essentially already demanding one, except its version only runs one way, in favor of Iran.
At a stroke, such an agreement would undermine their entire regional strategy of seeking dominance, a strategy that began in 1979 when, out of the blue, Ayatollah Khomeini declared Israel and the U.S. the existential adversaries.
Such an agreement would undermine Iran’s need for nuclear weapons, a massive ballistic missile inventory, support of terror proxies and pretty much everything else. In fact, it could be pitched as a first step toward the creation of the Cyrus Accords to further cement Iranian-Israeli cooperation.
Of course, there is zero chance that Iran’s current leaders would agree to any of this, but yet another - and this time very public - example of the regime’s hypocrisy couldn’t hurt.
Bibi doesn't believe the mullahs are honorable or that their agreements can be trusted. He'd rather degrade them militarily. Trump doesn't believe they can be trusted either but has a political limit in the amount of war at his disposal.
According to Reuters Pakistan intervened with Washington to prevent the Israeli targeting and assassination of the two Iranian officials trump was hoping to negotiate with. It is obvious that Bibi hopes to continue the war for months. Trump meanwhile is caught in a dilemma continuing his unpopular war will ensure his party’s defeat in the November elections and a massive world wide recession just when he thought his giveaway tax cut would boost the us economy and salvage his cratering approval numbers. High gas prices ensure a democratic controlled house that will vote to impeach him a third time.
