> Israeli authorities reportedly believe that a conflict between the United States and Iran would be more advantageous for Israel than reaching a deal. The assessment comes as Washington is said to be concentrating primarily on restoring shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Israel’s view therefore contrasts the potential benefits of continued conflict with those of an agreement. The report links that assessment directly to the US focus on reopening maritime traffic through the strait.
