The Israelis will still be able to screw up Iran’s nuclear program. The US will be of little help to them.
I've been following the Iran nuclear program debate for years now. I really don't think the near panic and hyperbole in Netanyahu's words and actions is because he truly fears a nuclear attack from Iran.
The release of the billions and billions held in escrow paves the way for Iran with its oil and population (70 million people, vast majority of which are highly-educated and under the age of 35) to become the economic powerhouse of the Middle East.
Russia will certainly help bring Iran's military hardware up-to-date, so Iran also becomes a major military player--even without nuclear weapons. And Iran's allies will no doubt benefit from this.
This would be a true shift in Mideast paradigms.
For the time being I also think this is a done deal. So, I hope Israel is able to work out a deal with the US for lots more advanced weaponry. I also hope Netanyahu can exhale, take a moment and resist the urge for veiled military threats. Now is not the time.
Now is the time, IMHO, for Netanyahu to see that the status quo may be coming to an end--making now the perfect time to mend fences with the EU and the US. It may also be the perfect time for building stronger and closer relationships with other countries in the Middle East arena.
