P5+1 foreign ministers and Iran resumed talks early this morning about Iran’s nuclear programme in an effort to secure a framework agreement by today’s deadline.
Details that have been made public about the impending agreement have been met with widespread alarm and criticism in Israel and across the Arab world. Writing in Fathom, Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, former chief of the research division in IDF Military Intelligence, and until recently, director general of the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, argues against any accord with Iran that leaves Teheran as a threshold nuclear state with the capability to produce nuclear weapons.
Additionally, in an interview with Ben Cohen, Michael Ledeen, of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) argues that the Obama Administration has failed to understand the true nature and intentions of the Iranian regime.
Our Voice of the Week is a Panel discussion at the 8th Annual International INSS conference in Tel Aviv.
