Israel and Iran are ideological foes, and last June, Israel and Iran pummeled each other with missiles and explosive drones.

The U.S.

then hit Iranian nuclear facilities with massive bombs.

Mayram Zanshain is an analyst with the advisory nonprofit International Crisis Group in Israel.

And she says Israel believes its military pressure on Iran has been successful in destabilizing it.

But she also says Israel is first watching what the U.S.

does or does not do in Iran before acting and is now nervous the U.S.

will cut a deal with Iran over its nuclear program.
