The British analyst Robert Fisk viewed that there's no doubt that Geneva nuclear talks has called "Israeli" Prime Minister Netanyahu's bluff.
 
In an article he wrote in "The Independent", Fisk mentioned: "There's no doubt that Geneva has called "Israeli" Prime Minister Netanyahu's bluff. He may huff and puff, but if he wants to bash Iran now - on the basis that "Israel" must remain the only nuclear "nation" in the Middle East - he's going to be on his own when his planes take off to bomb Iran's nuclear plants."

"The Aipac attack dogs can be sent up to Congress again by that most infamous of "Israeli"-American lobby groups to harry Republicans in support of the Likudist cause, but to what purpose? Did Netanyahu really think the Iranians were going to dismantle their whole nuclear boondoggle?" the writer wondered.

In parallel, Fisk highlighted that the Iranian deal "marks a victory for the Shia in their growing conflict with the Sunni Muslim Middle East."
"It gives substantial hope to Bashar al-Assad that he will be left in power in Syria. It isolates "Israel". And it infuriates Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Kuwait and other Gulf States which secretly hoped that a breakdown of the Geneva nuclear talks would humiliate Iran and support their efforts to depose al-Assad, Iran's ally in the Arab world," the analyst added.

He further added: "In the cruel politics of the Middle East, the partial nuclear agreement between Iran and the world's six most important powers proves that the West will not go to war with Iran and has no intention - far into the future - of undertaking military action in the region."
"American and British people - those who had to pay the price for these monumental adventures, because political leaders no longer lead their men into battle - had no stomach for another Iraq or another Afghanistan," Fisk wrote.

Moreover, he stated: "Iran's sudden offer to negotiate a high-speed end to this cancerous threat of further war was thus greeted with almost manic excitement by the US and the EU, along with theatrical enthusiasm by the man who realizes that his own country has been further empowered in the Middle East: Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov."
"When Netanyahu said that the most dangerous regime in the world took a significant step towards obtaining the world's most dangerous weapon", many Arabs - and an awful lot of other people in the world, including the West - will have wondered whether "Israel", which long ago obtained the world's most dangerous weapon, is now - in rejecting the Geneva deal - the world's most dangerous government."

According to Fisk, "If Netanyahu and his clique in the government decide to twit the world's major powers amid their euphoria, he may bring about the most profound change in "Israel's" relations with the US since the foundation of the "Israel". It would not be a change for "Israel's" benefit."

"The Sunni Saudis, always waiting to spot the winner before opening their mouths, have already sat down with their Sunni Qatari and Kuwaiti allies to commiserate with each other over Shia Iran's new victory."
