Where do the US and Israel differ on Iran strategy?

"Oman is mediating the process, which involves US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi. The US and Israel both want to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power, while keeping Tehran from expanding it regional influence and proxy militias. Iran, in its turn, is insisting that its nuclear program is peaceful, and has blustered at the attempts of limiting its influence. Its leaders, however,"

"For Trump, the main priority is to reach a new "deal" with Iran, political analyst Reza Talebi told DW. Washington is pursuing this goal through a strategy of "maximum pressure," which combines economic sanctions with military deterrence. Israel, on the other hand, attaches significantly less importance to any agreement with Tehran and fundamentally doubts the viability of any deal with the regime, according to the analyst. The Israeli government questions if Iran would adhere to agreements in the long term."

"Security analyst Shukriya Bradost told DW that it is clear the Trump administration right now is geared towards making a deal with Tehran. "To force Tehran to the negotiating table, Washington is relying on massive economic sanctions, especially against Iranian oil sales," she said, adding the aim is to systematically dry up the regime's sources of income and deny it any economic "breathing space." This policy is intended to force Iran to capitulate, or at least make far-reaching concessio"

Ties between the United States and Israel remain close, but strategic and tactical differences emerge over Iran. Oman mediates Geneva talks involving US envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Iranian foreign minister Abbas Aragchi. Both the US and Israel seek to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to curb Tehran's regional influence and proxy militias. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and has resisted limits, yet leaders may offer concessions to avoid renewed open conflict. The Trump administration prioritizes a new deal and applies "maximum pressure"—economic sanctions and military deterrence—to force Tehran to negotiate by cutting off revenue.
