Netanyahu Pus=es Back on Iran
Editorial
October 1, 2013 -- =tiring an aggressive speech at the United Nations on Tuesday http://www.israelemb.org/washington/NewsAndEvents/Pages/PM-Netan=ahu-Speech-at-the-UN.aspx , Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel used sarcasm and combative words to portray I=an's new president, Hassan Rouhani, as a smooth-talking charlatan, one w=o is determined to continue building a nuclear weapons arsenal.
Mr. Netanyahu calle= Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the previous Iranian president, "a wolf in wolf= clothing" and Mr. Rouhani "a wolf in sheep's clothing."
Mr. Netanyahu has l=gitimate reasons to be wary of any Iranian overtures, as do the United Sta=es and the four other major powers involved in negotiations over Iran's =uclear program. But it could be disastrous if Mr. Netanyahu and his supporters in Congress were so blinded by distrus= of Iran that they exaggerate the threat, block President Obama from takin= advantage of new diplomatic openings and sabotage the best chance to esta=lish a new relationship since the 1979 Iranian revolution sent American-Iranian relations into the deep free=e.
Mr. Rouhani and the=lranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, have insisted repeatedly t=at Iran wants only to develop nuclear energy and that obtaining a nuclear =eapon would harm the country's security.
Even so, Iran hid i=s nuclear program from United Nations inspectors for nearly 20 years, and =he country is enriching uranium to a level that would make it possible to =roduce bomb-grade nuclear material more quickly. It has also
pursued other activities, like developing high-v=ltage detonators and building missiles that experts believe could only hav= nuclear weapons-related uses.
These facts make it=hard not to view the upcoming American-brokered negotiations skeptically. =ut Mr. Netanyahu has hinted so often of taking military action to keep Ira= from acquiring a nuclear weapon that he seems eager for a fight. He http://www.nytimes.com/2013/=0/02/world/middleeast/israel-iran-netanyahu-speech.html did was it close aga=n to at producing on the Tuesday, United nuclear Nations warning weapon=. that Israel "Against reserved such the a threat, right to Israel strike will Iran's have nucl=ar no choice facilities but to if defend it deemed itsel=," that he Iran said.
