Nuclear Deal Linked to Iranian Gains in Syria
(JNS.org) Jonathan S. Tobin - The conflict heating up on Israel's northern border is a direct consequence of the Iran nuclear deal. By choosing to normalize relations with Tehran - and signing a deal that legalized their nuclear program and ignored everything else it was doing - the U.S. set in motion a series of events that led directly to the presence of significant Iranian forces in Syria. Far from encouraging Iran to be a responsible member of the world community, ending sanctions encouraged its leaders to treat the deal as a green light for their quest for regional hegemony. The only solution is going to have to involve rolling back the gains Iran has made since the U.S. signed a deal that set them on their current path.
