Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday condemned world powers engaged in nuclear talks with Iran for allegedly softening the demands on the Islamic Republic, as he pushed through additional economic sanctions.
“After a few rounds of talks – I am sorry to say that the demands from Iran are not enough,” Netanyahu said during a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies.”I hoped the P5+1 will demand that Iran halt all enrichment – but instead they are lowering their demands from Iran.”
The P5+1 – Russia, China, France, Britain, the United States and Germany – failed to come to an agreement with Iran in the last round of talks in Baghdad. They demanded Iran stop 20 percent enrichment of uranium, despite being offered wider access to non-nuclear sites in Iran and despite the authoritative consensus of the U.S. intelligence community that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons and has demonstrated no intention to do so.
Netanyahu is now pushing through additional sanctions on Iran, limiting Israeli investment in corporations that have “major business connections” with Iran. “Not only do we need to tighten the sanctions on Iran, we also need to toughen the demands from Iran and see their implementation.”
Given that the threat of a nuclear Iran is nonexistent, its clear Israel’s bluster about Iran has little to do with fears of an Iranian bomb over Tel Aviv. As former CIA Middle East analyst Paul Pillar has written, “the Iran issue” provides a “distraction” from international “attention to the Palestinians’ lack of popular sovereignty.”
For the Obama administration, Iran’s right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes is not being denied outright. They admit Iran has not nuclear weapons program. But they are determined to prevent Iran from so-called “nuclear capability” – not because of proliferation concerns, but because such a deterrent would hinder U.S. efforts at regime change.
Bibi, have you ever thought that 5+1 don't like you, or might not like you at all..? I think at least 4 of them don't like you at all and rest are thinking if they will ever like you and willing to leave you alone with your personal problem, they don't like you because you don't like anyone, you are just angry all the time and you are at war with every man and women in this world, accept your own, whats wrong with you beside being morally, ethically and truly out of touch with human being and humanity.
Bibi said this & Bibi said that. Bibi is a spoiled child always demanding. US is the soft hearted Mommy who will raise a rutten mided child who will go awry someday and end up causing problems to his dear Mommy. No problem with that because Mommy will always be ready to bail Bibi out with bank account which is covered by the sheeple.
Benjamin Netanyahu won't rest until he has his war with Iran – maybe Iran should launch a preemptive attack on Israel?
Maybe the rest of the world should tell 'Bibi' to just go to Hell.
GO TO HELL, BIBI! When does your term expire, for God's sake? The US needs to quit giving him his allowance! Go suck a lemon!
Does this guy ever kinow how to keep his mouth shut? He keeps acting like a noisy brat for his big daddy, the US.
Israel is pushing through additional sanctions on Iran, even as everyone admits Iran has no weapons program – while Israel is in breach of every internacional laws and basic norms. With ITS illegal, undeclared arsenal of WMD, collosal theft of land and ongoing, Israels regime represents the greatest dander to World Peace. Even if nobody really buys the crap about Irans nonexisting nukes, all this warmongering and distruction of people serves Israels in other ongoing crimes against humanity… There will be no peace and wars will be executed as long as This Truly Satanic regime occupays Palestine.
