Report: Trump likely to reject Iranian proposal

Commentary

Iran forces Trump to make a choice, the price could be war

July 12, 2026

Tehran is betting that Trump does not want a large-scale war and will prefer to focus on preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon while accepting Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s new leadership is pragmatic enough to pursue an agreement, but not to relinquish what it sees as a crucial source of leverage. The situation could spiral beyond Iran’s control, and Trump’s, ending in escalation.

Hamas signals openness to Gaza disarmament

Analysis

Hamas is marketing the Hezbollah model, and not for the first time

The terrorist organization is not truly prepared to give up power as long as it refuses to disarm.

Fifty-two heads of state will gather for NATO's annual summit in Turkey, which is set to become an unprecedented font of confrontation. On one side is the worsening clash between the isolationist Trump administration and many European countries. On the other is the meteoric rise of Erdogan as a central axis in the alliance. While the US president lavishes praise and military assistance on Turkey, and Europe courts its enormous army, Israel is watching the Turkish president's growing strength with concern.
