While a deal may or may not materialize, the reaching of an Iran nuclear deal is still expected. Once the deal is in place in good standing, one would think that people would stop fussing about Iran, and threatening to attack them.
Of course, that ignores the reality that Israel is keen to threaten Iran at regular intervals, and the Bennett government has time and again said that the nuclear deal, which they oppose, won’t alter their policy.
Interestingly, US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides echoed Israel’s position in an interview today, saying Israel is not restricted by any deal the US makes with Iran, and that Israel will be free to take whatever actions they feel the need to take.
This is the Israeli position, and it’s not that weird for the US to echo that, especially on Israel TV, but it’s not clear that’s actually how it’s going to work. If a nuclear deal is reached, Israel would be under a lot of pressure to not directly undermine it. An Israeli attack on Iran would face huge international backlash, even if the US as such didn’t object.
Think the war in Ukraine is bad.
If AIPAC gets it’s way and the Israelis attack Iran.
This war will truly usher in the unthinkable much quicker. Hezbollah and Syria will get drawn in almost immediately. Hamas as well. This war would go in all sorts of directions as those fighting Israel will fight themselves especially Saudi Arabia and Iran..
From there it would be almost inevitable that the USA and Russia would get drawn in.
World War 3 will start this way if Israel attacks Iran.
Zelensky will feel redundant.
How lovely… It’s been awhile since the last world war and everyone knows how this one will go. Nukes and bunker busters!….
Russia has made it clear for a long time that the occupied Golan has to be returned to Syria at some point. Israeli government is formed on false promises to keep Bibi out. An attack against Iran would be outright stupid and make WW3 that much more of a reality.
Russia invades Ukraine to take their land and now asking Israel to return the land to Syria. Hmm, what an irony. If Israel ever attack Iran, they should do it alone and stop trying to get US soldiers killed.
Israel does ethnic cleansing and steals Palestinian land and when they protest Israel murders them with army snipers, killing 300 the last time. In 1967 Israel tried to sink the Liberty and killed 34 sailors and LBJ ran cover. What an irony.
Nicely stated.
Iran killed 280+ Marines in Lebanon-what an irony.
I heard it was a Mossad false flag operation. I’m glad that we both agree it should have been 280 of the chosen ones instead. What an irony.
You must be fromMercury.
Yes, I knew some of the survivors. (the attack happened the year before I joined the Marine Corps). They were pretty bitter. More about being stuck in a place where they had no business being and seeing their friends die than about who did it.
Tha’ts most wars.I am amazed and saddened to see US guys back from Iraq hopping around on springs and insisting that they would do it all over again for HAL and thicket boy.
The operative word being “Marines”. But once again your comment was way the fuck off.
You are trying to distract because the Golan analogy of Analyzer is with the Crimea, not with anything of the current situation.
Iran not restricted in acting against the zionist bully with or without deal
Iran has 80 million people-ten times the population,vastly larger land area,and much larger energy resources.Iranian media pour out vile hate themes.Who is the bully?
Iran don’t have a patsy sugar daddy like the zionists have.
I’m giving you a golden star!
When the Arabists ran the State department, that was OK. The Us protected Iran from Israeli strikes.
You are joke. Not Jake
1.Use correct grammar.
2.If you think that matters of war and peace are a joke,Then…..
Nit picking
take the mirror away from yourself.
It is most unfortunate that you cannot see the wisdom I speak.
The Arabist have not run the state department since since JFK. after his murder the Zionist took over, and the US never protected Iran from Israeli strikes because at that time Iran was an Allie under the Shaw. In fact Mossad set up the Iranian Savak it’s equivalent in Iran. Also the Iranians are not Arabs.
I never equated Persians with Arabs. Th US prevented an Israeli airstrike into Iran to prevent retaliation against US troops in Iraq.
The country that institutionalized apartheid
If people want to kill you, then keeping them away is a humane alternative to killing them. No apartheid-peaceful self defense.
Once Dollar is cancelled your arrogance will also be cancelled. Wait
Go look in a mirror.
If you want to argue in favor of apartheid (“keeping them away”), you should at least acknowledge what it is instead of trying to have it both ways. Occupying/claiming land and setting up a multi-layer system of which ethnic groups are allowed to go where, when, and why is apartheid.
There is one way of “keeping them away” that wouldn’t be apartheid per se: Israel could withdraw to inside its legal borders (codified in UNR 181) and “keep them away” by declining to admit “them.”
But you want to have it both ways there, too.
Right on Thomas!
As I have stated before,the Jews accepted UNR 181,the Arabs rejected it and made war. The Arabs lost,no going back, hands in cards are not replayed.
But for those who treally are for peace, the only way is for each side to give tiny bits to each other, and lower the fires of hate.No UN,Russia,China,US, Iran, just neighbors who have to learn to tolerate one another.
There’s a third alternative to either withdrawing to the legal borders, or instituting an apartheid system and whining every time someone notices that that’s what it is.
That alternative is for the Israeli regime to declare whatever borders it thinks are just, GTFO of territory outside those borders, and try to get the UN to accept its new border claims.
Until and unless it does that, it’s operating an apartheid system on occupied land. If you want to argue that that’s justifiable, well, argue away. But throwing a little hissy every time someone mentions the irrefutable facts is just silly.
Isn’t it interesting how the discussion drifted to terminology over Israel’s internal policies (surely not above criticism, but do they threaten Iran in any way?), instead of e.g. some reaction over the original comment “Iran not restricted in acting against the zionist bully with or without deal” and the fact that it got 8 upvotes, zero downvotes?
Well u can always give them the land u stole especially the parts u stole after the war of 66. Stealing more and more land and expecting them to accept that meekly is absolute folly
Its better to keep people who want to murder you away,than kill them in return.
Israel is the bully. A bully with nukes.
The Arabs have boasted of their desire to kill Israel,a country 1/100th the size.Her nukes are gooood!
Eat if you care to
Dude, find new material.
If you can’t handle the heat,stay out of the kitchen.
Are you snorting ziocaine. If it’s killing you don’t do it.
Think some thing worse
Your right, Jake is in the kitchen cooking up death and destruction.
Be careful what you invite Jake…
Do you only speak in cliches? And that one doesn’t even make sense.
US Envoy: Iran Not Restricted in Acting Against Israel With Or Without Deal
When you are above the law you can do what ever you want. Israel has proved this.
By any means necessary.
The reckoning is coming
“Interestingly, US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides echoed Israel’s position in an interview today, saying Israel is not restricted by any deal the US makes with Iran, and that Israel will be free to take whatever actions they feel the need to take.”
But should Iran retaliate the US would immediately call it terrorism, reimpose the maximum pressure campaign and boost that annual $3.8 billion gift substantially.
Yeah, Iran is not afforded the same right to self defense that is given to Israel.
Let Iran mind its own business and it will do just fine.
Israel should do so. Or else it will perish
Such consternation Jake…
Israel not restricted against acting against U S of A. Period.Robots in both houses have endorsed the idea
when is the last time that iran attacked or invaded another country – about 300 years ago?
how many nukes doe iran have – zero.
how many times has israel bombed it’s neighbors lebanon, jordan & syria – about 300 ?
how many nukes does israel have – probably 100.
americans all bent out of shape over russia attacking ukraine but same americans will no doubt cheer israel if they launch a nuke at iran.
Iran invaded the US embassy-an act of war.Terrorists based in Syria and Lebanon have fired missiles at Israel for decades-Israel has a right to bomb hostile forces where ever and when ever.
Still snorting ziocaine.
Will never stop
If everyone on this website blocked Joke, as I did, we’d all save ourselves a lot of time reading his ziodrivel.
look in a mirror
The Iranian regime did not “invade the US embassy.”
In fact, the first time it was “invaded” by student protesters and a hostage taken, the regime’s foreign minister secured its return within three hours and the release of the hostage within six days.
Khomeini was not informed of the second takeover, and when he was informed, said to “go and kick them out.” A few hours later he changed his position.
Maybe if the US didn’t want its embassy “invaded” perhaps it should have seen to the embassy’s security instead of going hat in hand to the regime to beg it to handle that for them two times running.
Yes,the Marines should have shot down every invader-the media,and the left would have had a field day.
“when is the last time that iran attacked or invaded another country – about 300 years ago?”
1974. It was a fairly small invasion of Iraq, limited to some areas the Shah’s regime claimed were harboring Kurdish fighters who were crossing over into and operating in Iran.
oh. if that counts then i stand corrected.
I’m cheerleading for Iran to develop its own nukes as quickly as possible.
What a great deterrent against the Beast of the Middle East, IsraHell, who bombs other nations with impunity.
I am antiwar but there are moments when I am not…I do believe that countries being attacked, have a right to defend themselves…
Hey fake I mean Jake give it up already, no one here listens to your moronic incoherent statements. Did you take your meds today?
So then why are you answering-the truth disturbs you.
This is another provocative invitation by US to Iran to hit their military bases in the region for retaliation…!
Seriously? Does anyone really believe that Israel would attack Iran – and risk both Iranian and Hezbollah retaliation – without the US joining in the attack?
“If a nuclear deal is reached, Israel would be under a lot of pressure to not directly undermine it.” By whom? Certainly not the US. And who else has any influence at all on Israel? Russia would complain, and probably support Iran, and China might, but that’s about it. The EU is toothless.
