Much of the media, and at least some government insiders who collude with them in pushing dubious narratives, want you to believe President Trump is breaking with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu over Iran negotiations; expect such lies to get louder and more self-assured the longer those talks drag on.

The two nations’ interests aren’t identical, nor are the two leaders’ — but reports of a growing divide are mainly an effort to create one.

Take the Axios story claiming Trump screamed at Bibi the other night for fighting back after Hezbollah launched fresh attacks on Israel: We hear the friction was in fact two-way, after Trump posted something suggesting Israel had agreed to do nothing while a Netanyahu tweet seemed to indicate full-scale fighting was back on.

OK: The president confirmed to our own Miranda Devine that he called Bibi “effing crazy,” but also gave key context: “I like Bibi a lot, and I work very well with him”; this was a blip in relations between “a wartime president” and “a wartime prime minister.”

In reality, Jerusalem is limiting its counterattacks, while Washington understands that the IDF can’t do nothing when terrorists are firing rockets at civilians; wartime allies work this stuff out.

Meanwhile, these same media interests (and their favored sources) love nothing more than to treat the endless bluster from various Iranian figures at face value, when most of it means nothing at all because none of them are the actual decision-makers in Tehran.

“Reports” that the Islamic Republic is refusing to end the war without $1 trillion in reparations, an end to all sanctions, international recognition of its right to unrestricted uranium enrichment and toll power over the Strait of Hormuz add up to nothing: Washington won’t agree to any of it, and Tehran lacks the power to impose its will.

Iran doesn’t dare let the war reopen in full, though it’s willing to keep the cease-fire stalemated while it digs out of some of the damage from the first phase, and the regime’s factions try to work out their differences.

Those “demands” are as meaningless as Iranian threats to destroy US forces all across the region and so on.

Even more absurd is the idea that Tehran won’t take peace unless Jerusalem agrees to Hezbollah’s fascist domination of southern Lebanon and constant bombardment of the Israeli north.

Sorry: No country in the world can sit quiet in the face of nonstop terrorist rocket fire, and the leader of any democracy who tried would be rapidly hounded from office.

The reporters (and their sources) who pretend Trump wants Bibi to do that are willfully ignoring these obvious facts to paint their preferred illusions — with no worry at all for how it serves the interests of Iran’s rulers.

After two months with basically zero public information on the US-Iran talks (and Trump’s posts don’t count any more than Iran’s bluster), it’s inevitable that the press resorts to offering disinformation; indeed, the fact that the Western media will rush to smear Trump is likely part of Tehran’s calculations in stretching out negotiations.

In our minds, that’s just one more reason to call the Iranians’ bluff, force the strait open and leave the Islamic Republic to rot.
