Where Is the Red Line on Iran?
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - This week, Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke of a critical red line with Iran. Emily Landau, director of the Arms Control and Regional Security Project at Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies, noted: "You need massive pressure on Iran to get it to negotiate seriously," adding that this was the purpose served by defining a red line. Without a credible military threat, economic sanctions and diplomacy stood no chance, she said. "We're not seeing a clear enough message on the credible threat," Landau added. "The idea is to set a red line now, to beef up the credibility of consequences."
