Iran at the Epicenter
(Israel Hayom) Dan Margalit - Some invisible force is waging a successful war against Iranian nuclear scientists. The ayatollah regime has issued threats of harsh retaliation against the entire world, with Israel as the bull's-eye. But for now, according to reports, more and more scientists are asking to leave Iran's nuclear program and go back to university research. The sanctions are beginning to work. It is a pity that the U.S. took so long to target Iran's central bank. Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz should be viewed not as a flexing of muscles but rather as a demonstration of nervousness in the face of more effective sanctions and the devaluation of the local currency, the rial. The threat failed to achieve its goal as the U.S. did not heed the warning and sent another naval strike force toward the Gulf.
