Israeli public opinion makes a US-Iran nuclear deal urgent,
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, By Doreen Horschig | May 14, 2021 Israel has consistently opposed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that the Biden administration is seeking to revive. The recent diplomatic talks in Vienna have been a welcome opportunity for proponents of the deal. But when progress was reported, Israel allegedly damaged an Iranian military vessel and a few days later caused a power outage at the Iranian nuclear site in Natanz.
Israel believes Tehran never abandoned its ambition to become a nuclear-armed state and that the deal paves the path for realizing this ambition. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration have been trying to convince the United States that a return to the JCPOA would be a mistake unless major flaws are addressed.
