More extremism from Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Is there anyone who did not think Iran was chasing nuclear weapons? This is proof and makes a liar out of the Supreme Leader. Or does it? Does the Supreme Leader know about these files and ambitions? Prime Minister Netanyahu in his own words stated few people knew of this treasure trove of information.

The issue at hand is that now everyone knows Iran was actively seeking nuclear weapon capacity. I would think that is more reassurance to the global community that the Iran Agreement in regard to it's nuclear capacity is in place. But, I don't believe anyone involved with the Iran Nuclear Agreement is so naive they did not believe Iran was capable.

Obtaining those records is a major accomplishment for Israel. Israel has proven it has an incredible capacity to know and understand danger for the nation and it's people. No one ever would underestimate Israel's capacity for national defense against those that would like to hurt the Jewish people. Most global leaders would never doubt Israel.

Proof before an international audience of leaders is extremely important. Iran has allies that would seek to protect it's interests. So, the proof the Prime Minister has is very important and it is very important he demonstrates the depth of the knowledge about Iran that Israel possesses.

The question is, does this new proof carry concern that the Iran Agreement needs to be reviewed? Is there so much deception by Iran, in light of these records, the agreement be left intact but improved upon for greater assurances not previously known?

I doubt the agreement should be ended, so much as reviewed for accuracy and improved upon to secure the region even more than the mechanisms now in place. I think Israel has every right to seek reassurances from the international community now that greater truths are known.

Good evening. 

Tonight, (click here) we’re going to show you something that the world has never seen before. Tonight, we are going to reveal new and conclusive proof of the secret nuclear weapons program that Iran has been hiding for years from the international community in its secret atomic archive....

Of particular interest is a new provision by the Knesset regarding the use of war powers:

The Knesset voted late Monday (click here) in favor of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request to grant him the authority to declare war with only the defense minister's approval in extreme situations.

Netanyahu made the request in the morning during a debate on a bill aimed at transferring responsibility for declaring war from the full cabinet to the smaller security cabinet. The joint committee of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee rejected his request but it was later voted for by the Knesset plenum....
