Will US-Russia policy give Iran the bomb and kill the Abraham Accords?
Why would anyone expect Iran to give up its nuclear ambition now? Even before the war in Ukraine, Iran was encouraged by the success of North Korea in holding the West at bay.

Having so far opted for countermeasure operations or arrests, the IDF is now expected to increase targeted raids in Palestinian terror hubs, such as Tuesday's elimination of Lion's Den's leader and destruction of its explosives lab.
Between the taking of the first and of the second, much elapsed, throwing a nation into mourning and then into an acute, turbulent economic crisis – tectonic shifts, one after the other, that many in the country had never experienced.
The Russia-Ukraine war is changing the global order and Israel must consider its steps carefully.
Prime Minister Yair Lapid was quick to bestow praise after the elimination of Uday Tamimi, but instead of thanking the Maale Adumim civil security guards, who actually killed the terrorist, he thanked the security agencies that failed to locate him during the 11-day manhunt.
The best Israel can do now is hope that the accord turns out as Lapid insists, although he likely will not be the leader to see it executed. And unless it secures deterrence against Hezbollah and produces billions in revenue for Israel, the public will have many good reasons to protest.
The new maritime border deal with Lebanon is important for economic and security reasons, but it is not historic.
Israel's response is to flood Palestinian territories with forces, arrest potential attackers based on intelligence and put pressure on the Palestinian Authority to step up – all in the hopes that the terror wave will subside.
Upon assuming office, Yair Lapid ditched the previous Israeli proposals and effectively caved in to Lebanese demands. But will the deal get approved before the election?
The current protests will not be without consequences for the Iranian rulers, but there is a ways to go in light of the ayatollahs' increased sense of confidence.
