from Eye For Iran · host Iran International English
Alex Vatanka, founding Director of the Iran Program at the Middle East Institute, appeared on this week's Eye for Iran, discussing Iran's nervousness about potential Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities. According to Vatanka, Iran is using its nuclear program as leverage, not to send a message to Israel, but to the U.S., pressuring the American administration to rein in Israeli actions. He also noted the unprecedented openness of Iranian officials and media discussing the possibility of a nuclear bomb—something unthinkable just a few years ago.
