Yesterday an Iranian general brazenly declared and I
quote: 'Israel's destruction is non-negotiable' . But evidently giving Iran's
murderous regime a clear path to the bomb is negotiable.
This is unconscionable.
I agree with those who have said that Iran's claim that
its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes doesn't square with Iran's
insistence on keeping underground nuclear facilities, advanced centrifuges and
a heavy water reactor. Nor does it square with Iran's insistence on developing ICBMs and its refusal to come
clean with the IAEA on its past weaponization efforts. At the same time, Iran
is accelerating its campaign of terror, subjugation and conquest throughout the
region, most recently in Yemen.
The concessions offered to Iran in Lausanne would ensure a
bad deal that would endanger Israel, the Middle East and the peace of the
world.
Now is the time for the international community to insist
on a better deal. A better deal would significantly roll back Iran's nuclear
infrastructure. A better deal would link the eventual lifting of the
restrictions of Iran's nuclear program
to a change in Iran's behavior.
