Israel continues to express its opposition to the Biden administration rejoining the 2015 Iran nuclear deal known as the JCPOA. According to The Jerusalem Post, Israeli ministers shared their concern over the situation at a cabinet meeting on Sunday.
“The Americans want a deal at all costs and the Iranians know it,” one minister said at the meeting. The minister told the Post that the US is open to hearing Israeli concerns but doesn’t seem to be taking them seriously.
Other Israeli officials spoke with media outlets following the Sunday cabinet meeting. One official told Axios: “We will not be surprised if within weeks the US and other world powers sign a deal with Iran.”
While the Israelis are concerned, President Biden appears to be in no hurry to give Iran sanctions relief and rejoin the JCPOA. US-Iran talks are ongoing in Vienna, and parties involved are reporting progress, but the US still seems to be a long way from lifting sanctions.
Israel is also expressing its opposition to the deal through covert attacks against Iran. The latest incident was an attack on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, which caused Tehran to start enriching some uranium at 60 percent.
The US is distancing itself from the Natanz attack and reportedly sent a message to Israel voicing its displeasure over the incident, but no US officials have taken a public stance against the sabotage.
“The minister told the Post that the US is open to hearing Israeli concerns but doesn’t seem to be taking them seriously.”
Maybe it’s because it has been the same tired bullshit they have been using since 1992 while sitting on their own stockpile of actual nukes.
As long as sanctions remain, the 60% enrichment continues…! It would be US giving up at some point in the future versus Iran…!
95% is a short distance away, the next political step. Then they pull out and go for a bomb.
They don’t want to. It might not even be possible. But they are being cornered, by Israel, in Israel’s attempt to force the hand of the US to attack Iran.
Appeasement did not work the last time, and it won’t work this times.
Glad you’re coming around to opposing appeasement. But what will your Israeli friends think if the appeasement checks stop coming?
Israel wants to prevent a deal at all costs.
It wants the US to attack Iran. That is the only outcome acceptable to Israel.
Therefore, Israel is sabotaging all efforts toward peace, including but not limited to the Deal.
