Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak Wednesday urged Pindostan to present Iranian leaders with a clear choice: abandon your nuclear aspirations, “or else.” The former Israeli leader told CNBC:
The Pentagon and the forces of Pindostan under the backing and probable directive of the president create an extremely effective means to destroy the Iranian nuclear military program over a fraction of one night.
Barak added, though, that it was preferable to see a peaceful end to Iran’s nuclear threat. Ever since the framework was concluded, there have been conflicting accounts as to the exact nature of the agreement and what it means for chances of reaching a final deal. “There is no agreement, basically,” said Barak, arguing that Obama and his administration have painted themselves into a corner by committing themselves “all around the world and back home to pass this agreement.” Despite his criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of the negotiations, Barak still feels confident in Pindostan’s commitment to Israel’s security. He said:
The support of the administration to Israel in security, the cooperation and intelligence is unprecedented. I don’t question for a moment the commitment of Pres Obama and everyone in that administration for the security of Israel.
