Iran Rejects Trump’s Deal as Israel Eyes Its Next Move | Israel Insider

Description

Iran’s response to the latest U.S. nuclear proposal has left Washington frustrated and Israel watching closely.

In this episode of Israel Insider, Middle East Forum advisor Ashley Perry examines why Tehran may believe it emerged from the recent war with the upper hand, how the Strait of Hormuz is shaping the pressure campaign, and why President Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping could affect the next phase of the Iran crisis.

Perry also analyzes Israel’s other active fronts, including Hezbollah’s continued attacks from Lebanon, Hamas’s refusal to disarm in Gaza, and the growing political pressure inside Israel as the coalition faces a crisis over ultra-Orthodox enlistment.

This episode covers the Iran talks, U.S. options after Tehran’s rejection, China’s leverage over Iran, the possibility of renewed military action, and how Israel’s domestic political calendar could shape decisions on Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.
