Israeli launches spy satellite after US refusal to push for Iran’s weapons program’s dismantlement
Debka 10-Apr-14
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided not to delay the launch of Israel’s improved Ofek 10 spy satellite Wednesday night April 9, hours after the six powers and Iran wound up another round of talks in Vienna on a comprehensive nuclear accord. debkafile: Israel decided to show some muscle after the Obama administration agreed to raise Iran’s weapons program in future talks, but refused to take tough measures if Tehran continued to pretend that its weapons program is non-existent.
The top level of the US administration appears to have fallen into two factions pulling in opposite directions: President Barack Obama and National Security Advisor Susan Rice want Israel to carry the can for progress or obstacles in negotiations with the Palestinians, while letting Iran off the hook on its weapons program. Secretary of State John Kerry is more flexible.
