‘All rhetoric, no action’ — US official
An unnamed senior US official tells CNN the prime minister’s speech has “literally not one new idea; not one single concrete alternative; all rhetoric, no action.”
The official says Netanyahu offers “no concrete action plan.”
“Without a deal, Iran will certainly advance its program — installing advanced centrifuges, fueling its plutonium reactor and reducing or eliminating its breakout timeline. That would leave us with the choice of accepting a nuclear-threshold Iran or taking military action,” the official says.
“Where is the alternative? Simply demanding that Iran completely capitulate is not a plan, nor would any country support us in that position. The prime minister offered us no concrete action plan.”
