Uzi Arad: Iran's Nuclear Bid "Only a Matter of Time"

(Times of Israel) Elhanan Miller - Former national security adviser Uzi Arad said Tuesday he sees little prospect of Iran rolling back its bid to attain nuclear weapons capabilities. "Most experts doubt whether a [final] deal can be reached, so we should treat the current situation as one which will continue. They [the Iranians] will continue enriching [uranium] to a level they regard as permissible, until the opportunity arises when they decide to catch up easily. It's only a matter of time. Meanwhile, they achieve sanctions relief and the sense of [Western] laxness." "I ask in the name of common sense: a state which went through such efforts to reach military nuclear capabilities, which paid such a heavy price over the years for whatever reason, will suddenly simply say: 'All right, never mind, this was just a game?' Of course not. The same impulses remain, except now [Iran] needs to add new considerations to the equation. They want to reach nuclear capabilities cheaply, without sanctions."
