The US and Israel held the second session of a strategic group to coordinate on Iran on Tuesday. The talks are headed by each country’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan for the US side, and Meir Ben Shabbat for the Israelis.
Details of what was discussed on Tuesday are scant. In a readout of the meeting, the White House said that Sullivan “reaffirmed the Biden-Harris administration’s unwavering commitment to Israel’s security and to ensuring that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.”
The meeting comes as the US and Iran are engaged in indirect talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which Israel is strongly opposed to. The Israelis are taking covert action to sabotage the diplomacy. An attack over the weekend at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility was attributed to Israel by unnamed officials speaking to the media, which is the usual way Israelis take credit for covert action.
Iran responded to the Natanz attack by announcing it will begin enriching some uranium at 60 percent. It’s not clear how this decision will impact talks with the US.
The US is trying to distance itself from the Natanz attack, but considering the US and Israel are coordinating so closely on Iran, it’s hard to believe the US had no prior knowledge of the planned sabotage.
Last week, an Iranian ship was attacked in the Red Sea. A US official told The New York Times that Israel was responsible for the Red Sea attack and notified the US shortly after it happened.
Yeah. Its OK for Israel to have “nukes” but NOT for Iran. WHY?
Because Iran wants to destroy Israel, and not vice versa
Rinse and repeat. Sooner or later it will be true. At least in your mind. But meanwhile it is Israel that indiscriminately bombs Iranian militias welcomed in Syria, assassinates nuclear scientists and once again sabotages Iran’s nuclear sites that could have catastrophic consequences. So one threatens, at least in your mind, and one actually does.
The best defense is a good offense,especially when you cannot afford to loose a war of attrition.
The irony in all this, covered up by the Lying Media, is that Israel DOES have nukes and keeps them as secret as they can, while Iran says that it will NEVER develop nuclear weapons and calls for the abolishment of them! How can it be good for mankind that Israel gets away with blind aggression almost daily and everyone else on Israel/USA’s target list gets sanctioned for sneezing!
Israel never signed the NPT, therefore, the IAEA will never be able to inspect Israeli facilities. Iran has.
And Iran should be repeating this on a daily basis until they sound like Rudy *9/11* Giuliani. Make it THE issue.
Because the hateful religious dictators of Iran will use their nukes for all sorts of conventional and guerrilla warfare against other peoples.
Which nukes would those be? The nukes that there’s zero evidence “the hateful religious dictators of Iran” are seeking to develop now, or if they ever did seek to developed, had stopped seeking to develop by 2004? The nukes that they couldn’t develop under the NPT which they were continually certified as being in compliance with upon IAEA inspections? The nukes that if they had been interested in developing, they couldn’t have developed under the JCPOA, which the Israeli regime whined like spoiled schoolkids over and which Trump violated and Biden decided to not stop violating, resulting in the current (still-sub-weapon) increased enrichment? The nukes Netanyahu has been claiming they’re six weeks away from for more than 25 years? Those nukes there?
And Pakistan, and India, and France, and U.K.. And others.
“never” is a long way from here.
Never say never!
Sullivan “reaffirmed the Biden-Harris administration’s unwavering commitment to Israel’s security and to ensuring that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.”
When you tell a child his misbehavior will be overlooked regardless of how vile that misbehavior might be, that tends to lead that child to continue or escalate that misbehavior. Not a believer in striking a child but this one needs to have its ass whooped.
