“It’s obvious where Israel stands,” he said. “Similarly, neocons and special interest groups like AIPAC
[American Israel Public Affairs Committee] are trying to preemptively
shift the goalposts for these negotiations so that Iran has to go even further
in their concessions. The neocons view themselves as being close to the
finish line, and these meetings are their last obstacle to war. It’s
clear that they want to prevent a shift in Iran’s willingness to
negotiate.”
On top of AIPAC and the neocons, Abdi addressed other stumbling blocks.
“Iranian
conservatives are highly suspicious of these talks, whereas the Saudis
view Iran as their main economic competitor,” he said. “Saudi rulers are
clinging to the status quo, and in that regard they’re not real
dissimilar to Israel. Neither wants an ascendant Iran.”
Particularly interesting is the fact that everything Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu currently accuses Iran of doing in terms of its supposed quest
for “the bomb” was already carried out by Israeli scientists beginning
in the 1960s.
