John Kerry Bucks Israel’s Warning On Iran: We Will Give Diplomacy A Chance

Secretary of State John Kerry responded to Israel’s demand for tighter sanctions against Iran with a few blunt sentences that shaped to a simple message: No.

The backdrop: Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Iran is nearly at the point of developing nuclear weaponry — that the country’s uranium production and conversion activities will yield it enough weapons-grade substance within weeks.

The prime minister said sanctions should not ease against Iran until four factors are met: Iran stops all uranium enrichment; international forces remove all its stores of enriched uranium; Iran shuts down its Qom underground facility; and the country halts its build of a nuclear reactor, Ynet News reported.

Mr. Netanyahu also warned that Iran’s promise to work with the international community on its nuclear program is a sham and cautioned the West to not be fooled.
And the latest: The White House says wait, not so fast. Let’s give Iran a chance to prove it’s serious about discussing its nuclear program.

show they are changing? You mean, Kerry's kind of advocating "give peace a chance?" Nah, that absolutely cannot be! Why, just yesterday I read a post that said Kerry was the worst SoS in history!
