Officials say PM is concerned Tehran’s compliance will make new sanctions, long-term monitoring of nuclear sites nearly impossible

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is concerned that Iran will abide by the terms of a nuclear deal, thus diverting the world’s attention from its nuclear program, and ensuring that renewed sanctions and long-term monitoring of Tehran’s nuclear sites is made nearly impossible, two unnamed officials told Haaretz overnight Saturday-Sunday.

The officials, who were present in a cabinet meeting on April 3, said the prime minister was convinced the Islamic Republic would “keep to every letter in the agreement if indeed one is signed at the end of June.”

“Netanyahu said at the meeting that it would be impossible to catch the Iranians cheating simply because they will not break the agreement,” one official said.

2. He sounds like Glen Bleck

They'll bide their time, 20, 30, 40 years and then when our guard is down, the Iranians will say, "Aha! We have a nuclear bomb!"
Sounds like Beck talking about Wilson's presidency

3. Netanyahu has truly gone

over the cliff.

[shaayecanaan]

4. Those damn Iranians and their tendency to honour commitments

Why can't they be like israel and shit all over things the minute they're signed, like israel did with the road map?

[Enthusiast]

5. Funny that the USA could "Trust but verify" with the Soviet Union but can't do that with Iran.

According to Netanyahu.

This is bullshit. [URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

6. That's because Iranians are brown people

[karynnj]

18. Think Jasmine and Aladin - Persians are usually considered Caucasian (white)

11. Love your 'smilie'!!

[Enthusiast]

12. It leaves nothing to the imagination.

7. Not the Onion

Unbelievable.

10. Yeah, I was hoping for that or Borowitz. But with Bibi, anything is possible:

“This is not a game,” Mr. Obama said during a news conference at the White House timed to coincide with Super Tuesday voting in the Republican primaries in a number of crucial states.

Mr. Obama gave a staunch defense of his administration's actions to rein in Iran's nuclear ambitions and said tough sanctions put in place by the United States and Europe were starting to work and were part of the reason Iran had returned to the negotiation table.

“The one thing we have not done is we have not launched a war,” Mr. Obama said. “If some of these folks think we should launch a war, let them say so, and explain to the American people.”

Republicans got some 'splainin' to do. Bibi will be going through a learning curve, too.

This isn't over, McCain is still a tool who follows Obama around drooling. This should be on the screen whenever he says a word about PBO:

8. Say what?

'“Netanyahu said at the meeting that it would be impossible to catch the Iranians cheating simply because they will not break the agreement,” one official said.'

19. These comments are amazing

and proof that Netanyahu is really not concerned with an Iranian nuclear bomb, but with Iran not treated like a pariah nation.

It does sound like he knows he is on the losing end here. Other comments that he is focusing on using the US Congress need to seen here - in context with this. Neither he - or the Republicans -are actually telling the truth on why they oppose it.

[Aerows]

25. The Republicans are foaming at the mouth

for a war with Iran because the price of oil is too low. Nothing like some good old turmoil in the Middle East to send oil prices sky high, and make their defense contractors wealthy.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Is he going to go up in Angela Merkel's face and say that?

Or Xi Jinping's or Cameron's?

This is not a "unilateral" U.S. agreement.

[RKP5637]

13. With idiotic statements like Netanyahu's statement, it is no wonder there is constant tension.

Nothing will satisfy Netanyahu, than outright war and the US doing it for him. I'm so saddened Netanyahu was elected again.

[Tom Rinaldo]

14. Meanwhile Netanyahu's groupies in Congress argue Iran obviouslly can't be trusted to keep any deal

Those who suggest otherwise they claim are laughably naive or recklessly dangerous to national security. The truth is totally irrelevant, they will say whatever it takes to advance their war.

22. They have gone beyond those attacks to dishonest and delusional

Those said by the senior Senator from Arizona, a former Presidential nominee.

Looking at the careers of McCain and Kerry, it is far easier to claim that McCain is sometimes delusional and has been dishonest. Kerry was/is actually refreshingly honest for a politician and clear eyed, though remarkably for someone with his history, idealist.

McCain, like Netanyahu, is beginning to look like Rumpelstiltskin - when he realizes he will not win - going into a temper tantrum.

As to Kerry, I predict that he will do what he always does, ignore the flack and keep focused on all the things that he is working on. In the last 6 months, he was a key person on this international effort, the person who brokered the Afghanistan election which has prevented Afghanistan from going over a cliff this year, was involved on the Cuba deal and likely involved in the big shift Obama spoke of with Latin America, he was a key person pulling together the 60 + ISIS coalition, and he was the person who convinced Obama that a US/China climate pact was possible - and worked on that too. If Obama did not trust him or thought him delusional, he would have been replaced when Hagel was or not given much of a portfolio.

Looking at the above, I want to add, that on ALL these things the person who deserves the most credit if they work will and should be President Obama. Many of these things were difficult and had a real chance to fail - Obama took the risk in putting his administration behind them.

I hate the discussion of "legacy" as it seems to argue that things are done for personal glory. In fact, achievements matter only when they are seen to have made the world better. Therefore, if you are working to make a better world -- you are also increasing the chance of a positive legacy. The "legacy" should be considered the byproduct of doing good things.

We also know that success will have many people claiming to be its father or mother - a failure is often an orphan. What I am looking for is the point where more leaders claim having a role. (In Haaretz, there was one article saying - at this point - Netanyahu (!) should claim his credit as one of the main people who fought for sanctions. ) I absolutely don't expect Netanyahu to do so, but I do think - if the deal is signed - that some Republicans (not McCain) will argue that their constant push for sanctions helped -- ditto for AIPAC.

If that happens, it is more than ok - nothing is more indicative of something really being an accomplishment than everybody and their grandfather claiming credit.

15. 'it would be impossible to catch the Iranians cheating simply because they will not break the

agreement'

Just when you've heard it all.

Just like most things that Iranian leaders say about 'the Zionist entity', most things that Israeli leaders say about that damned, evil, agreement-honouring, non-cheating country of Iran are intended as red meat for their own hardliners.

[Fred Sanders]

16. How about some "attention" being diverted towards a look at Israel's nuclear weapons programme??

But somehow Bibi and Israel can be trusted...remember his infamous flip flops on serious issues just a month ago?

[bemildred]

17. As some of us have been saying all along.

The problem Israel has with Iran is not Iran's nukes, it is Iran's modernizing into a worthy competitor/enemy state. The usual zero-sum thinking.

[roamer65]

20. He's scared Iran will comply for another reason.

If they do, the world community will start demanding that Israel open up its nuke weapons program to the IAEA. That's what he REALLY doesn't want.

[Jefferson23]

21. Priceless. Bibi says, I am the one who is not reliable but Iran is reliable lol

You can't make this stuff up.

There you have it, he only wanted to dominate, as he has known for years this was bullshit,
and all of which has been fully documented over and over again.

[father founding]

23. PM is afraid

The deal will stick and they won't have a platform for hate anymore.

[lark]

24. Little murderer is upset because nasty USA has spoiled his bomb bomb bomb Iran party?

Poor wittle baby.

He totally disgusts me, does he have any shred of humanity in him? WTF is wrong with Israel, they are worse than us and that's pretty damn bad.

[Paper Roses]

26. Tough patooties Bibi.

[daleo]

27. He won't take yes for an answer

It's an old tactic, for those who prefer confrontation and war.
