A lot of odd comments in this thread. And one oddity that keeps coming up is that several participants want to debate the nuclear issue til they’re blue in the face. Have you forgotten that during the negotiations it was the USA that sounded concerned primarily about the nuclear threat, whereas Israel was pushing to have the ballistic missile threat addressed?

In any case, does it really matter what reason a spokesperson uses as a talking point? It’s clear as day that in one way or another, for decades Iran has been behind the vast majority of security threats to Israel. Both the proxies and the ballistic missiles pose a very substantial threat to Israel – before you even get started talking about nuclear weapons.

And if you think this is something Israel can live with, take a moment to imagine if Mexico (or Mexican cartels) or Cuba or Venezuela had 2,000 ballistic missiles pointed at US cities. Would anyone deign to tell the USA they can learn to live with that?
