Iran’s game plan
Says sanctions are the only thing holding Iran back. Says sanctions are “bearing fruit,” and thanks US and other countries. “Regime is under intense pressure from people” to get sanctions removed. Rouhani wants to get sanctions lifted but doesn’t want to give up nuclear program.
Netanyahu lays out Iranian game plan:
1. smile a lot
2. pay lip service
3. offer meaningless confessions
4. ensure Iran retains sufficient nuclear material to race to the bomb at a time that it chooses to do so.
