Analysis

The Iran deal is an American failure that endangers Israel

The senior American official distorted the truth in a briefing to reporters: The centrifuges will remain, the enriched uranium will not be removed, and Trump himself contradicted him the next day. Iran won on the money issue: Lifting sanctions on oil exports will channel tens of billions of dollars to the Revolutionary Guards, more than they earned by bypassing sanctions. Senior US official to Israel: “You will not be a signatory to the agreement, but every action you take will have to be coordinated with the US.”
