Senior Arab affairs i24NEWS commentator Tzvi Yechezkeli addressed the U.S.-Iran agreement on Tuesday morning, warning that its consequences for Israel are already becoming apparent.

“For years, Israel provided the US with intelligence showing that Iran lies, conceals, and misleads the world,” Yechzekeli stated, adding that this deceit is precisely the central concern surrounding the agreement’s nuclear provisions, particularly the decision to allow Iran to continue enriching uranium.

He noted that the rhetoric in Tehran already reflects a sense of confidence and triumph, with Iranian officials openly mocking the international community after preserving key elements of their nuclear program.

He also pointed to the growing erosion of Israeli deterrence across multiple fronts, including increased stone-throwing attacks in Yehuda and Shomron, Hezbollah’s conduct in the north, and the growing assertiveness displayed by Iran and Qatar toward Israel.

“We are beginning to see the first signs of the damage,” he said. “Reports that Iran continues to deceive the world likely won’t trouble Trump too much. Even in the past, US intelligence was aware of this, but Washington continued negotiating with Tehran.”

Yechzekeli ended on a more cautiously optimistic note, emphasizing that realities in the Middle East can change quickly. “One shift in the balance of power or interests is enough to turn the entire picture upside down.”
