Obama Has ‘Israel’s Back’ Preventing Iran Nuke
Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Washington-based policy research group Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the only audience that counts for Obama’s message that he won’t tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran is Netanyahu and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“It is now up to him to back up his words with meaningful action that sends a message to Jerusalem and Tehran about the strength of his resolve,” said Dubowitz, who has advised the administration and members of Congress on sanctions. Those actions, he said, include crippling sanctions, support for the Iranian opposition and preparations for military action.
