Israel Views U.S. Negotiations with Tehran
(Israel Hayom) Lilach Shoval - Israeli officials noted that even if the Iranians ultimately agree to the U.S. terms, including the removal of all 440 kg. (970 pounds) of highly-enriched uranium, Iran would still retain many tons of lower-level enriched material and would be able, within a relatively short time, to enrich it again to a high level. Moreover, an agreement that would lead to the lifting of economic sanctions on the Iranian regime would save it. According to assessments in Israel, an extremist Iranian regime would remain in power, become wealthier, and more determined to obtain nuclear weapons. Israel's preferred option at this stage is to maintain the continued siege and economic strangulation of Iran. Israel insists that coordination between the political and military echelons of the U.S. and Israel is full.
