During his speech at the UN General Assembly, Iranian President Hassan Rohani reiterated his nation’s disavowal of nuclear weaponry, saying all nations should pursue nuclear technology purely for peaceful, civilian purposes.
As with any time Iran seeks diplomacy, Israel is taking it extremely personally, storming out of the UN during the speech in a carefully planned show of “outrage,” and has been railing against the speech ever since as a plot.
Israel’s concern is very real though, as calls for peaceful nuclear technology run afoul not only of Israel’s regional goals, but of their massive nuclear arsenal, and a deal with Iran will bring uncomfortable attention to Israel’s own undeclared weapons.
While publicly Israel wants to resolve questions about Iran’s civilian program, the practical matter is that any deal at all is going to be bad news for them, since it will inevitably restart calls for a deal with Israel about its arms.
Poor Israel – why can't the whole World just accept them as exceptional and not subject to the same rules as they want to hobble every other country with? Why can't everyone just realize that every Israeli life is precious and that every Arab life just so much dirt?
That sounds just like American 'exceptionalism.'
Iran invented the game of Chess, there is no better player than Rouhani to pull the wool over the eyes of a tic-tac-toe playing President.
Take a good look at Iran's creation of the Shia Crescent; Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Look at the populations of the oil fields of the Arabian Gulf; Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, which hold significant populations of Shia Muslims. Review the primary tenet of the Shia, which is not to recognize any sovereign authority except that of the Shia religion-and the Head of the Shia is the Grand Ayatollah in Iran.
Look how their tentacles have extended to spreading their religion in South America,up to Mexico and the very borders of the U.S.A. Hope for the best? Better prepare for the worst.
When their delaying tactics result in Iran getting its nuke, it will hold a knife to the throat of the Arabian Gulf's oil producing countries, and the New Islamic Persian Empire will be an existential threat to the entire world.
