Pompeo Confirms Israel's Nightmare Scenario on Iranian Nuclear Weapons
(Al-Monitor) Ben Caspit - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Nov. 7: "Members of the international community who are rightly concerned with Iran's latest attacks and provocations should imagine how Iran would behave with a nuclear weapon." He confirmed the estimate of Israeli intelligence that the Iranians will violate the nuclear agreement gradually, in slow steps, until they reach a range from which they could break through to a military nuclear program within a few months. "Unfortunately, experience teaches us that not all of the Trump administration's declarations are translated into deeds," a former high-ranking Israeli intelligence official told Al-Monitor. "This time we are reaching an existential crossroad that might force us to choose an independent path. This time this isn't North Korea, but Iran, whose declared intention is to erase Israel from the map of the world."
