The deal with the Iranian devil

We were told the war was necessary to:
• remove the ayatollahs and IRGC from power
• get Iranians to rise up and take control
• eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons capacity
• end Iran's support for terror around the globe
• create stability in the Middle East
None of those things happened. None.
Instead, Iran is getting billions. Its homicidal regime is intact, worse than ever before. It keeps its weapons-grade uranium. It gets to keep its proxy armies in Hamas and Hezbollah. It is getting de facto control of the Strait of Hormuz and has been transformed into regional superpower.
This "deal" is a fiasco. Not just for Israel, but for the world.
And it will take years to repair the damage.
Once again, Trump shows he is incapable of actually making any substantive deal. He has essentially re-created Obama's deal, but on worse terms, and with a bunch of dead people piled up just as a kicker.
And, to your point, Israel is no better off. Then again, even if the deal had made the average Israeli safer, Netanyahu wouldn't want to stop the war. He needs a perpetual villain to ensure he stays in power and avoids having to answer for his atrocious domestic governance.
