It looks like Israel is starting to build an off ramp:

The whole nuclear bomb hysteria was bullshit anyway, but now they can claim their 'special operation' was a success.

Israeli foreign minister claims attacks on Iran set back its building of a nuclear bomb by "2 or 3 years"

Israel has delayed the possibility of Iran building a nuclear bomb by “at least two or three years” after carrying out its recent strikes on the country, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has claimed in an interview.

“What we did until now was already very significant. I believe we, according to the assessment we hear, we already delayed for at least two or three years the possibility for (Iran) to have (a) nuclear bomb,” Sa’ar said in an interview with the Axel Springer media group published today.

The fact that Israel has killed a number of Iranian military officials since June 13 is “extremely important,” Sa’ar said, noting that he does not “believe” in diplomacy with Iran.

“I don’t believe so much in diplomacy with Iran. All diplomatic efforts until now was not successful,” he said. “We already achieved a lot, but we will do whatever we can do. We will not stop until we will do everything that we can do there in order to remove this threat (from Iran),” Sa’ar added.

Nevertheless Israel will keep going as long as they can, yet this suggest Trump is hopefully not ready to jump in with US bombers. However the damage to international law and IAEA / NPT will keep growing the longer the UNSC lets this go on.

And there's still the question whether Netanyahu will be crazy enough to bomb Bushehr active Nuclear plant. That could shut down the straight of Hormuz by radio activity, 20% of world's oil trade blocked.
