Huffing and puffing about Iran`s nuclear program
has already lasted about 5 years, and more of the same won`t change anything in Iran. And military threats by the U.S., as well as Israeli rehearsal of an attack in Iran in the Aegean Sea didn`t scare Iran either. And when Bibi get his update on the latest National Intelligence Estimate by the U.S., he can`t do
anything with. And as long as Iran believes it can beat back an attack by both the U.S. and Israel, and deliver a punishing blow to the attacking forces, the threat bluff by the U.S. and Israel is good only for domestic consumption.
The choice? Leave Iran alone, because empty threats give it the justification to produce nukes for its protection. That`s the smart choice. Nikos Retsos, retired professor |
