WASHINGTON – The threat of a military attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities this year appears to have substantially subsided over the past several weeks as a result of several developments, including the biting criticisms voiced recently by former top national security figures of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
That a war seems significantly more remote than during the winter months, when tensions reached an all-time high, was confirmed to some extent on Monday when the US “newspaper of record”, the New York Times, ran a front-page article entitled “Experts Believe Iran Conflict is Less Likely”.
let’s hope so. (not that it is just ‘the calm before the storm’ or ‘misleading the enemy’).
