Israeli Minister Criticizes Clinton Statement on Nuclear Iran
[Ha'aretz] Barak Ravid - Dan Meridor, Israel's minister for secret services, told Army Radio that Clinton's statement regarding "a defense umbrella" for its allies in the Middle East implies a willingness to reconcile with the eventuality of a nuclear-armed Iran. "I heard, unenthusiastically, the Americans' statement that they will defend their allies in the event that Iran arms itself with an atomic bomb, as if they have already reconciled with this possibility, and this is a mistake....Now, we don't need to deal with the assumption that Iran will attain nuclear weapons but to prevent this."
