Iran-US-Israel Ceasefire Deal Never Achieved: Trump to Blame Vance.

Just as Israel ended the 2025 Gaza ceasefire due to it continuing to bomb, shell and occupy Gaza - Israel is doing its utmost to frustrate the Iran-US-Israel ceasefire by increasing its war against Hezbollah, and many more civilians, in Lebanon. Trump will blame Vance for negotiating no ceasefire deal on April 11, 2026 even though Trump's son-in-law (nepotism) Jared Kushner and golfing buddy Steve Witkoff were also key negotiators.

Israel has attempted for decades to embroil the US in a joint Israel/US air offensive against Iran. Now the joint air offensive has been triggered Netanyahu doesn't want to loosen his control over serial interventionist Trump.

Two considerations are:

-  Israel Katz, Defense Minister, is even more hardline nationalist than Netanyahu, hence more strongly opposed to peace with Iran. Israel's increased bombing of Lebanon are an effort to hinder peace with Iran.

-  Israel is not under domestic pressure to the extent of many countries from the decline of oil and gas via the Hormuz Strait. Israel extracts its natural gas needs (even exports gas) from its eastern Mediterranean gas fields. Israel's oil needs are 70% from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. These supplies mainly come via a pipeline through Turkey. Its other major oil sources include Gabon, Brazil and even Russia.
