Israeli Nuclear Board Okays the Iran Deal

by Ali Gharib
The pattern is clear as day: whatever Benjamin Netanyahu has to say about the Iran deal is based in hyperbole, fear-mongering, and fantasy. Before the nuclear deal was even inked, Netanyahu made a highly politicized appearance at Congress and denounced the deal. The accord, Netanyahu said, “doesn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb; it paves Iran’s path to the bomb. So why would anyone make this deal?” On the cusp of a deal in July, Netanyahu proclaimed: “This deal will pave Iran’s path to a nuclear arsenal.” After the deal was finally struck, he said that Iran “is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons.”
Now we have a report that a notable authority disagrees with Netanyahu’s assessment: the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission. This is the body that advises the government—that is, Netanyahu’s government—on nuclear matters. The commission, according to a report yesterday in Haaretz, found that the Iran nuclear deal was likely to prevent Iran from getting the bomb. According to Haaretz:

The commission’s members say they are convinced that the April 2 agreement between Iran and the world powers will prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. In recent years these experts have been analyzing information about Iran’s nuclear project, and estimating how far away the Islamic Republic was from developing a bomb.http://lobelog.com/israeli-nuclear-board-okays-the-iran-deal/#more-31581
