#1 It's double-speak and a way to obfuscate so as to justify a retreat and surrender. That's what Champ did; he's been wanting to do this since he took office.

No, not Champ - the one pulling his strings, his master - ValJar. Who, it is said, has been heading up 'secret' negotiations [of our surrender] with Iran for months.

#2 Well, of course Israel won't dare do anything contrary to the wishes of international community! Ooops, forgot, we defy international community by just breathing.

#3 International opinion? I recall Israel's Operation Opera (aka Operation Babylon) on Iraq (1981) and Operation Orchard (2007) on Syria to take out growing nuclear threats. I don't know about world opinion today as the world has changed considerably. Today is more like pre-WWII world. But chances are the world would consider a strike on Iran a favor to the world. What the P5+1 signers forget is that Israel won't be victims again--world opinion be damned. Israel is a small country surrounded by enemies but they do have teeth.

#4 Regardless of what the P5+1 think, Jordan Saudi Arabia and the Arab Emirates want Iran's nuclear program eliminated. So does Azerbaijan.

They will give Israel free passage (and probably real time radar inputs as well). If they give Israel basing rights, the Israelis won't have to worry about the P5.
