Israel fears Iran intends to use the 60-day nuclear negotiating period at the heart of its emerging deal with the United States as cover to push its program closer to a weapon, Channel 12 reported Tuesday, citing senior Israeli officials.
The window is a central feature of the memorandum of understanding signed electronically this week and set for formal signing in Switzerland on Friday. It opens a 60-day track for talks on Iran’s nuclear activities, monitoring, and the disposition of its enriched uranium. Israeli officials, according to the report, believe Tehran has no intention of letting those talks reach a genuine resolution.
...If the Israeli assessment is right, the document the world will watch the two sides sign in Switzerland buys Iran something more valuable than peace. It buys time, and time is the one ingredient a nuclear program most needs.* * *The 60-day window for negotiations and the ceasefire expansion begins immediately following the in-person formal signing ceremony in Switzerland on Friday, June 19, 2026.While the framework memorandum of understanding was virtually and electronically signed by both sides earlier in the week, international mediators and government officials from both the U.S. and Iran have confirmed that the official countdown and the subsequent phase of final settlement talks will only start once the physical documents are signed at the Bürgenstock resort near Lucerne.

That brings us to August 18th, the 4th day of Elul. It's remarkable to me how it leads right into the month of repentance before judgment day for the entire world. It's also notable that the nuclear scourge, which was developed and deployed by the United States, was introduced to the world at this same auspicious time - 81 years ago. And here, today, it is the focus of every conversation on earth - whether Iran wil be allowed to have a nuclear weapon which it threatens to use to annihilate Israel.

The United States owes a debt to God for having created and unleashed such a devastating weapon upon the world. Neged k'neged mida would seem to require that it eventually be turned against them. It would be pure justice if Iran used this time and money provided to it by Trump to get a weapon and use it on the US. On the other hand, if mercy applies, maybe their downfall connected to the issue of an Iranian nuke could satisfy the judgment.
Lest we forget, the fall of the Twin Towers occurred on the 23rd of Elul and while it was only a warning, it started the countdown on the path to the ultimate end of Edom.
Divine timing is everything.

ReplyDeleteYes, Israel routinely buys billions of US dollars and holds them in order to prop up their market value - to keep the US economy afloat. I've often wondered what will be with us when the bottom falls out and we're holding onto billions of worthless paper. Oh sorry, we won't even have the paper - just pixels on a screen.

Now, as the "special relationship" with the Americans, a relationship once considered a "strategic asset," turns (as expected) into a strategic/security collapse, I wish to warn against another collapse that reliance on the Americans will lead us to—not the security collapse, but the economic one!
Please lend an ear, because, as I deeply regret to say, I accurately predicted where the Americans would lead us on security matters, and I am convinced that the same will happen economically if we do not prepare properly.
The foreign exchange reserves held at the Bank of Israel currently stand at a staggering sum of $236.8 billion!
This entire phenomenal pile of money is held in dollar-linked assets. In other words, all of Israel's wealth can be frozen with a single American button press—and we haven't even discussed the fact that the dollar itself is rapidly losing its value, and it's not at all unlikely that it will reach the brink of collapse in the coming decade.
The people at the Bank of Israel aren't fools.
It's reasonable to assume that the reason for this utterly illogical investment of the national capital stems from American pressure and not from genuine economic considerations. In other words, just as we allowed the Americans to be the ones who approve whether we strike their capitals, we also allowed them to dictate how we hold our currency reserves.
But today, as we see what happens to our security when we relinquish our sovereignty and tie ourselves to American security interests, it's time we rethink not only security but also the economy.
In many Western countries, they already understand the risk of putting your money in a basket of strangers, diversifying their national capital and investing in gold as well.
Yet here, in the cellars of the Bank of Israel, you won't find a single ounce of gold.
Now, while it's still possible to carry out gradual processes, Israel's economic leaders must transition in an orderly manner to investing Israel's currency reserves in gold and also—in a slow and calculated way—in Bitcoin—and not in any other cryptocurrency.
Not only will Israel's sovereignty and control over its currency be preserved in this manner, not only will Israel thus free its neck from the sinking American Titanic, but investing the national capital in gold and a certain percentage in Bitcoin will turn Israel into the richest country in the world.
I hope the BOI listens. But ultimately, we must not trust in flesh and blood - only in the One True God - HDG
DeleteSo, if you write against Trump policies you are either Stupid or Bad People. He doesn't want them as friends anymore. What a petty individual.
DeleteWe started selling off dollars, and that's why it fell so dramatically. The problem is that the tech industry does alot of business in America. Plus other Israelis who live here, work with companies in America, myself included. So when we get paid in dollars it translates to much less in shekels. Tech companies were planning to relocate. The real estate market was freezing. So the decision to start buying again and thus raise the dollar had much more to do with the needs of Israel than whatever America was demanding.
DeleteTrump just can't keep from slamming Netanyahu, but has great praises for Iran Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan... every Islamic radical country.
ReplyDeleteNotice behind Trump.

Evian. (I don't know what this is)
Evian spelled backwards is Naive. How Appropriate.
Iran bombs their Islamic neighbors and have to pay "reparations" for being attacked. Same with Hamas in Gaza. Islamic terrorists are the benefactors of Trump.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why, in this term, the press never asks very tough questions for Trump. They didn't hold back in his first term.
So he is just fine with Iran having ballistic missiles. When the nations go after Israel I firmly believe Trump will be there, maybe even leading them.
ReplyDeleteAnd everyone talked how Obama was in bed with the Islamic countries. He didn't come even close compared to Trump.
Crypto is the future. Iran knows it as well as other Brics countries. Moshe is right, America's evenutal economic collapse will lead to economic catastrophe for Israel as well.
