An editorial in *Dawn* newspaper expresses concern that Israel may actively work to undermine ongoing efforts towards a potential thaw in relations between the United States and Iran. The piece argues that a US-Iran understanding, even a limited one, would not align with Israel’s strategic interests, particularly regarding regional dominance and perceived threats. It suggests Israel has a history of opposing US diplomatic initiatives it views as detrimental to its security. The editorial highlights the potential for Israel to lobby against any agreement in Washington and to engage in provocative actions designed to derail negotiations. It posits that Israel may prefer maintaining the status quo of heightened tensions, or even escalating conflict, rather than accepting a changing regional landscape. The author warns that such interference could have significant consequences for regional stability and the prospects for peace. Ultimately, the editorial frames Israel’s potential actions as a serious obstacle to a more peaceful resolution of tensions with Iran.
