The Israel-Iran conflict could lead to a new nuclear agreement, analysts say

Israel’s precision strike on Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure could open a rare strategic window for the Trump administration. Experts saying to Fox News Digital, the United States have the possibility of putting pressure on Tehran towards a nuclear agreement – which could not have been carried out by diplomacy alone.

The Israeli army told Fox News Digital that the operation in Iran had been carried out by Israeli forces but in coordination with the United States. While American troops did not participate in the attack, defense cooperation continued throughout the strike – and during Iran’s reprisals on Friday, when American forces helped intercept Iranian missile attacks against such Aviv.

“It was an Israeli operation,” said an FDI official, “but we were closely coordinated with the Americans. There was real -time information and continuous contacts.”

Avner Golov, vice-president of the Israel spirit, told Fox News Digital “We are not trying to shoot the United States-Israel is the right model for what a responsible ally looks like: doing hard work, asking for minimal support and providing strategic value.”

He added: “No one wants a war. Israel obtained this result in a few days. It was effective and disciplined. We do not want to stay in an prolonged war – and certainly do not want to drag the United States in one. Israel is the model – a means for the United States to remain influencing globally thanks to a partner that gives results with minimal investment.”

Robert Greenway, director of the Allison Center for National Security at the Heritage Foundation, said: “The president’s messaging has taken care to distinguish that these attacks are unilateral Israeli actions – not largely to prevent a participant – and Iran cannot manage Israel, not to mention the United States.”

“The president clearly indicated that he preferred a diplomatic solution,” added Greenway, “I think it was sincere, even if he knows the Iranians very well. He provided that the prospects could have been distant – but it was worth trying.”

Israeli analyst and journalist from Yediot Ahronot Nadav Eyal told Fox News Digital that the operation reflects a deliberate strategy of “bad cop, good cop” – with Israel applying military pressure and the United States positioned to extract diplomatic gains.

“The president essentially says this on the file: you have been struck by the Israelis. Now we have signed a good agreement, and we are ready to sign an agreement …”

Eyal added that part of the media coverage before the attack may have been deliberately misleading, part of a broader psychological operation to confuse Iran leadership at the moment and the scope of the strike.

“We have information stressing the possibility that a large part of the published publications and stories pointing after Sunday, after negotiations with Oman, and the fact that the Americans would play with this role which contributes to another major cooperation, between Israel and the United States, with regard to the strike.”

Avner Golov, vice-president of the Israel spirit, told Fox News Digital that the strike was the culmination of a wider Israeli campaign to neutralize three fronts: Hamas in Gaza, the Iranian proxy network in the region, and now the nuclear program inside Iran.

“Since October 7, we have been fighting two wars – one on the Palestinian Front in Gaza, and another against Iran, which has invested in a large network of proxies, regional partnerships and a missile and UAV program. In the past year and a half, we hit the third strategic affair.”

Golov said it’s time for the United States to intervene and transmitting a message that climbing will trigger the American consequences – not just Israeli.

“In the end, what we want is that the United States tells Iran: ‘Israel has struck your nuclear and military targets, avoided civil infrastructure and has not touched the regime. If you degrees now … take into account the fact that we are now, and it is a different game.’ ‘”

He stressed that military victory must now be sealed with a political event – ideally, which brings Iran back to the negotiation table. “The nuclear problem cannot be resolved by a single military event, but that creates a solid base for a political base. Coordination with the United States is absolutely crucial.”

Greenway told Fox News Digital, “after taking the strike, as the president said, this may open the door to continuous negotiation. There are obviously different circumstances now. Iran has less capacity than yesterday – and will have even less tomorrow.

Smoke increases after an explosion in Tehran, Iran, Friday June 13, 2025. Israel attacked the Iranian capital on Friday, with booming explosions through Tehran.

“Each passing day, each strike that landed, Iran has less to offer in resistance. At one point, I think there is a good possibility that they choose to negotiate.”

The strike also revealed an American involvement on the defensive front. While Iran has launched missiles to Israeli cities, US forces have helped intercept them – a movement said officials have demonstrated an American commitment without triggering a climb.

“In practice, it is our best collective opportunity to do as much damage to Iran’s nuclear program and their offensive reprisals capacities as possible,” said Greenway. “From a strictly military point of view, it is a window of opportunity.”

Trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement of origin during his first mandate, citing his inability to prevent the long -term nuclear nuclear weapons of Tehran. Although he insisted that Iran will never be allowed to obtain a bomb, recent reports suggest that it could support a revised agreement which allows uranium enrichment for civil purposes.

Golov said that the figures are now promoting the United States if it is acting quickly. “We have optimized our figures and hit theirs. Finally, the Iranians will have to accept the American proposal – and this proposal should be on the table now.”
