Former head of Israel's military intelligence, Tamir Heiman, said the agreement falls short of securing the war's objectives. He argued that, had they known the outcome, the war should not have been started. He claims the deal guarantees the survival of the Iranian regime, provides Iran with generous economic lifelines, and grants it extensive influence in the Middle East, including control over movements in the Strait of Hormuz with Oman and the imposition of a cease‑fire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon to unify fronts.
