Netanyahu sees a historic opportunity with the military operation in Iran, but has overlooked the long-term risk for U.S.-Israeli relations. If the war exacts a price from the United States, many Republican and Democratic voters will accuse Israel of having pushed for it deliberately
He later commented that he would not allow Iran to enrich uranium at all, adding that Tehran 'doesn't want to go quite far enough, and it's too bad.' Meanwhile, several countries recommended their citizens not to visit Israel or Iran amid mounting tensions
The IAEA estimates that Iran had 440.9 kg of uranium enriched to up to 60% before last year's Israeli-U.S. attacks - enough, if enriched further, for 10 nuclear weapons, according to an IAEA yardstick. The agency and Western powers believe the bulk of that is still intact. Washington wants Tehran to give it up
A day before Trump's top advisors, Witkoff and Kushner, head to Geneva to tell Iran they can never have a nuclear weapon, the president's high-stakes address provided the clearest insight yet into his thinking – and it still wasn't enough
Amid the Epstein files scandal and low approval ratings in the background, Trump's boasts about the economy, peace and Iran during his speech, the longest State of the Union address ever, mainly highlighted the gap between his statements and reality

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi vowed Tehran will pursue a 'fair and equitable' agreement in Geneva, while U.S. Senator Tom Cotton threatens military action if demands aren't met. Netanyahu praises Trump's support, warning that Iran and its allies remain a regional threat
Israelis have returned to what has become something of a national pastime: predicting when a U.S. strike on Iran might come and parsing the factors that could influence its timing
Netanyahu (with on-off support from Trump) is now explicitly pushing for regime change in Iran, and his government has fixated on the controversial, though galvanizing, son of the last shah as their post-Islamic Republic contender. Just don't mention his father's brutality
Negotiations with China to buy the missile weapons systems accelerated sharply after the 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June. 'It's a complete game-changer,' a former Israeli intelligence officer said
Israel is carefully monitoring the gathering American forces in the Middle East, but officials remain unsure whether the U.S. will strike Iran. Meanwhile, Trump says he would 'rather have a deal than not,' as U.S. envoys are set to attend talks in Geneva on Thursday
Just as observers do not know what Trump will decide or when, in Iran too, working assumptions are mixed with speculation, with all scenarios considered. While a limited American strike might provoke a tit-for-tat response, it could also spark chaos across the Middle East
