US-Iran Deal Criticized as Temporary Truce Ahead of Midterm Elections

Sagiv Steinberg, CEO of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA), has pointed the finger directly at the reality of the deal, saying that it is not a permanent peace agreement. It is just a temporary 60-day truce in view of the upcoming midterm elections in the United States. According to Steinberg, the US administration has not achieved any of its main goals in this war. According to Steinberg, this relaxation will give Iran a huge amount of money. Iran will use this money to reinvigorate its dangerous proxy organizations like Hezbollah and the Houthis. The biggest concern is that the deal does not provide a concrete solution to Iran's nuclear program. On the other hand, former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has also warned the world about this agreement. He has called Iran an "apocalyptic regime." He said that although this agreement is very soon, it will not be considered a long-term relief to the global forces.
