A Spectacle of Hypocrisy in Ankara
Those who thought the war in Iran would change the Middle East were mistaken. But it also did something else: it ended the elements of patience and maneuvering ability of Jerusalem in Washington. Ostensibly.
Assessment
The piece argues that the Iran war did not reshape the Middle East as expected, but instead eroded Jerusalem's diplomatic patience and room to maneuver in Washington. This reframes the conflict's outcome as a strategic liability, not a victory. The claim points to a potentially consequential shift in U.S.-Israel relations, though its accuracy depends on unverified developments.
