War On Iran: – Netanyahoo Blocked Imminent Deal

The short version of what happened over the weekend with regards to a deal with Iran:
Trump: “WE HAVE A DEAL”
Netanyahu: “Nope”
Trump: “Deal’s off”
The longer variant:
Trump’s attempt over Friday and Saturday to come to some deal with Iran has failed.
A few hours after Trump had announced a preliminary resolution of the conflict, his boss, one Benjamin Netanyahoo, called and inserted clauses designed to prevent a deal:
President Trump and I agreed that any final agreement with Iran must eliminate the nuclear danger. That means dismantling Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites and removing its enriched nuclear material from its territory.
President Trump also reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon.
Iran’s supreme leader had rejected to move any enriched Uranian from Iran’s territory. Enrichment to Iran is a non negotiable right. The inclusion of a real ceasefire in Lebanon is also a prime condition for Iran to conclude any deal.
After the call Trump immediately changed course. The deal he had been eager to conclude hours earlier was suddenly no longer urgent.
Trump soon diverted attention by resorting to a new, mafia-like, scheme.
He threatened to (again) bomb Iran. Iran, he claims, would then retaliate against Arab U.S. proxies in the Gulf. To prevent that, Trump says, those proxy states should immediately sign a peace deal with Israel:
“Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!
During my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.
…
If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.
…
Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords …
Of course none of those countries even replied to that nonsense.
A deal with Iran is (again) off the table. Meanwhile the severe damage of the conflict to the global and U.S. economy is accumulating by the day.
Time is not on Trump’s side. He urgently needs a deal. But to get there he needs to get Netanyahoo off his back. How to do that is the really difficult question.
