A political commentator says the Israeli regime is the “only reason” behind the United States efforts, which aim to mount pressure on Iran over its peaceful nuclear activities, Press TV reports.
“In fact, all of the pressure behind this attempt to harass Iran about a non-existent nuclear weapons program is coming from one place and that is Tel Aviv,” said Kevin Barrett a senior editor at Veterans Today, in a Saturday interview.
“The fact is that the only reason that John Kerry and the Americans are putting so much pressure on Iran is that they themselves are being pressured by the immensely powerful Zionist lobby here in the United States,” the analyst stated.
Barrett also described the “so-called crisis” over Tehran’s nuclear energy program as a “gigantic hoax,” arguing that the Islamic Republic is “the last nation on earth that one really needs to worry about developing nuclear weapons.”

Iran and the six major world powers -- the US, Britain, Russia, China, and France plus Germany -- held intensive talks on Tehran’s nuclear issue in the Swiss city of Geneva earlier this week. The discussions kicked off on November 7 and stretched into an unscheduled third day.

Although an agreement was not reached in the nuclear negotiations, both sides stressed significant progress had been made and expressed optimism about the prospect of achieving a deal. Iran and the six powers have agreed to meet again in Geneva on November 20.

On Sunday, Israeli Economy Minister Naftali Bennett said the regime will lobby the US Congress in an attempt to prevent any possible deal between Iran and the six powers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also rejected a possible nuclear agreement with Iran as “a very bad deal” on November 8.

The analyst further said that the six powers “are going to reach some kind of agreement on this bogus nuclear issue with Iran,” adding, “the world is going to keep moving forward...and these regimes in Israel and Saudi Arabia are going to be left behind.”
