Israel great expectations unlikely to be met in Iran negotiations

UANI Senior Advisor Dror Doron writes: "Decision makers in Israel see the current point in time as a strategic opportunity to dismantle the threat posed by the Islamic regime in Tehran. The regime’s crumbling domestic legitimacy, the collapse of the local currency, and the massive blows to its regional proxies put Tehran in its most vulnerable position in decades. . . . This set of ambitious demands is seen in Tehran as an Israeli attempt to achieve a complete Iranian surrender or face the risk of a military move that might cause the fall of the regime. Ahead of the second round of talks with the US, Iranian officials have already categorically rejected the idea of any negotiations on its ballistic missiles or its proxy network. . . . The gap between Israel’s demands and the Iranian position leaves very little leeway for compromise and seems to lead the way to an inevitable military conflict. The question that remains to be seen is what President Trump’s intentions are."
