The relationship between the US and Israel has reached a breaking point because of the Israeli regime�™s barbaric and uncivilized policies toward Iran, a political commentator said on Tuesday.
�œWe�™ve really come to the fork in the road on Israeli and American relations, and it�™s primarily because Israel put the gloves off,” said Jim W. Dean, managing editor and columnist at Veterans Today.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the US, Britain, Russia, France and China – plus Germany, sealed an interim nuclear deal in Geneva on November 24 which aims to pave the way for the full resolution of the West�™s decade-old dispute with Iran over its nuclear energy program.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has labeled the deal as a “historic mistake”. However, US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have strongly defended the nuclear agreement with Iran, pushing back against rising criticism from Israel and Congress.
Kerry admitted after the interim agreement was reached in Geneva that no amount of sanctions would have stopped Iran�™s nuclear energy program.
�œAll the experts that we had informing us, all of the countries involved….not one agreed that [sanctions] would have any effect and that we had to do something different,” Dean quoted Kerry as saying.
Kerry �œmade a big point of publicly telling Israel that no one, no one supports their policy and that they went against everybody in this, trying their luck by passing more sanctions,” Dean added.
Iran says the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to which Tehran is a signatory, entitles the country to continue uranium enrichment – a right which Israel says Iran must be deprived from.
