The inauguration of Iranian President Hassan Rohani over the weekend finally puts the pro-diplomacy candidate into a position to make good on his campaign promises for negotiations with the US and a rapprochement over the nation’s nuclear program.
Rohani’s reasonableness isn’t sitting well with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who from the moment the election ended began campaigning against diplomacy and is now ramping up his threats to attack Iran unilaterally before the talks can really get off the ground.
Netanyahu’s campaign has the Obama Administration toning down expectations for talks, but at the same time it seems like a unilateral Israeli attack right now would be hugely unpopular, especially as hopes for negotiations rise.
That means such a strike is likely “plan B,” while Netanyahu is instead focusing on getting the US Congress to keep up the hostile rhetoric and push Obama against giving diplomacy any serious consideration. The early indications are he’s been effective, as an overwhelming majority of the Senate is pushing against talks.
Of course, Netanyahu hates any reasonableness out of Iran. It interferes with his plans to get us to destroy Iran. Israel is a paranoid, evil country that seemingly gets its pleasure from destroying all of its neighbors, whether they are a threat or not. It is to our shame, that we ally with these monsters.
Bucking the Israel-Firsters in Congress is a very hard slog.
Whew… I sure am glad Israel has resumed beating the war drums. For a few minutes, I was afraid that peace might break out…
Binyamine (Mr. Potato Head) does not want peace. He wants weapons of mass destruction so he can have a false sense of security. He wants power because he has no real life to speak of. Good people are busy doing good things.
There is no greater terrorist other Bibi. This mendacious clown needs a beat down in the worst way. Any attack on Iran by Israel will be Israel's end. period.
The on going threat from Israel to attack Iran is at it's peak! There is more danger that Israel will attack Iran, because they don't want any peace process to work. STAY TUNED!!!
I've said this a million times but I suppose I have to say it a million more, If Iran wants a nuclear program ensure they are developing CANDU reactors. Unlike the American and Russian Breeder reactors which produce weaponized by products, the only thing a CANDU reactors waste would be good for is a dirty bomb, which terrorists can already get with relative ease.
Fortunately for Netanyahu, the US Treasury Department is lousy with Zionists dedicated to nonstop harassment and interference in Iran's business, financial and economic affairs. It is quite extraordinary. You'd think Treasury is an Israeli agency.
