Trump's options after the loss!
The date of the elections in Israel and the American mid-term elections was a subject of anticipation and concern for the possibility of a renewed war in Iran and thus in Lebanon and the region.
For Netanyahu, the war was and still is a need to achieve achievements that will forgive his internal and external sins.
As for Trump, the war was not necessary, but the agreement with Iran according to the conditions to get him out of the swamp was his main goal.
Iran played on the contradictions of both sides and practiced the craft of negotiations under normal control. It bought time between raising the threat level and showing flexibility in negotiations. She managed to drag Trump to a historic defeat in the midterm elections. By the admission of Trump himself and his deputy, De Vance, the Iran war was a fundamental reason for his humiliating loss of the House and Senate.
Netanyahu withdrew from the elections, even if he did not obtain a majority that would allow him to form a government. The decision to go to war was and still is in Trump's hands. The question now is: Will Trump launch an attack against Iran in an attempt to achieve what he was unable to achieve before, or will he give up on negotiations and conclude an agreement with Iran in order to calm the energy market, make it easier for American citizens and restore the trust of the Republicans?
Preparations for war are still ongoing, with more mobilizations and plans, but its results are not guaranteed, and an agreement without it has many obstacles, especially since Iran saw Trump as in crisis and defeated militarily and politically.
Those who follow the comments of American and Western political experts and researchers suggest that the possibility of a return to war will decrease, but with Trump's biography and his temperamental and narcissistic personality, logical calculations and expectations remain illogical!
