In Israel, many feel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Iran war goals have not been fully achieved. That may come to haunt him during elections in October.

Nearly a year after an Iranian missile destroyed his Tel Aviv apartment, Erez Vega Kadoch reflects on the new US-Iran agreement meant to end the conflict.
