Politico: Trump has repeatedly urged Iran to engage in negotiations with him, while saying that Tehrans nuclear ambitions are his chief concern
His aides and allies, meanwhile, have recently suggested that Iran and other countries should follow the guidelines of a deal they themselves have shunned as worthless.
At times, analysts and former officials say, it sounds like Trump wants to strike a deal that essentially mirrors the agreement that his White House predecessor inked even if hed never be willing to admit it. Iranian officials seem willing to egg him on. The administrations confusing messaging is a result of warring between two major factions, U.S. officials say, with Trump in his own separate lane.

I don't see Bibi and the RW Israelis going along with that (unless they get something else in return.)
