“negotiations are by far the best approach to prevent Iran developing nuclear bombs“.
“The Israelis (with a stockpile of 400 nuclear bombs) are more anxious about a quick response because they feel that they’re right in the bullseye, so to speak. But we’re convinced that we have more time to focus on these sanctions, to do everything we can to bring Iran to a good-faith negotiation“.
“Israel’s present policy is not based on fear of a nuclear attack by Iran (or by an Iranian proxy). It is calculated to prevent the United States from imposing on Israel a solution to its relationship with the Palestinians. They do not wish a permanent legal frontier dividing them from some new and recognized Palestinian state – a frontier sponsored and also guaranteed by the United States, as well as by international law,” says William PFAFF.
“Israel’s immediate goal is to make the United States its partner in a planned conventional assault on Iran. To that end, Israel’s US lobby is trying to convince the American people Iran is a bad actor and a sinister force in the raging Syrian civil war. Israel has such mastery of US media this goal may be easily achieved…. Except for Pakistan, all Muslim countries lack such deterrence. If Iran possessed even one nuclear warhead, Israel would not be beating drums for assault of the Tehran regime“.
“Pentagon had scaled back next month’s joint military exercise, Austere Challenge, with the Israeli military that had been billed as the largest and most significant in the two countries’ history. A senior Israeli military official told Time magazine what the Pentagon’s rethink had conveyed: “Basically what the Americans are saying is, ‘We don’t trust you’.“
“If Israel and America want to prevent a Middle East nuclear arms race, which was started by Israel 40 years ago, let Israel give up its nukes first. And if Israel is unwilling to do that, let Israel and America stop complaining about Iran – or anyone else.”River to Sea Uprooted Palestinian
