Are the U.S. and Israel Playing Good Cop/Bad Cop with Iran?
(Foreign Affairs) Elliott Abrams - In his speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reminded the world that the Iranians have lied before, warned that they may well be lying still, and claimed that they have done nothing to earn credibility. He said that Iran should first be made to comply with the International Atomic Energy Agency and UN resolutions, which it has defied for decades - most notably by developing clandestine, unsafeguarded sites and by continuing the enrichment of uranium. Netanyahu is setting forth standards for a nuclear agreement that are far tougher than the Obama administration believes can be negotiated.
