Ex-Ambassador Bolton Says Israel Must Strike Iran Soon

Posted on 06/01/2015 1:04:47 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

On the sidelines of the Israel Day Concert in New York's Central Park on Sunday, former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton gave a rundown of Iran's nuclear program and the impending deal on curbing it, in an exclusive Arutz Sheva interview.

While negotiations between Iran and world powers have reached an interim agreement ahead of a June 30 deadline for a final deal, Bolton predicts that the Iran negotiations are "doomed to failure."

"I don't think Iran has any intention of giving up its efforts to get deliverable nuclear weapons," said the former ambassador. "Even if a deal is signed sometime in the summer I think the ayatollahs will violate it even before the ink is dry."

Lending credence to those suspicions, top Iranian officials have said they will start using advanced IR-8 centrifuges that are 20 times as effective as standard ones as soon as a deal is reached, even as the US asserts a deal will limit the usage of advanced centrifuges.

According to Bolton, the West doesn't have enough knowledge about Iran's covert nuclear program, nor does it possess any sufficient mechanism to monitor possible violations of a future deal, meaning such a deal will only "legitimize Iran's path to nuclear weapons."

So why is US President Barack Obama so earnestly pressing for a deal with Iran?

In Bolton's estimation his actions stem from a belief that negotiations can change the nature of the hostile Islamic regime, because Obama "is driven by an ideology that sees American influence as part of the problem, and if he can show the ayatollahs that we are no threat to them that they will happily give up their 30-year pursuit of nuclear weapons. I just think that's flatly wrong."

Sure. Strike, Israel. If you succeed, they will denounce you from the roof tops of the UN. If you fail, they will denounce you from the roof tops of the UN. And most likely you will fail.

May 18, 2008: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us. ...they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the military. I mean, if Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance.

May 20, 2008 (2 days later!): Iran is a grave threat. It has an illicit nuclear program. It supports terrorism across the regions and militias in Iraq. It threatens Israel's existence. It denies the Holocaust.

Israel will succeed in the end. And if we in the nations wait for it, that’s what we’ll get (Prophets).

The point is that if we do nothing but oppose Israel, even passively, we will not succeed. And there’s more than one definition for succeed.

I would read Ezekiel 38. Then you’ll see where it goes.

It’s not Israel attacking Iran. But Israel does survive.

Israel should have struck before Obama took power (as I said then). They are far less likely to succeed at all now, and even a successful strike would be less effective now in any case. Still, they should strike now or soon. Waiting for a nuclear Iran to strike first would be even worse.

If Israel strikes in September, odumbo will order that the U.S. strike Israel in October. Nothing would surprise me.

Strike, but do it “smart”. Find a way to cause a nuclear “accident” at their nuke facility. Plausible deniability rules.

"

I only said that Israel will succeed (as in continuing to survive as an heir). Other nations won't. I haven't been limited to reading small bits of the Prophets without focusing on every word for a long time.

Isaiah 43:11

Zechariah 14:9

Malachi 3:6

There’s gonna be some mighty rough times. It is the Remnant that survives it all. Basically 1/3.
