The United States seems to be saying they can get a package of sanctions to get Iran to back down, but ... I don't see that coming. I don't anticipate [Iran] refreezing [its nuclear] program.

They want to be able to present this as a fait accompli .

A comprehensive security-assurances approach should address the concern in the Middle East about Israel's nuclear weapons.

I think the Europeans will cave but it will be a slow-motion cave.
