2. naive
geroge   (07.16.15)
iran will cheat, and will be doing covert work cause they want the bomb. Recall how ineffective inspections were in inspecting saddam's nuclear sites. This is a repeat performance. And the hit on iraq in 1981 still leaves them without a bomb and could be repeated. This professor like eitan haber is naiive.
3. Good analysis but too focused.
Shachar ,   Eilat   (07.16.15)
The agreement will probably stop their nuclear ambitions in the short term though they will definately wriggle out of it if there isn't vigorous enforcement. The major problem is that Iran's expansionist goals haven't changed and now they will have more money and means for fulfilling their goals. The sanctions regime was going to fall apart shortly so Netanyahus rejectionist stance was never going to achieve anything. Iran needs to be confronted on all fronts and for that we need a doer not a whiner.
4. Everyhing is " Iran will.." How could be checked it it
ab   (07.16.15)
really will do or that ? Inspecions with 25 days noice ,discussions on it with Iranians Russian,Chinese,French every time a suspected site to be visited ...Nonsense.
5. Relax?
john carlson ,   usa   (07.16.15)
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain....oh and please drink aaalllll of the collaide!
6. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW! Deal is catastrophic
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.16.15)
Dumb leftists praise every disaster including Oslo, Disengagement, the North Korea nuclear deal and the catastrophic Iran deal. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
7. It's A Perfect Deal For Israel!
David H ,   Marietta USA   (07.16.15)
Hey, the "deal" is great, few questions. But alas, it is 100% UNENFORCEABLE, and you are dealing with serial liars and serial weaklings on the part of Iran and the US, respectively. Relax? I'm pooping in my shorts over this betrayal! For what it's worth, this is almost the same deal Clinton offered North Korea to keep them from developing a bomb. That really worked out well for everyone too, didn't it?
8. Very well put!
Jason Davis ,   Soldotna, Alaska USA   (07.16.15)
Great article, Uzi -- thank you for telling it like it is!
9. Professor understands science, not politics
SK ,   Tel Aviv   (07.16.15)
Inspections regime quite lacking for currently unknown nuclear facilities. No chance in hell of sanctions coming back. Western businessmen are tripping over themselves to sign deals with Iran.
10. Facts might be useful
Bertram ,   London, UK   (07.16.15)
I have really enjoyed reading some of the responses to this article. Not one single post has provided any factually based counter assertions. I guess all the Israel based physicists and nuclear experts must be in the pay of leftists and appeasers, otherwise we would have heard from them. At the same time, I am intrigued by the comment of Solomon Balas: "Iran already has at least 2 nuclear development sites no one knows about". If no one knows about this how comes Solomon Balas knows? I am sure if he knows lots of other people must know. Unless he knows because he is a member of Israel's secret service, in which case his cover is blown and he should probably disappear as soon as possible.
11. Indeed
(07.16.15)
"need to run" because of professor that not analysed destructions of these evil Arab regimes quest of stock pilling chemical and weapons of mass destruction. What is next??? They will be reapers of their own doings.
12. But this time!!!!!
(07.16.15)
NATO member states are increasing their defence budget 2% of GDP. That's uncomfortable thing for Iran ambitions. If they amassed 250,000 forces in Iraq war good luck to Iran if any Islamic madness step on their toes from that part of Arabia/Middle East that already volatile and spewing..
13. Iran Deal
Joel B ,   Okatie, USA   (07.17.15)
Now is the time for Israel to accept and adapt to this new reality, repair relations with the US and EU governments and determine and request what additional material and political support Israel needs in the years ahead.
14. 10 Bertram , Balas might have...

21. Iran Nuclear pact
Arthur ,   Palo Alto, USA   (07.23.15)
THe Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for Israel’s destruction, stating that the “barbaric” Zionists “has no In a rant posted on Twitter Saturday night, the religious leader called on Palestinians in Judea and Samaria to arm themselves and rise up against Israel. Iran is working full-time tob develop a Nuclear weapon. Their previous leader Rafsamjani has been quoted as saying that this nuclear weapon will be used to destroy the Jews of Israel. Meanwhile, President Obama, who in his campaigns said that he would never let Iran get the Nuclear Bomb, seems now to have exactly done so.
22. SANCTIONS
Lammie Goodman ,   Israel   (08.05.15)
Iran will cheat - they know how to hide things. All the p5+1 and otjher countries are falling over each oither to be the first to start doing business with the Iranians. When the Iranians cheat - no sanctions will be reimposed - there cannot possibly be a "snapback" - it is idiotic to think it can happen. Europe and others will be s economically unable to cut off all ties. They may even have nuclear bombs already for all we know. They keep on saying that their intention is to destroy Israel and the USA. They mean it. They are cunning. They are laughing at this deal in which the West utterly capitulated, surrendered and made complete fools of themselves. We liberal westerners will have only ourselves to blame when all hell breaks loose in the Middle East. The current chaos will look like a kindergarten picnic in comparison to what will happen. The Ayalollahs care nothing about the welfare of their people. They are religious fanatics and reall believe with all their hearts and minds that killing infidels will bring them their perverted version of the "Messiah" and they are willing to nuke tens of millions of poeple to make this happen.; Allah in fact commands it.
