Israelis Wary over Interim Nuclear Deal between Major Powers and Iran

(Los Angeles Times) Kate Linthicum - Emily Landau, director of the Arms Control and Regional Security Project at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, said the Iranian threat cannot be underestimated. She pointed to a statement from Iran's top nuclear negotiator that the country's reduced capabilities under the agreement could be quickly reversed. "You have to take those words seriously because this is a true indication of how Iran is viewing this," she said. Ultimately, Landau said, "it's not Israel's role or responsibility to deal with Iran's nuclear program....Israel finds itself in the position where it will suffer the most from the consequences of the failure of the international community to deal successfully with Iran through negotiations. And those states that are negotiating are the ones that are going to suffer the least."
