TLDW; Apparently Trump's real concern with the Obama Iran deal was that U.S. companies were left in the lurch by primary sanctions when EU countries were freed from secondary sanctions. Israel really wanted the U.S. to fight the Houthis and Iran and the U.S. just struck a deal with the Houthis that leaves out Israel. Once Assad fell, Israeli media pivoted to painting Turkey as a threat even though Turkey is a NATO country with relations to Israel because the real goal is for there not to be a rival to Israel in the region.
