U.S., Israel Debate If All Options Still Available to Counter Iran
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - The lead U.S. negotiator for the Iran nuclear deal, Wendy Sherman, told the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv that she believes that the deal "prevents Iran from having a nuclear weapon...forever." Sherman, who is Jewish, said that if Iran cheated, "all options that the United States has, that we all have, remain completely available." However, former Israel National Security Council head Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror said: "There are some areas in which our interests and the interests of the United States are not the same. We might face this situation in the future, and because of that we cannot trust that all the options that everyone is speaking about - and that no one really believes are there - will be taken by the Americans if there is a need."
