Tehran has since confirmed that the "text of the memorandum of understanding" has been agreed on and is to be signed in Switzerland, opening the door to 60-day negotiations "following verification of US commitments," including the lifting of the US blockade.
The circus continues. To everyone having bought flight tickets for summer, brace yourselves.
Honestly the dependence of Israel on the US is often greatly exaggerated. Israel has nukes, so a full scale war against Egypt and Jordan is unlikely, especially since they get along okayish. Syria is not in fighting shape due to the civil war they had going for years. Lebanon and Palestine combined have about the same population as Israel and are divided geographically and also politically. Israel also has a very capable defence industry. Hell they even have some Arab friends like the UAE. Iran can support Hamaz and Hezbollah and fire missiles and drones against Israel. The land path is basically blocked and shipping or flying in soldiers is basically impossible for Iran on the scale needed to beat Israel.
At the same time Lebanons Christians are generally allies of Israel. If Israel hurts Hezbollah enough, then that problem is mostly solved. Also the West Bank seems to be strategically ethnically cleansed right now. I am surprised we do not hear more about some radical Zionist killing everybody in some village or something like that.
