Ex-Israeli Official: Time for Iran Sanctions Is Now
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman
The United States can’t afford to waste any additional time waiting for Russia and China to join an international effort to impose “crippling” sanctions on Iran, says former Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh....The purpose of the sanctions “is not just to prevent the Iranian nuclear bomb,” he said. “It’s to get rid of this horrible regime, which is cruel and brutal at home, and aggressive and spreading terrorism abroad from Afghanistan to Lebanon to Israel, everywhere.”...The refusal of the Obama White House to take concrete steps to halt Iran’s nuclear weapons program was baffling to Sneh. “We’re not speaking about declaring a war, about sending soldiers to get killed,” he said. “It’s legislation and the ability to impose legislation. That’s all. Not a drop – maybe a drop of ink, but not a single drop of blood.”
