Israeli officials expressed strong opposition to the Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday and stepped up threats against the Islamic Republic as the US is preparing to resume indirect negotiations with Tehran aimed at reviving the accord.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Israel “fell asleep” after the Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, was signed in 2015. He warned Israel would maintain the right to take “action” against Iran if the JCPOA is revived.
“The mistake we made after the first nuclear deal in 2015 will not repeat itself,” Bennett told a conference at Israel’s Reichman University. “From the moment the deal was signed, it affected us like a sleeping pill. Israel simply fell asleep on duty … We will learn from this mistake. We will maintain our freedom of action.”
Speaking at the same conference, Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman made similar threats, warning Israel might have to take action without the support of its allies. “We must make a decision alone,” Liberman said.
The US and Iran are resuming negotiations on November 29th. The last time the two nations started JCPOA talks back in April, Israel carried out a covert attack against Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, a clear attempt to sabotage the diplomacy.
On Sunday, The New York Times reported that US officials warned their Israeli counterparts that covert attacks against Iran’s nuclear facility are “counterproductive” since they have resulted in more uranium enrichment and more advanced centrifuged. But the report said Israeli officials disagreed and said they have no intention of “letting up.”
Bennett said Tuesday that he expects there will be “disagreement with our greatest of friends” over how to handle Iran.
Another speaker at Tuesday’s conference was Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz, who claimed Iran attempted to transport explosives to Palestinians in the West Bank via drone from a base in Syria in 2018. Like most Israeli accusations against Iran, it’s not clear if this claim is true.
Exposing the absurdity of Israel’s rhetoric against the Islamic Republic, Gantz also accused Iran of seeking world domination. “Iran’s method is simple: First we take Damascus, then we take Berlin,” he said.
Israel should dismiss America from the negotiations and take charge directly. It will time as well as effort.
First reasonable thing you have said.
Don’t be cheeky. If Israel would like its opinion on Irans civilian nuclear program to be considered, they are to at least disclose their nuclear arsenal. Otherwise they are to sit down shut up like the petulant parasite state they are. And before you deploy the only move of hasbarists, an accusation of Jew hatred, this also goes for the Saudis. Both governments are to be utterly and immediately cut off.
VAJA should sabotage Dimona
what is VAJA?
Iranian intelligence
Please explain why Israel is allowed to have so much control over world affairs.
because small hat big nose, that’s why
typical “antiwar” excrete from a man with a micro you know what
well maybe a micro hat but certainly not a micro nose.
right?
“Exposing the absurdity of Israel’s rhetoric against the Islamic Republic, Gantz also accused Iran of seeking world domination. “Iran’s method is simple: First we take Damascus, then we take Berlin,” he said.” Dave nailed it.
Not sure if it beats Netanyahu’s cartoon, but at least deserves another dishonorable mention.

I’ll use Doug Bandow’s words again: Iran, “whose total military spending is a rounding error for the Pentagon”. But, sure, they’re ready to roll into Berlin. Just gotta but them some new tanks.
I didn’t know Damascus was on the road to Berlin …
And when did Iran “take” them?
Speaking at the same conference, Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman made similar threats, warning Israel might have to take action without the support of its allies. “We must make a decision alone,” Liberman said.
Allies? He uses that term loosely. A blood sucking parasite has no allies, just a host.
reading Mein Kampf again, have you?
I have yet to read it for the first time. Not a fan. Why? Does it contain words from the dictionary like my comment does? You’re like the boy who cried “anti-Semite”.
Some criticism of Israel is fair and just, some is questionable,perhaps ignorant Some are hate speach.. A crack about “blood sucking parasite”as you have made, is a classic Nazi hate trope.Cracks about “chosen people” and “Rothchild” are more American hate tropes.
From the dictionary and not from “Mein Kampf”:
Parasite: 2. one who receives support or advantage for another without giving anything useful in return.
Chosen: 2. selected, preferred.
People: persons indefinitely or collectively.
Rothchid, from Wikipedia: A wealthy Jewish family.
So,
I called a country that collects $3.8 billion dollars a year from our taxpayers for absolutely nothing in return to those taxpayers. Sounds like a parasite to me.
I call Jewish people “chosen” the same way I call the US “exceptional”. The only difference is the Jewish people think the sky fairy has deemed them “chosen” while we just call ourselves that because we’re arrogant assholes. Although we do say the sky fair blesses us. I also think Christians that believe in the Rapture or Muslims believing in 72 virgins are just as batshit crazy as those thinking that someone is “chosen”.
I haven’t mentioned “Rothchild” but I did upvote someone who did, although not for his comment about the Rothchilds. If you want to try to twist that into me being an anti-Semite then have at it.
“Gantz also accused Iran of seeking world domination. “Iran’s method is simple: First we take Damascus, then we take Berlin,” he said.”
Keep it up guys, show all the world what unmitigated homicidal nut-jobs you are. Tell us the one about how we’re all anti-Semite terrorists, and how we need to build another holocaust museum, and how ….
Hmmm
Israel is a nation lead by racist, bigoted war mongering zio-supremacist cowards who continually rant and rave about waging war. But they do so only because they believe that the US will in fact be the ones to pay for and fight and die in any war israel might dream up.
This is rather odd considering that israel has steadfastly refused to commit any soldiers to fight for/with America’s soldiers EVER. The US bailed israel out of both the 67 and 73 wars. Without direct US intervention, israel would have lost both. In fact, with the US it is highly doubtful that israel would have survived the 1940’s, or the 50’s or the 60’s etc…
And on the few occasions that the israeli army fought more than unarmed civilians and kids with rocks by themselves, they had their butts handed to them on a platter.
Bottom line if israel wants war with Iran or anybody else for that matter than israel can pay for and fight and die for it ALL BY THEMSELVES…
As far as 1967 war, and 1973 war, the US saved Egypt and Syria .As far as the 1940’s-the US embargoed Israel.France sold arms to Israel in the 1960’w, not the US.Get your facts straight.
Hmmm
That is not actually what happened on the ground. It is however the official narrative of zio-fascists everywhere.
The US was supporting israel both publicly and clandestinely via back channels from 1948 to the present day. Without President Truman’s very controversial, Public “official” recognition of “israel” in May of 48 it is doubtful “israel” would exist today.
In point of fact virtually his entire non-jewish staff, as well as the Pentagon and virtually the entire intelligence community were all adamantly opposed to the creation of israel and Truman’s recognition of it. A position that was mirrored by the majority of the American people at the time.
As for the 67 and 73 wars, (both intentionally started by israel) most military historians (not sympathetic to or in fact outright zionists) agree that Israel would have lost both “wars” without resupply of critical weapons and particularly munitions as well as vital arial surveillance and intel provided to israel by the US, not France during both conflicts.
Hundreds of Millions of dollars’ worth of US arms and equipment ended up in Israel during the 1960’s. Pay particular attention to the tanks which played a vital role in both conflicts. Most of them were made in America. In fact, many of israel’s primary heavy weapons systems were manufactured in the US.
You get your facts straight.
Like so many other aspects of israel’s “history”, these facts are slowly being written out of existence because they don’t fit the official israeli narrative. Aided and abetted by zio-fascist shills that seemingly pop up with alarming regularity across the internet. Given the tiny size of israel this regularity could not be by chance rather only by design of israeli intelligence.
