Israel Is Watching the World's Response to North Korea and Iran
(Israel Hayom) Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Yaakov Amidror - One has to be hopelessly optimistic or extremely naive to think the Iranians will not take advantage of the legitimacy they will enjoy once the deal lapses to become a nuclear state, or, at the very least, a nuclear threshold state that could build and launch a bomb within a few months without anyone being able to stop it. If the U.S. does not take action to stop the likes of North Korea or Iran, no other world power will. This is a critical question for Israel, because an American decision to do nothing will oblige Israel to think of what it may be required to do by itself in the future.
