Oded Eilam, former head of Mossad's counter-terrorism division and a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and State Security, criticized US actions in negotiations with Iran. According to him, despite serious damage from strikes, Tehran feels it is the stronger side and believes it has an advantage over the US. Eilam said: 'The American behavior is outrageous. The Americans have failed to turn military successes into strategic achievements.' He noted that Iran repeatedly crosses red lines, and Washington takes no decisive action. The researcher warned that excessive focus on the Strait of Hormuz could distract from the threat of Iran's nuclear program being revived. In his view, Israel must retain the ability to independently thwart Iran's attempts to resume its nuclear program, even if it leads to a crisis with the US.
