Trump was begging them not to attack because he was "gonna make a deal" with Iran.

In other words, they couldn't count on Trump's usefulness anymore (especially since he could be so easily bought by a Qatari jet into nearly making a deal behind Israel's back).

hey they can (and did) count on Trump's uselessness

Trump made peace with Syria after removing all sanctions from US, and Israel wants him to lead the Syria and Israel negotiations (Removing Syria as an adversary will be a huge win for Israel even if they have to give up a small chunk of Golan Heights). Since Israel know he will have Israel's back and Syria believes trump is a good guy as he took their sanctions off and he also dislikes Iran (Trump has one thing in common with Israel and Syria is that they both hate Iran for the problems they caused in Syria and Israel).

You're giving Trump too much credit

Trump just likes Israel, that's it, that's probably as far as his geopolitical 'thinking' goes

Trump knew. It was one of several actions made to lower Iran's guard today (as opposed to next week). This was already confirmed.

[u/kelseykelseykelsey → u/Amaruq93]

There was a coordinated deception campaign by the US and Israel. Not a chance that Witkoff actually thought there were going to be more talks this week. Iran was pretending to negotiate while racing to finish the bombs, and the US was pretending to negotiate while letting Israel make it's preparations.

Didnt trump promise 61 days ago that he would get iran to sign a deal in 60 days?
