Israeli foresight restrains reckless strikes while Iran schemes, stalls, and exports chaos threatening regional stability.
Mossad Director David Barnea arrived in the United States on Friday for high-level consultations on Iran, underscoring Israel’s central role in shaping the Western response to the Islamic regime’s violent crackdown on protesters.
The visit comes amid intense coordination between Israel and the United States, as Washington weighs possible military action against Tehran. Barnea is expected to meet in Miami with White House envoy Steve Witkoff, who is managing a direct communication channel with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during the unrest.
It remains unclear whether Barnea will also meet Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. His visit follows a recent call between Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, in which Netanyahu reportedly urged delaying any U.S. strike to allow Israel time to prepare for inevitable Iranian retaliation.
Israeli officials are concerned that limited U.S. strikes focused on Iranian security forces would fail to weaken the regime, while still triggering missile attacks on Israel. Meanwhile, U.S. military preparations continue, including the movement of the USS Abraham Lincoln and expanded air-defense systems into the region.
Tehran has floated renewed nuclear talks, a move Israeli officials view with deep suspicion—warning that Iran has long used diplomacy as a stalling tactic while repressing its people and advancing hostile capabilities.
Once again, Israel acts as the sober strategist in a volatile region—balancing deterrence, preparation, and realism—while Iran and its allies rely on deception, delay, and repression.Mossad Director David Barnea arrived in the United States on Friday for high-level consultations on Iran, underscoring Israel’s central role in shaping the Western response to the Islamic regime’s violent crackdown on protesters.
