U.S. intelligence warns Israel is likely to undermine Iran peace deal: Washington Post
U.S. officials said domestic pressure on Netanyahu and Israeli frustration with the terms could complicate implementation of the new agreement with Iran.
- US intelligence agencies warned President Donald Trump that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may undermine the newly signed US-Iran agreement, citing Netanyahu's intense domestic pressure to continue military operations in Lebanon.
- Although Trump signed a deal at the Palace of Versailles this week, intelligence reports suggest Netanyahu's political survival relies on demonstrating he will not withdraw troops from Lebanon.
- On Friday, Israel launched air strikes in southern Lebanon after a Hezbollah drone strike killed four Israeli soldiers, prompting Iranian officials to postpone talks scheduled for Switzerland.
- Trump claimed Thursday that Iran agreed to an "unconditional surrender," contradicting the 14-point agreement, while the US delegation delayed its departure, postponing the signing with Vice President Vance.
- Administration officials insist the agreement does not prevent Israel from retaliating against Hezbollah if attacked, arguing the deal is essential to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and stave off a global economic crisis.
