A potential agreement between the US and Iran could seriously impact the political image that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has built over many years. This was reported by the Reuters news agency, citing analysts, former US officials, and diplomats.
It is noted that Netanyahu has for years presented himself as Israel's most decisive leader on the Iranian issue and has insisted that he has a decisive influence on shaping Washington's policy towards Tehran. According to his political position, the only effective way to stop Iran has been constant military pressure.
According to Reuters sources, Netanyahu, especially after gaining Republican support in the US, has tried to portray himself as the only Israeli leader capable of influencing successive US presidents' decisions on Iran.
However, according to analysts, reaching an agreement between Washington and Tehran would be a serious blow to these views. Netanyahu may now be forced not to define US policy towards Iran, but to accept it.
Thus, a potential agreement may have a stronger impact not on Israel's security strategy, but on Benjamin Netanyahu's long-standing political reputation and his image of influence in foreign policy.
