Consider the statement of the United States: “The inauguration of President Rouhani presents an opportunity for Iran to act quickly to resolve the international community’s deep concerns over Iran’s nuclear program. Should this new government choose to engage substantively and seriously to meet its international obligations and find a peaceful solution to this issue, it will find a willing partner in the United States.”
And comments made yesterday by Prime Minister Netanyahu: ““The president of Iran has been replaced, but the goal of the regime has not been replaced, it remains as it was. Iran’s intention is to develop a nuclear capability and nuclear weapons in order to destroy the State of Israel, and this constitutes a danger not only to us and the Middle East, but the entire world, and we are all committed to prevent this.”
Rouhani is a more pleasant face on an unchanged Iranian regime – a regime that is still the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, that is still helping Bashar al-Assad murder tens of thousands of his own people in Syria, and that is still – as Prime Minister Netanyahu pointed out – totally committed to developing a nuclear weapon and to using the West’s desperation to negotiate to buy time until it builds such a capability. Any talks Iran agrees to hold will be for the express purpose to delaying and deceiving. That the rest of the world knows this is beyond doubt. That it pretends otherwise and, instead, abides the fantasy of an Iran that is lead by a dialogue-seeking moderate is a disgrace for which the next generation will – and should – hold us accountable.
