Given the wall-to-wall coverage of the US and its war on Iran, it looks very much like Trump is the key player. The United States may have far more military power than Israel, but the key player is Benjamin Netanyahu. For Israel, and indirectly for the US, the war has to end in total victory.

That may be very cautious optimism, but better than the current prospect which is weeks and months of this horrific, escalating war.
