Annulling the Iran deal: a dangerous strategic mistake : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 6/10/2017

The US and its allies (along with Russia and China) should build on the existing deal so that once it expires, Iran would not simply rush to acquire nuclear weapons.

If the current great power nuclear agreement with Iran slows down Iran's development of nuclear weapons - then thats good.

But Iran still wants nuclear weapons in the next 10 years (even much smaller North Korea has nukes).

Iranian goals are to:

1. catch up with the nuclear arsenals of Pakistan and Israel, and

2. get ahead of the arsenal Saudi Arabia has already bought from Pakistan (warheads) and China (missiles) but not yet assembled. see http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/saudi/index.html

Israel just wants that deal annulled so they can force a new deal, one that addresses Iran's long range rockets development, which the prior one does not.
I don't hear of weapons inspectors going to Dimona.
And not that it stopped Israel bombing others nuclear facilities after claiming wrongly that they were doing exactly what Israel was...

Agree! You always catch more flies with a teaspoon of honey, than a whole jar of vinegar!

We, i.e., the west, have the capacity to turn that region into vitrified glass, where nothing but nothing survives! And the Iranians know it!

So talk softly, but carry a very big stick in a hand wearing a velvet glove!

I mean the next volley of cruise missiles could have nuclear warheads!

Sent express delivery? With a note asking, Is this what you wanted/ordered or envisaged?

Sorry, no returns or refunds!
