"The nuclear talks between Iran and the major powers will renew in the coming days in Vienna. Israel is very disturbed by the willingness to lift the sanctions and allow billions to flow into Iran in exchange for insufficient restrictions in the nuclear sphere."

U.S. Iran Envoy Rob Malley:
"the indications they've [Iran] given...are not particularly encouraging."
Those demands are "tantamount to saying, we don't really want a deal; we just want to spend the next few months building our nuclear program."

We support this letter urging @POTUS to request that Congress include supplemental funding for Iron Dome before the end of the year.
Israel faces real threats of rocket attacks on multiple fronts and #IronDome is essential for protecting Jews & Arabs alike.

@RepJoshG
Im leading a bipartisan group of 87 Members to urge the President to support supplemental investment for the Iron Dome missile defense system to help save both Israeli and Palestinian lives.
This is critical to protecting innocent lives and to our own national security.

RAND PAUL. WHAT IS YOUR REAL PROBLEM WITH IRON DOME PROTECTION? With nextdoor neighbor Iran, funding HAMAS, & now Iranian nuke development in talks with China, why would anyone refuse a country the protections given by Iron Dome. ??
Who are you really shilling for Sen Rand Paul!

Budgetary is a damned weak excuse.
To deny protections offered with Iron Dome is tantamount to shrugging their shoulders at & encouraging annhiliation.
This is sick.
I hope President Biden can step in as asked in the above letter, & protect nations from the threat of Iran & their terrorist org HAMAS, & the opportunistic authoritarian govts that back Iran.

(7,839 posts)thereby signalling to the world America does not abide by its own agreements, so
Iran is being cautious, wouldnt you be if once bitten by America?
Meanwhile Israel wants more sweet free American dollars for a defence system not needed or ever needed if the old agreement is resigned. Hence the rocketing up of the fear factor again, it really does get old.

Hate away. That side of the story is bs.
Iran funding HAMAS to fk with Israel alone while they sit back & lie about their real intentions, still they thumb their nose at US, & embrace China & any other rogue authoritarian nation in their supreme quest for building their own nuke arsenal, while denying the Iron Dome protections leaves Israel & Arab people vulnerable to the threat of their power hungry neighbor, IRAN.

(9,629 posts)Re-opening trade with Iran is necessary, especially since the Conservatives in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are only interested in putting Republicans into office here in the US so that they can continue to have a free hand in the Middle East.

Allowing Iran to purchase all manner of goods from the west is good for the west as well.

(17,383 posts)Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, a top-level spokesperson for Irans armed forces, called for the destruction of Israel on Saturday during an interview with a state-run media outlet.
We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter, Shekarchi told the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA).
We want to destroy Zionism in the world, he added.
Shekarchi also denounced the diplomatic ties established with Israel by Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, dubbing the moves intolerable, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Pssst...it has nothing to do with budget.
"Calls for the annhilation of Israel" .
There are a number of Legislators who should be expelled for aiding the annihilation of a population of an entire country.
