(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Iran's interest is to reach the "nuclear threshold" while at the same time completing the missile program and fortifying Tehran's nuke sites to make them immune to an aerial strike. Iran aims to achieve this without facing stifling economic sanctions already formulated by the U.S. and the West but not yet imposed. Iran is playing for time as it waves carrots and sticks in the West's face. The Iranians are also signaling their willingness to re-launch negotiations on their nuclear program. However, Iran presented a condition: No sanctions during the negotiations. Israel's interest is to thwart Iran's plans. By the time the Americans weigh their options and make a decision, the Iranians may complete their fortification project, thereby causing Israel to miss the last chance to launch a successful, effective preventative strike. This is the reason why Israel pushes the U.S. and Europe to impose the gravest possible sanctions on Iran in the coming weeks. 2012-01-20 00:00:00Full Article
