US Pressing Israel to Lose Its Nukes

Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Countryman visited Israel, spoke to diplomats about making Middle East nuke-free.

Assistant US Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation, Thomas Countryman, recently visited Israel and held talks with senior Foreign Ministry officials, about the possibility of making the Middle East nuclear-free.

Washington seeks to advance the idea after reaching agreement with Russia about the matter.

The State Department confirmed Countryman's visit and sources in the US Administration said that Israeli agreement to the idea would be a catalyst for bringing additional countries into discussions on the matter.

The Americans have been attempting to convene an international conference on the subject for some time, without success. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke about the idea with pessimism, and said it was “a very tough challenge.”

It all makes so much sense, because the Israeli government just knows the Obama Administration has its best interest at heart....

Won't happen, but I understand his motivation. Iran's genocidal objective would be easier to obtain if Israel didn't have nuclear options.

That is just too rich, as Obuttboy has given his muzz buddies in Iran the green light to develop theirs.

If this is accurate, it is the height of arrogance and naked contempt from this regime.

Thanks to Obama, every surviving regime in the Middle East wants nukes. Obama want to let Iran have nukes, but take away Israel’s nukes. He knows exactly what the consequences will be and is okay with it as long as the Iranians promise to nuke Israel AFTER he leaves office.

I pray daily for the Peace of Israel but like Ronnie Reagan used to say...trust but verify. I don’t trust Obama are Israel’s enemies to keep any end of any agreement they agree too. Besides as another Freeper said...Hey ISRAEL has never admitted they have nukes so make OBAMA prove it. Amen

So; Iran can have a nuke (or many) but the rest of the Arab states and the only democratic state (and ONLY Jewish state) cant have them? Do I have that right?
Just exactly how much is Iran paying the bastard in the white hut?

Multiple sources reporting this. I believe it’s Putin’s idea from a couple years ago, the administration has decided it’s time to lead from behind Putin.
