He has no confidence that President Obama will negotiate an agreement that once and for all will end Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions.

Thus the prime minister's objective is nothing less than to wreck the current negotiations and push America into a regime-changing war against Iran.

Netanyahu's narrative is a fabric of lies and omissions.

To begin, Iran has not sought a nuclear weapon, and the country's leader declares such weapons contrary to Islam. (For details, see Gareth Porter's well-documented Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare.) For a quarter century, Netanyahu has warned that an Iranian bomb is imminent. But U.S. and Israeli intel say he's wrong.

Iran nevertheless wants to reassure the world so that crushing economic sanctions will be lifted. Hence, the current negotiations. (Iran made similar overtures before.)
