The American people are less prone to believe accusations against Iran made by Israel which has been “humiliated” by the nuclear accord reached between Tehran and the P5+1, a former CIA and NSA contractor says.
“The American public is becoming less inclined to believe the one-sided position, pro-Zionist position that’s been thrust upon the public for so long,” Steven D Kelley told Press TV on Saturday.
He also said that recent remarks by President Barack Obama that “we’re all pro-Israel,” are aimed at appeasing Israel over the Iran deal.
On Friday, Obama said he is committed to maintaining Israel's military edge in the region, during a webcast hosted by the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
Obama has taken a “diplomatic position to certainly placate the Israelis as well as the Christian Zionists here in the United States that have been making so much noise and opposition,” Kelley noted.
“But I think that there is still a very good possibility that the majority of this country will go along with this,” he opined.
Iran and the P5+1 group of countries - the US, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany – announced the conclusion of nuclear negotiations in the Austrian capital, Vienna, on July 14.
Israel and its supporters in the US have launched a massive campaign to defeat the historic agreement in Congress.
“We do have to be concerned, this is a dangerous time, we have to worry about a possible preemptive strike coming from Israel who is certainly feeling very humiliated over this deal” and some other issues, Kelly observed.
