Iran after the Nuclear Deal


(Journal of Turkish Weekly) Ephraim Kam - There is an overall consensus in Israel that the nuclear agreement concluded with Iran is an appalling deal - not only for Israel, but for the entire Middle East.

The writer is a senior research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.
