Why Israel fears a US-Iran deal could leave Tehran’s nuclear threat intact - opinion

Israel fears a US-Iran deal could leave Tehran’s nuclear threat intact, focusing on the nuclear capabilities, missile systems, scientific knowledge, and regional influence Iran might retain after an agreement. The success of the agreement depends not only on preventing immediate escalation or signing an agreement, but also on dismantling Iran’s threshold capability for a limited period. Israel is less concerned with tomorrow morning’s actions and more with the possibility of Iran emerging from the crisis while preserving its long-term strategic insurance.
