IDF, Mossad Largely Oppose Iran Deal, Favor Continued Sanctions Against Tehran
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - The vast majority of top IDF and Mossad officials oppose the emerging Iran nuclear deal as insufficient in light of the "blood and treasure" invested and the threats confronting Israel, the Jerusalem Post has learned. The IDF and Mossad had hoped for progress on the issues of ballistic missiles and terrorist proxies, which they have had to deal with on a daily basis for years, but these issues have been left out of the deal. Many senior Mossad officials and some IDF officers believe it is important to keep Iran under sanctions until the regime stops threatening Israel or until it is toppled. Some believe the Iranian regime likely would fall within the year if financial sanctions pressure remains. But with billions expected to stream to the regime, any prospect of regime change could be delayed.
