It appears that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has resigned herself to the fact that Iran will indeed build a nuclear bomb, releasing a statement that is such an event occurs; American will protect her allies in the Mideast.

During a visit to Thailand, Clinton stressed that if Iran is aware American stands by her allies’ side, the balance of power in the region will not shift.

Minister of Intelligence & Atomic Energy Dan Meridor however is not relaxing in response to the secretary’s statement, stating we mustn’t permit Iran to achieve nuclear independence, rejecting a sit back and wait attitude.

Meridor warned that it would appear America is already accepting a nuclear Iran as a fact of life, and this he adds makes him feel extremely uncomfortable. At present he insists, we should not deal with scenarios addressing a nuclear Iran, but we must address how to prevent such a reality.

Israel is less than pleased with the position adopted by the White House vis-à-vis Iran, promoting dialogue all the while Tehran advances its nuclear program, ignoring international sanctions.
