nuclear facilities. Its belligerent prime
minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has for
years been pressing Obama to destroy
Iran’s nuclear programme and -- better still
-- bring down the Islamic regime
altogether.
Faced with these obstacles, it is clear that
any U.S. deal with Iran would require
careful preparation. Obama would need to
mobilize strong domestic support if he is to
confront America’s vast array of pro-Israeli
forces. They include Congressmen eager to
defend Israeli interests at all costs (as was
vividly illustrated by the recent Chuck
Hagel confirmation hearings), powerful
lobbies such as AIPAC, media barons,
high-profile Jewish financiers like Sheldon
Adelson, a phalanx of neo-con strategists in
right-wing think tanks, influential pro-
Israelis within the Administration, and
many, many others. The cost in political
capital of challenging them could be very
substantial. Nevertheless, elected for a
second term, he now has greater freedom
and authority than before.
