Iranians Cheer as Netanyahu Advocates Lifting All Sanctions

Have you ever seen a delayed reaction to a joke?  It took a while, but the Iranians get it.  Bibi has inadvertently provided a path for the lifting of all sanctions with no concessions by Iran.

Step one:  The United States acts in bad faith by making unrealistic non-negotiable demands at a late stage in the negotiations without support of its negotiating partners, Germany, France, Great Britain, China and Russia.

Step two:  The negotiations break down with everyone blaming the US.

Step three:  The Republican Congress imposes meaningless unilateral sanctions. since the US does not buy Iranian oil.

Step four:  The rest of our negotiating partners repeal or ignore all sanctions.

Step five:  Iran continues to build nuclear weapon capability.

Step six:  Israel bombs Iran, or talks the US into doing it.

Step seven:  The unintended consequence is that the Arab world rallies around Iran,  Iranian hardliners become more entrenched and the US standing in the Middle East further diminishes.
