- As Mr Trump has made
clear at his press conference in Japan, where he is currently on
a state visit, his main objective is to agree a new deal with
Tehran, one that, unlike Mr Obama's flawed arrangement,
addresses all aspects of Iran's nuclear ambitions, as well as
its malign activities in the Middle East.
- "I really believe
that Iran would like to make a deal... I think that's very smart
of them, and I think that's a possibility to happen. It has a
chance to be a great country with the same leadership." —
US President Donald J. Trump, press conference with Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo, May 27.
- Mr Pompeo told me that
that Washington was not pushing for regime change in Tehran, but
was instead seeking a revised agreement that satisfied all of
Washington's concerns about Iran's conduct, and not just the
narrow issue of uranium enrichment.
- To date, the Iranians
have responded to the Trump administration's actions by
threatening to intensify their policy of destabilization in the
region.
The aim of
US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran
nuclear deal was not to provoke a military confrontation with Tehran.
On the contrary, his main objective is to agree a new deal with
Tehran, one that, unlike Mr Obama's flawed arrangement, addresses all
aspects of Iran's nuclear ambitions, as well as its malign activities
in the Middle East. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
There is one simple way for Iran to defuse the
mounting tensions with the US and its allies in the Gulf: return to
the negotiating table and agree to a new deal on Tehran's nuclear
programme.
Amid mounting concern that Washington's recent
military build-up in the Gulf region will lead to renewed conflict,
many commentators appear to have lost sight of the Trump administration's
key objective when it withdrew from the 2015 deal negotiated, in
large part, by former US President Barack Obama.

- "But Israel is
doing bad things to the Palestinians," the European
apologists insist, "and we are sensitive to the plight of
the underdog."
- No, you're not! Where
are your demonstrations on behalf of the oppressed Tibetans,
Georgians, Syrians, Armenians, Kurds, or even Ukrainians? Where
are your BDS movements against the Chinese, the Russians, the
Cubans, the Turks, or the Assad regime?
- None of this is to
deny Israel's imperfections or the criticism it justly deserves
for some of its policies. But these imperfections and deserved
criticism cannot even begin to explain, must less justify, the
disproportionate hatred directed against the only nation-state
of the Jewish people and the disproportionate silence regarding
the far greater imperfections and deserved criticism of other
nations and groups including the Palestinians.

Why are so many of the grandchildren of Nazis and Nazi
collaborators who brought us the Holocaust once again declaring war
on the Jews? Why have we seen such an increase in anti-Semitism and irrationally
virulent anti-Zionism in western Europe?
To answer these questions, a myth must first be
exposed. That myth is the one perpetrated by the French, the Dutch,
the Norwegians, the Swiss, the Belgians, the Austrians, and many
other western Europeans: namely that the Holocaust was solely the
work of German Nazis aided perhaps by some Polish, Ukrainian,
Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian collaborators.
False.
The Holocaust was perpetrated by Europeans: by Nazi
sympathizers and collaborators among the French, Dutch, Norwegians,
Swiss, Belgians, Austrians and other Europeans, both Western and
Eastern.
