Since US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire, the Jewish community in Iran has been breathing a sigh of relief. During the war, several Jewish homes were damaged, and a synagogue in Tehran was also hit. The Jewish community lives under heavy pressure from the regime to fall in line with its propaganda.
According to the US president, the ceasefire will last 10 days, while the sides continue efforts to achieve "lasting peace." Trump says he will invite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to the White House for "the first meaningful talks between Israel and Lebanon since 1983."
The shutdown of the Karish and Leviathan gas platforms is estimated to have cost about 1.5 billion shekels. Despite the defensive envelope in place, the IDF decided not to take the risk. Now, some are even claiming the move was part of a conspiracy aimed at securing additional budgets.
The destruction of Iran’s capabilities and loss of legitimacy have created an irreversible process of erosion. As an ancient people, we must be patient in the face of a dictatorship that has drained its reserves and is on the path to self-destruction.
A source in Tehran told Reuters that Pakistani army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir’s visit to Iran helped bridge some of the differences between the sides. Major disputes remain, however, particularly over the nuclear issue.
