US-Iran nuclear deal will 'shut' Israel war plans
A former Israeli official has admitted that a possible nuclear agreement between Iran and the United States would be disappointing for Israel as Tel Aviv’s plans for unilateral strike against Iran would be diminished. “Practically speaking, [a deal] shuts the [Israeli military] option down,” former National Security Advisor Maj. Gen. (ret.) Giora Eiland told Israeli media. “It doesn’t matter what we think about the deal. Israel won’t be able to do a thing,” he added. Eiland said acting against the agreement between Iran and six major powers would make Israel as the world’s menace. ● In an interview with Press TV on Sunday, political analyst Ralph Schoenman said not reaching a nuclear deal during the Geneva talks reflects “the determination on the part of the Israelis and the Saudis, not only to prevent such an agreement, but it takes even military action against Iran in order to completely destroy it.” ● Antiwar.com: Israel: Iran Deal Would Harm War Plans
