Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu and Obama are slated to emerge for a press conference any minute now. While we wait, Times of Israel analyst Avi Issacharoff writes that all the fuss over Obama’s phone call to Rouhani last week is being blown way out of proportion:
“Many analysts have already determined with utmost certainty that the Rouhani outreach is just an elaborate Iranian scheme, while others are equally convinced that we are truly witnessing a strategic change in Tehran. I believe some caution is still required, as well as time, in order to understand if and how much Iran has actually shifted course. The likelihood of Tehran halting uranium enrichment altogether is quite low, though it may agree to enrich uranium at levels that suggest no intention of producing a nuclear bomb.”
