US Must Rein in Israel or Iran Peace Deal Is Doomed, Warns Analyst

A potential US-Iran peace deal could be derailed by Israel unless Washington takes firm control of its Middle East ally, veteran war correspondent and political analyst Elijah J. Magnier told Sputnik.
Looking after Israel will be “a difficult task” for Trump now that Iran has accepted concessions from the US and mediators. Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, Iran will bomb Israel immediately in the event of any violation, Magnier explained.
He warned that if Israel violates it, “that will be a sabotage directed toward Trump, and it's up to the Americans to deal with” the situation.

This memorandum is “the beginning of US-Iran negotiations rather than a peace deal, even if it imposes the end of the war on all fronts.”

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu earlier made it clear that IDF troops will not withdraw from Lebanon as part of the US-Iran peace deal.
