Nuclear flaw Tel Aviv faces shadow war if Iran deal is revived
The Guardian Weekly
|March 04, 2022
The US decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal was an immense personal achievement for former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In a leaked video, he boasted that he had convinced Donald Trump to scrap the 2015 accord between Tehran and world powers.
But four years on, the Israeli leader has been booted out of office -as has Trump. Both Congress and the Knesset contain more leftwing voices, while in Iran, moderate Hassan Rouhani lost last year's presidential election to hardliner Ebrahim Raisi.
International negotiators in Vienna are edging closer to what amounts to a watered-down version of the original deal. It has now become a source of concern for Israel's political and security establishment.
“The US has tried maximum pressure with sanctions, Israel has assassinated nuclear scientists and carried out attacks designed to limit Iranian military activity around the region. But none of it has worked, said Danny Citrinowicz, who led Israel's military intelligence research between 2013 and 2016. Now we are out of options, and I worry that Israel and Iran are on a collision course in the near future.

Cool retreats Hill stations swamped by tourists fleeing heat
Until recently, the drive up the mountainous road to Landour was a highlight of a visit to the hilltop town, as drivers enjoyed glorious Himalayan views and breathed in the cool forest air. Today, the journey is something to be endured with up to 1,000 cars a day clogging the narrow, winding road - slowing to navigate hairpin bends. A journey that once took five to six hours from Delhi can now take up to 10 hours, especially at weekends in May and June.

How the rise of Zohran Mamdani has divided Democrats
The Friday night before election day, Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist running for mayor of New York City, walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill Park at its northern tip to the Battery - about 20km. Along the way, he was greeted by a stream of New Yorkers enjoying the sticky summer night - men rose from their folding chairs to shake his hand, drivers honked in support and diners leapt up to snap a selfie with the would-be leader of their city.

While the death toll mounts, Israel's allies must help build a future for Palestinians
“We cannot be asking civilians to go into a combat zone so that then they can be killed with the justification that they are in a combat zone.” It defies belief that the Unicef spokesperson, James Elder, should have needed to spell that out last week.
