Israeli Intelligence Agencies to Netanyahu: Dont Push Trump to Revoke Iran Deal

Source: Mediaite

by Joe DePaolo | 4:27 pm, January 20th, 2017

Israel’s intelligence community is urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to push President Donald Trump to revoke the Iran nuclear deal, despite widespread opposition to the deal from many political leaders and much of country at large when the deal was signed 18 months ago.

According to Haaretz, Israeli intelligence organizations, who were initially critical of the deal, now believe it to be “stable,” and think that Iran is adhering to the terms.

Amos Yaadlin, a former Israeli chief of military intelligence, said that if the US nixes the deal, Israel could be held responsible by other global powers.

“(P)recisely the act of cancelling the agreement will negate the legitimacy of our positions in the international community,” Yaadlin said. “When a conflict with Iran develops, the other powers will blame us for dragging Trump into doing this. They will not come to our aid.”

So we see that right wingers now like Obamacare, and like his Iran Deal. What's next on the hypocrisy train?

Wants war with Iran, so they have a reason to 'legitimately' attack Hezbollah. With the Iran Deal, Isreal cannot use the nuclear threat as a reason to invade and draw the US into a war. If the deal is revoked, then Isreal will be able to take the Palestinian lands without having to deal with the UN. And, Trump, like with Luton, will be a puppet of Netanyahu.

We'll see if Putin, the oil companies and other global capitalists talk them out of it.

The fact that we could actually see Putin being the voice of reason that restrains an out-of-control U.S. president, would be beyond words really.

That, of course, leaves our "bestest friend in the world" Bibi. Don't be shocked if that bastard blows up one of his own embassies to try to force Trump's hand, in case Trump proves to be too reluctant to hurl the U.S. into another mid-east quagmire.
