Israeli media said that "Israel" has lost its "biggest battle" in the past 20 years against the Iranian nuclear program, noting that "Israel" must understand that the issue has been sealed and they have lost.

Israeli political analyst Ari Shavit cited the words of Ehud Barak, whom he considered the biggest partner of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said, "We have lost."

Shavit pointed out that the agreement was "bad" and that seemingly Netanyahu counted on the idea that former US President Donald Trump would be re-elected and an escalation would follow to the point where Trump would attack Iran militarily.

Alon Ben-David: The problem is that Iran is accumulating capabilities

Alon Ben-David, a military analyst at Channel 13, said that Trump assumed that he would be re-elected and that maximum pressure would bring Iran to its knees, forcing it into negotiations and signing a modified agreement. Yet, neither happened.

Ben-David added that the coming weeks will witness a massive American return to the Iranians, predicting that the Iranians would procrastinate, and when they do come to negotiate, it will not be for the sake of signing, because they see the weakness of Biden and the international community.

The Israeli analyst believed that the problem lies in Iran accumulating nuclear capabilities. Even opponents of the nuclear agreement in the security and military establishment will take the 2015 agreement with both hands if you give it to them, he added.

Ya'alon: Barak was right

On Friday, Yedioth Ahronoth published an article under the title "A close look at the Iranian reality" by former Security Minister and IOF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon, in which he said that Ehud Barak correctly analyzed the status of Iran's nuclear program.

A recount

In the meantime, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein AmirAbdollahian revealed on Friday that Iran will soon return to the negotiations on resuming the 2015 nuclear agreement.

On Thursday, a senior US official revealed that there is still an opportunity to revive the Iranian nuclear agreement, but accused Tehran of not setting a date for the resumption of talks. 

It is worth noting that six rounds of talks had been conducted between Iran and the P4+1 group, comprising France, the UK, Russia, China, and Germany, between April and June 2021, in an attempt to revive the nuclear deal.
