Plan A (Regime Change) Failed — The US-Israeli strategy to topple the Islamic Republic through military strikes and pressure backfired, instead strengthening national unity and defiance in Iran, leading to a new regional balance of power favoring Tehran.

Plan B (Deceit via MoU) Under Strain — The US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding is viewed by many in Iran as a tactical ploy to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and buy time, rather than a genuine path to peace, with growing distrust on both sides and internal US divisions (Vance vs. Rubio).

Netanyahu and Israel Losing Ground — The war has not achieved Israel’s broader objectives, with senior Israeli figures now criticizing Netanyahu for strategic miscalculations, including the assassination of Khamenei, which has led to a more unpredictable and extreme Iranian leadership.

Plan ‘A’ was to topple the Islamic Republic which was seen as nothing more than a fragile house of cards. That collapse – it was expected – would ripple through, and take down several connected Axis of Resistance fronts, according to the analysis of Mossad and interlinked Israeli power centres in the U.S. (Certain U.S. officials did, however, entertain doubts).

The prediction of a popular uprising in Iran has proved to have been a strategic mistake of such bearing that per contra, it catalysed a stronger, more defiant and assertive Republic. Even Israeli experts admit that the false premise underlying the war has generated a new balance of power in the Middle East. Until then, a top Israeli military commentator (Alon Ben David) could say, Israel was the ‘go-to’ address in the Middle East for the world’s interests; but that from now on, the ‘go-to’ state is, and will be, Iran. That comment exemplified the extent to which a Rubicon had been crossed.

So the collective pro-Zionist bloc has shifted to plan ‘B’ – a ‘deceit’ based on the MoU, which were Trump’s interpretations to be accepted by Iran (unlikely), would effectively lead to the disarming of Iran through a nuclear agreement that would strip the state naked by virtue of its ‘verification’ requirements: Intrusive, ‘go-anywhere’ surprise IAEA inspections of ‘secret underground sites’ and interrogations of scientists and research academies. All would (again) be exposed.

Taken in tandem with Plan ‘B’s wider Israeli........
