Al-Monitor: Israel weighs options, timing of possible military strike on Iran
Despite deadlock in Vienna, expert/technical talks may have a faint pulse.
The parties to the now-fractured accord on Iran’s nuclear program, as well as the United States (which withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, in May 2018), are unlikely to reach an agreement this week on piecing a deal back together.
Veteran US diplomat Aaron David Miller writes at CNN this week that “having spent a couple decades in and around failing Arab-Israeli negotiations, I know a negotiation that's in serious trouble when I see one.”
Israel, meanwhile, has been on a diplomatic blitz to scuttle the talks while pitching and prepping for a military option as the best means, at the appropriate time, to thwart a possible Iranian nuclear weapon.

ReplyDeleteWhat a crock of bullshit. Don't you just love the specifics of that statement? LOL, its all about ego with this "diplomat" and printed without question by the disreputable institution known as CNN!
The Haaretz article is laughable-- as if the USA is going to shelter Israel under its nuclear umbrella! Israel has its own nuclear weapons, with technology stolen from the USA. Let Israel either make peace or go to war on it's own. In either case, the USA has been sheltering Israel for far too long. I'm sure Mossad has blackmail dirt on the Irainin mullahs--Israel is expert on using blackmail...as the leadership of the USA over the past 20 years is well aware. USA--hands off please.
