President Trump has since the Republicans' midterm thrashing played down the prospect of renewed major war on Iran.

But he also on Thursday stated the United States does not need a deal with Tehran, which suggests an abondment of stalemented indirect peace talks.

"We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!" he had posted on Truth Social, referring to the Strait of Hormuz.

So in a return to square one, things could really go either way on this, and in the blink of an eye.

Is something big brewing? Clearly, Israel's Netanyahu has not given up on efforts to lobby Washington into "finishing the job" in Iran.

Axios reports Friday, "The director of the Israeli spy agency Mossad is in Washington Friday for talks with senior Trump administration officials about the war in Iran, according to three sources with knowledge of the matter."

"The visit by Roman Gofman, one of Benjamin Netanyahu's closest confidants, comes as the Israeli prime minister is pressing President Trump to resume the war against Iran," the report adds. And more:

The same outlet had reported just in the run-up to the midterm elections, that Netanyahu had been pressing Trump to strike Iran immediately after the vote.

But that never materialized, other than some smaller coastal strikes on defense installations, with Trump having signaled that he wants to let negotiations run their course first. Will Bibi's renewed lobbying efforts pay off for Tel Aviv?
