Israel doubts US optimism in Iran talks as critical issues on nuclear concessions remain unsolved

Israeli officials express skepticism towards US optimism regarding the Iran nuclear talks, citing significant gaps between the US and Iran concerning what Iran is willing to offer and how much President Trump is prepared to concede. Increased political pressure on Trump, coupled with concerns about the upcoming midterm elections, is driving the situation, impacting oil prices and regional security. Israel is not rushing to embrace American optimism, viewing the negotiations as largely ritualistic and lacking substantial progress.
