As Iran buckles under devastating blows, the Netanyahu-Trump alliance is driving a historic shift; despite the voices of despair, Israel is holding firm and prevailing on the way to cleansing Tehran of leaven and ridding the world of evil

A security source tells Israel Hayom the two were kept alive as a lifeline for negotiations – even as Tehran spurns the American proposal and the war shows no signs of stopping.

Tehran calls the American offer "excessive," demands war reparations, sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and guarantees against future strikes – as US officials dismiss the demands as "ridiculous and unrealistic."

Western diplomatic sources say the supreme leader’s son maintains his role in decision-making while power shifts toward an IRGC military junta led by Ahmad Vahidi and Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf.

With geographic advantages and a direct line to the Trump administration, Islamabad is maneuvering to broker talks – but its credibility is tested by domestic unrest and broken alliances.
