The United States and Israel must forge a parallel agreement on Iran, preventing a repeat of 2015 JCPOA failures and addressing current U.S.-Iranian nuclear talks that risk offering Tehran significant relief for minimal concessions, despite a memorandum reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Israel views the Iranian threat as existential, aiming for regime change after U.S.-Israeli strikes in June 2025 and 2026 protests.
To prevent Iran's recovery during the 60-day memorandum, the U.S. should maintain a large Gulf naval presence, expand intelligence, and establish regional defense. Both countries must sustain economic pressure on Iran, conditioning sanctions relief on verifiable concessions, and revive interagency working groups to coordinate military threats, intelligence, sanctions, and infrastructure defense. A U.S.-Israeli framework should define acceptable nuclear deal parameters—including zero enrichment, no sunset clauses—and commit to long-term military aid and technology alliance.
