Amid tensions between the United States and Washington over a pending nuclear agreement with Iran, former U.S. diplomat Dennis Ross on Tuesday offered creative ways to reconcile those differences.
Ross, who spoke at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv and was quoted by the Defense News website, suggested that transparent "anytime, anywhere" inspections on Iranian facilities must be put in place. Different, more stringent protocols based on the number of operating centrifuges Iran possesses must be applied, he added.
"You have to ensure that you can verify that a program that has a thousand or two centrifuges is dramatically less than what is required if you have tens of thousands and you'd have to come up with an approach that allows you a high level of confidence that you can cover that," Ross said.
Clear, predetermined consequences must be established for specific Iranian violations, he added.
"There should be use of force worked out with the Hill that says, if we catch them in the following kind of violation, the implication is we will take out those facilities. That would deter the Iranians, that would go a long way toward addressing one of the basic Israeli concerns," argued Ross, according to Defense News.
Retired Israeli Brig. Gen. Yosef Kuperwasser disagreed with Ross's suggestions, replying that, as far as Israel is concerned, Iran cannot be trusted to comply with those parameters.
