Israel official: Iran panicking over sanctions

Share:

Israel’s deputy prime minister says Iran’s boasting of breakthroughs in its nuclear program shows it is panicking over the latest Western sanctions.

Moshe Yaalon told Israel Radio on Thursday that Iran’s ceremonious TV broadcast the previous day, featuring President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad touring a Tehran research reactor, was a sign of weakness.

He says it much more about symbolism than substance and that Iran is feeling the brunt of sanctions against its central bank and gas exports.

Yaalon says: “We are seeing reactions that are in some ways hysterical.”

Israel has been a leading voice in an international campaign to halt Tehran’s nuclear program. Like the West, Israel accuses Iran of pursuing atomic weapons. Tehran denies the charge.

    have FINALLY come up with a solution of the Iranian crisis. My idea is
    much less expensive than rebuilding (or helping to rebuild) Israel after
    a middle east war. Not to mention what it would cost if the USA got
    involved in that war. AND, my solution gives Iran everything they claim
    to want. BTW, most democratic nations of the world are committed to the
    preservation and protection of Israel which is the only democracy in the Middle East.
    1. USA and other countries that are technically and financially able,
    build nuclear power plants throughout Iran as needed by their people for
    generation of power. No cost to Iran, but all expended nuclear fuel to
    be shipped out of their country to places that are already storing spend
    nuclear fuel. 2. USA and other countries that can, provide
    necessary material for use in medical nuclear devices as needed by Iran;
    again at no cost to Iran. 3. Iran to dismantle and destroy any
    and all nuclear enrichment equipment and/or stockpiles of already
    enriched nuclear material under the strict supervision of the donor
    countries. In addition, Iran is to dismantle and destroy any and all
    long range missiles already produced or in production. Medium and short
    range missiles needed for defense are excluded. 4. Denial of
    this solution will prove that Iran is on a course to produce and
    probably use nuclear weapons in the future (based on their repeated
    statements that they want to wipe the state of Israel from the map).
    This denial should cause all willing nations to prepare for war with
    Iran (with the exception of Russia and China whose relations with Iran
    preclude their participation).
