Former Israeli national security adviser: US is playing into Iran’s hands in Vienna

On Israel with Ben Caspit, an Al-Monitor podcast

On his podcast this week, Ben Caspit hosts Brig. Gen. (res) Prof. Jacob Nagel, the former Israeli acting National Security Advisor. The ups and downs in the talks conducted these days in Vienna, says Nagel, are not real drama. These are well-orchestrated stories that the Iranians are running, with all the climax points fixed well in advance. Nagel explains that the way things stand now, there is no returning to the 2015 nuclear agreement, adding, “Even the Biden administration’s special envoy on Iran, Robert Malley, understands that.” The reason, he says, is that the mistakes made at the time enabled the Iranians to advance their nuclear ambitions over the years.
