Jerusalem Post—Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. Dermer at AIPAC:

The Iran nuclear deal “put us all on cruise control heading over a cliff,” US Ambassador Ron Dermer said Sunday, a day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to hear from US President Donald Trump about his efforts to fix the deal.

Dermer, speaking at the opening session of the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee Policy Conference, said the principle problem with the deal is that the restrictions placed on Iran’s nuclear program are automatically removed in between eight to 13 years.

“So Iran does not need to change its behavior. All it has to do is wait for the calendar to move,” he said.

Even until the “sunset clauses” in the agreement kick in, he added, Iran is still – even now – engaging in R&D for the development of more advanced centrifuges.

A number of steps need to be taken to fix the deal, Dermer said. The first is to remove the sunset clauses, the second is to place restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile development, and the third is to deal with the inspections part of the agreement. Under the agreement, inspectors are not allowed at military installations.

“Where do you think they are going to do the weaponization work?” Dermer asked.

But the most important thing Trump needs to do to get the changes he wants, Dermer said, “is for everyone else to believe that the president is actually prepared to walk away if he doesn’t get those changes. And I have no doubt whatsoever that this president is prepared to walk away from the deal.”

SnyderTalk Comment:

Do we have 8 to 13 years as Ambassador Dermer says?

I don’t think so.

At this moment, North Korea is transferring nuclear and missile technology to Iran.  Iranian leaders intend to use that technology to destroy Israel.  They have made that crystal clear.

See “Iran-North Korea’s ‘axis of evil’ may be Trump’s biggest threat”.

Israel’s mere existence sticks in the craw of Iranian leaders.  It’s a diabolical obsession.  When they think they can attack Israel and survive the response, I believe they will act.

Every move that Iranian leaders make is designed to position Iranian forces around Israel, so they can attack from the air and ground simultaneously.  They have made amazing progress.  The attack could come at any time.
