Trump sees peace between Iran and Israel soon, eyes Putin roleWASHINGTON, June 15 (Reuters) - conflict between Israel  Iran escalatingTrump expressed optimism Sunday peace would come soon cited possibility Vladimir Putin could helpTrump said there were many unspecified meetings about issue he was open to Putin, serving as a mediator.Then over in child-abuse land Macron says he does not agree for Putin to mediate. 


Macron rejects Trump's idea for Putin to mediate Israel-Iran crisisMacron said Russia lacked credibility to mediate between Israel and Iran Macron said he rejected such an idea."I do not believe that Russiacan be a mediator" Macron saidMy Comments:
A mediator is a person who can be trusted by all sides to a conflict. Mr Putin has good relations with the Ayatollahs  and Russia has a very long and little known military relationship with Israel until today over Syria - their air forces share FOF codes 'Friend or Foe' recognition. So that both the Israeli and Russian Air Forces do not shoot each other over Syria (unlike Turkey which 'accidentally' shot down a Russian jet over Syria). 
Also it is best to ask Israel and Iran first if they mind Russia as a mediator. Until then it is best for Macron to find a mediator between him and his abusive wife.
However mediation may not work because for the Israelis this is a specific combat operation with specific objectives - to cripple the Ayatollahs nuclear program and to take out their ballistic missiles capabilities (manufacturing, storage, launch sites). They appear to have a time frame (15 days?) in which they hope to achieve their mission objectives. This is a military operation. It is not a political issue or a tussle over territory.
For the Ayatollahs they absolutely have no military objective at all why they got involved in this conflict. An apartment building has been destroyed by one Iranian ballistic missile but that will not drive the Jews into the sea. Because the balance of their 99 ballistic missiles were blown out of the sky (or fell in Jordan). 
It is most likely that by the time any mediation can begin this conflict will be over.  
This offer of mediation can actually prolong the conflict. The Israelis have established complete air dominance over Iran. Now with 'peace negotiations' the Israelis can keep flying some of their warplanes over Teheran to embarass the Ayatollahs into an 'agreement'.  Also if Mr Putin becomes a mediator then Russia cannot replenish Iran with the Russian weapons which have been destroyed. (So dont you think the Israelis are behind this 'lets bring Putin as mediator' offer?)
