Iran should surrender, not the West

On Thursday, after the Democrats lost the midterm elections, U.S. President Barack Obama said that he prefers not signing a deal with Iran to signing a "bad deal." It's possible that he meant what he said, but the question is, to what extent is a good deal for Washington also a good deal for Jerusalem-

Meanwhile, Tehran should be happy: A "good deal" is achievable for Iran, and it's just short of being served on a silver platter. The deadline to sign the deal between Iran and the powers (Nov. 24) is only drawing nearer, and in the United States, there are a growing number of reports saying that it is expected to be the crowning achievement of the Obama administration. It's good to know that after six years, the White House found the formula for a legacy -- but why does it have to come at our expense-

The past few years have proven that Washington does not know how to decipher the Middle East. That has been the case with Egypt, Libya, Syria, the Palestinians, the Islamic State group and with Iran, unfortunately. We have to admit that this a problem with the West in general, which has been infected with the wishful-thinking bug.

It would be comfortable to believe that Tehran has changed and that the deal will put an end to the Iranian nuclear bomb project. Just read last week's headline in The Economist that explains to us that Iran has changed. The liberals in the West are buying the story -- but the liberals in Iran are not.

It is important to understand that today the West is even more interested in a deal than the Iranians. That's why in the beginning, the West accepted the idea that the extremist Ayatollah regime could develop a nuclear program. Now, it has been decided to allow them to keep thousands of centrifuges (5,000 out of 19,000). What do they need so many for? To develop medicine? For electricity? The Iranians, with their incredible chutzpah, are doing this during the negotiations. If they give it to you -- would you not take it-

The Iranians lied about their nuclear program three times in a single decade. Three reasons that mean negotiations should not be between equal partners. The Iranians are the ones who should be compromising, making concessions, surrendering, begging for a deal. But that is not the case.

In Washington, they really calmed us down over the weekend by telling us that the secret letter that Obama sent to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei did not make a connection between the war on terror and the deal. Everyone in this story is trying to come off as innocent. Iran wants a civilian nuclear program, and the secret letter was actually Maimonides' letter...
