Israeli leaders lashed out at Thursday's announcement of a framework agreement to curb Iran's nuclear development with demands that the foreign powers negotiating the deal further roll back Tehran's programs and warnings of possible military strikes on Iran if they don't.

Israeli leaders react to Iran nuclear deal with demands, warnings

It's a shame for Israel that they weren't involved in the negotiations with Iran. Instead of trying to rattle more war and division they could've participated in these talks, faced Iran directly, and maybe they would've gotten their own conditions put into the agreement. But no, they wanted no such deal, they never intended for any peace or agreement. Just more pointless sanctions, tension with Iran, and they used their lackeys in America to push this agenda for them. Now that an agreement has been reached, progress has been made, they're back to making demands and threats of military strikes. Unbelievable. And at worst they want to drag America with them.

Youre totally right. We should stop Israel before they plunge the entire world into war.

=P

I agree that it's a shame Israel couldn't have participated in the talks, but I don't know how realistic that idea would have been.

The agreement the other countries reached with Iran is worrisome at best. From your source:

Bar Lev said the main danger of the emerging deal is that if Iran choose to develop a nuclear weapon it could do so in less than a year.

I watched an interview with Iranian President Ahmadinejad a few years ago. The phrase "Crazy like a fox" comes to mind. In the talks, it seems that Iran focused on limiting the enrichment, not the delivery mechanisms. Who says the Iranians haven't been secretly inviting their former Soviet neighbors to clandestine "tea and yellow cake" parties for a while, now?

This wasn't about Israel so why did Israel a nation with a illegal nuclear arsenal have any place with the negotiations?

Now that an agreement has been reached, progress has been made, they're back to making demands and threats of military strikes.

If Israel does attack Iran it will be just a hit and run mission. Israel cannot withstand a prolonged war with Iran and the military leaders of Israel has told Benny as much.

And at worst they want to drag America with them.

Actually they would prefer that America does the fighting for them and the turncoats in Congress would be more than happy to do just that.

Netanyahoo negotiates? First I'm hearing of this.

Israel should STFU


They should either present real evidence of Irans nukes or piss off and stop crying wolf.


And anyway they have a modern state of the art military, dont see why the world needs to fight there battles.

I'm glad this deal was finally made. Iran's not trying to make a nuclear bomb & even Israel's own Mossad doesn't believe they are. Link

Some people just want another war. Oh well! LOL! They can keep yelling, pouting, and whining while the world keeps moving forward.

Too late they have nukes, we need to disarm them first! They would sooner blow the world up then disarm.

The war has started sunni vs shia it may snowball to include Israel it may not, the good thing about you anti-Israel people is that you can no longer argue AIPAC runs the country,they obviously have no sway with Obama.

Fail. Ahmadinejad's not even the Iranian president anymore. And many of his speeches & interviews are online so people can see for themselves that he was actually pretty rational. People talk about his words against Israel, but never mention Israel's constant threats against Iran.

This trope gets pulled every time.....

Are you to say diplomacy should never be tried?


Hell Iran hasnt like hitler invaded anyone yet!

a reply to: enlightenedservant

Fail yourself. I said the interview was "several years ago." I also never said he was irrational. It's asinine comments like this from people who don't bother reading posts that are causing ATS to lose its once-great discussion capability.

Another Netanyahu thread?

Your right as at early 1937 Hitler had no yet invaded Czeckoslavakia so consider my post prophecy not commentry

Israel at the talks would have been a disaster. Iran would have tied all kinds of things to Israel actions in Palestine so it would have ended up with Russia, Iran, China, UK, France, Germany all ganging up on Israel and the US using all its diplomatic capital defending Israel. And of course the hypocrisy of Israel having nukes and Iran not being allowed would have been thrown about by Iran at every opportunity. And of Israel's hawks need Iran as the boogy man. Without Iran Israel will not be able divert public attention from the fact that Israel's policies have left Israel in a bad place globaly. RIght now they can claim the threat from Iran over rides that. Now, they will have to find a new boogy man.

As is Iran has managed to escape the fate of Syria. When it came down to the line and Syria looked to Russia, Russia gave up the very chemicals weapons that Syria claimed not to have. And Syria got nothing out of it except a delay in being bombed. Iran saw that and figured they might as well get something out of it. In every direction Iran faces more powerful enemies. It has taken its first step in escaping the fate of so many others in the region.

Someone just got tearful & threw up in their mouth...



Obama vs O'Boohoo

Once you go black, you don't go AIPAC...


I could continue in this vain...

But before its deemed OT...
Is anyone surprised Israel have resorted to threats...

That's what bullies do...

Shame Iran have to be the bigger man and sit around the table with the super powers of the UK, Russia & US while Israel wait outside the door crying about weapons that do not exist.


How I laugh heartily at the tears of a tyrant.

The devil may cry... A despot may not!!!

It's not Sunni vs Shia. It's all about money & power. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, and their allies in the West want to contain Iran. That's all there is to it.

Iran is allies w/Syria, who supports Hezbollah. Israel hates Hezbollah so it hates Iran.

Iran is now allies with Iraq. This pisses off the Saudis, who want Iraq under their area of influence.

Iran & Syria made a deal for a pipeline to Europe. This pissed off Qatar (who had a rival pipeline offer) so they started funding radical groups in Syria.

Saudi Arabia & Iran are locked in a cold war over political, economic, and energy dominance of the Mideast.

And the US has a lot of Neo-Conservatives & Zionists who hate Iran for a variety of reasons. And the US needs Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the rest of the GCC to keep the petrodollar. Religion has nothing to do with it, though they use it to con poor & ignorant people into dying for the points I've already mentioned.

Israel needs to appear to be in constant danger from Iran to get more money and weapons from the US. They get massive aid from the US for this purpose. I'm sure they don't want to lose that aid; there's a real threat but I think they over-embellish to keep the fear of imminent attack fresh on the mind of their biggest lender. It's a huge mess…
