Are the Europeans stalling, trying to bait Trump in keeping the nuclear deal alive?
Dr. Emmanuel Navon: Macron's true mission was to buy more time and convince Trump to remain in the deal.
The American-British-French strike in Syria should be seen as an exercise in building Western deterrence and creditability in advance of the decision expected next month regarding the nuclear deal with Iran.
Given the bad nuclear deal signed with Iran, Israel must be diligent about risk management; no matter how relentless intelligence gathering efforts are, not all threats can be countered. Israel will not allow enemy states to go nuclear.
What needs "nixing" is not the JCPOA – a piece of paper – but the Iranian nuclear infrastructure.
Only the use of force can stop Iran from fulfilling its ambitions. Israel is on its own in this regard.
