Israel’s Atomic Energy Commission has endorsed the Iran nuclear agreement, concluding that it would prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. The Commission joins dozens of former high-ranking security and intelligence personnel in Israel who agree that the deal is a net positive for Israel. Back in the US the neocons have dominated the debate, joining their ally Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in predicting doom and gloom if the world backs off its war footing against Iran. Of course Netanyahu has been predicting an Iranian atomic weapon is imminent since at least 1992, so like the neocons his credibility is low. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is beating down Iran’s door for trade opportunities now that the sanctions regime is effectively over. Everywhere but the US, that is.

The Neocons and the Israeli government and the Zionist opposition in the Knesset oppose the Iran deal because they want the United States to go to war to overthrow the anti-Zionist Iranian regime. Iran never had a nuclear weapons program, does not want nuclear weapons and recognizes that it would be suicidal for Iran to attempt to develop a nuclear weapon. The Neocon/Zionist induced hysteria about Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons program was a deliberate lie designed to bring the US into a confrontation with Iran for Israel's benefit.
