  The Deal with Iran: One Year of Deceit

  Those of us who were strongly opposed to an agreement we felt it was so bad for Western interests, peace in the region, and international stability as to prefer it not signed at all, we have all seen our arguments strengthened in this first year of the deal going by the acronym JCPOA.

  Iran is as belligerent as ever

  http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=16561 While some want us to see peace, moderation, and even friendship with Iran, the objective truth continues to be Iranian extremism, hostility, and violence.

  Moderate Iran is a fantasy

  The West should be wary of deepening ties with a regime that has stepped up arrests and judicial abuse.

• The battle of perceptions

  If Iran develops nuclear weapons, it’s got everything. It already has enough rockets to destroy Israel in a surprise attack. It would not be dissuaded by the fact that about 1.5 million Israeli Arabs would also die. Islam provides heaven’s glorious consolation for Muslim martyrs

  Confrontation With Iran Is Inevitable

  http://www.wsj.com/articles/confrontation-with-iran-is-inevitable-1438813370

  Assuming, as this agreement does, that Iran will moderate its policies, renounce its hegemonic aspirations, reject its terrorist proxies and become a “normal” country is a dangerous gambit. The more likely outcome is an empowered regime, better equipped to pursue its regional interests and perfectly capable of building a nuclear bomb.

  The consequences of a bad deal with Iran

  http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-bolton-iran-military-option-20150726-story.html

  So the real choice we are faced with is dealing with the consequences of military action or the consequences of a nuclear Iran. Neither is palatable, but the latter is far worse. If the real objective is stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, preemptive military action is now inescapable.

• Trying to Avert War

  Netanyahu, Churchill and Congress

   An agreement that leaves Iran with the potential to achieve nuclear breakout will trigger a Middle East arms race that will exponentially increase the risks of global nuclear war, a risk multiplied by the vulnerability of regional governments to overthrow by extremists.
