After Washington emerged from the Iranian nuclear deal, there were only two ways to thwart the ambitions of the Islamic republic – a new agreement or war. Recent events show another scenario.
About this in a publication for the agency «Bloomberg» said an American expert on foreign policy and national security Eli Lake.
According to him, the problem with the option of the agreement is that Washington will still conflict with Iran because of Middle East differences. Thus, it may seem that the States need a full-fledged war to defeat an objectionable “regime”.
“An alternative to the deal is not necessarily an expensive and dangerous war,” the author writes. “There are more effective ways to thwart the regime’s nuclear ambitions.”
In this regard, the expert recalled that since last month, three Iranian military installations have been attacked. One of them was intended for the production of centrifuges. Lake is sure that Israel is behind the attacks. In addition, satellite images of the object show that this is more like a “deliberate act” than an accident.
“There are several good reasons to believe that all this was an act of Israeli sabotage,” the expert explains. – For starters, the Israelis have done similar things before. In the early 2010s, Israeli Mossad conducted a series of killings of Iranian nuclear scientists. Before that, Israel and the United States collaborated in a cyber attack on Natanz, which accelerated its centrifuges, which led to their destruction. ”
In addition, the author continues, recently Israeli spies broke into a warehouse in Tehran and stole the technical archive of Iran’s nuclear program. Such sabotage makes Iranian officials think that the Israelis surrounded them. As a result, even in Iranian society, the authority of the local government can be undermined, which will contribute to the revolutionary scenario, says Lake. In this case, the United States will be able to stay away.
