Israel Sends Delegation to U.S. to Counter NIE Report
December 17, 2007 by pulkit
The Israelis probably have in Ahmadinejad their most perilous enemy, no matter how delusioned. He has openly threatened them time and again and given them every reason to take the Iranian threat seriously. But the recent U.S intelligence report was a bolt from the blue for the Israelis, and the unwaivering U.S-Israel realtionship has been rocked by it. Now the Israelis are trying to sell their own story of the Iranian nuclear program, which is the true story indeed. In this regard an Israeli delegation is in the U.S. It is in the best interest of U.S-Isarael relations that the Israeli story is listened to and believed. It also needs to be believed and then acted upon if we are to avert anything catastrophic. Iran remains dangerous in intent and nuclear weapons are certainly not beyond its reach.
Israel’s Ynet news portal reported on Sunday that a delegation of Israeli intelligence officers is currently in the US in an effort to convince American intelligence agencies that Iran is still seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. [source]
