...they'll get there by adopting some argument that "squares the circle" between the positions they took on the JCPOA and the position they'll end up taking on the Trump deal.
That assumes there ever is a "Trump deal". "Bibi" made it clear, a couple weeks ago. As far as he is concerned, the war is not over. Israeli water carriers in Congress, like Ted Cruz, say any deal that allows the Iranian regime to survive is not acceptable. Now Trump has a new ask: the Arab states all make kissy face with Israel.
You know my take: closing the strait, to tighten oil supplies, to drive up prices, is the objective. So far, in spite of Trump's announcing "peace is at hand" weekly, for more than two months now, I don't see anything that really points to the "negotiations" being anything more than a kabuki dance.
