The geopolitical tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran have reached a critical juncture, with significant diplomatic and military maneuvers occurring simultaneously. According to Al Jazeera, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss Iran's ballistic missile program, which Netanyahu considers a 'red line.' This meeting comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran talks, which the Quincy Institute's Trita Parsi describes as having 'changing goal posts,' leaving little room for success. The Daily Times reports that Israel is actively lobbying in Washington to influence U.S. decisions on Iran and regional military deals, including halting F-35 fighter jet sales to Saudi Arabia and Turkey. These efforts underscore Israel's desire to maintain its military technological edge and its concern over Iran's regional influence.
