to cross out the tight relations between israel united states i'm joined by valerie and lindsay in washington she is the editor in principal researcher for iran watch also in washington we have ordered khichri he is a tenured professor of law at arizona state university and in jerusalem we go to my ordinary she is a freelance journalist and writer all right folks cross talk rules and if i don't use you can jump in anytime you want i very much encourage it i'm i if i go to you first are a public opinion poll came out in israel last week it to found that nineteen percent of israelis favor attacking iran without american support and only forty two percent favor an attack on iran even if it has american support but at the same time apac is in washington d.c. saying it's go to war go to war go to war as a path representing the interests of israel. and my opinion not at all and i think that you started with a brilliant question and it was something i wanted to bring out myself israeli public is not marching to war or iraq meaning our defense minister and that's and yeah oh ok and then you have a pa

ok valerie i'm sure there is no matter where you join me in the service no reason was already i want to have valerie stearns go ahead please i think we need to let's leave aside the nature of the iranian regime and just look at what would happen if iran were in a position where it had nuclear weapons we're talking about an issue an inheritance problem if there's any kind of instability in the country what happens to the weapons we're talking about the reaction of other countries in the region who are going to want to develop nuclear nuclear capability or even nuclear weapons of their own it's already quite unstable region so i think there are a lot of dynamics here that are incredibly worrisome for israel in the united states weaving aside the nature of the rani and regime which is worrisome ok or what about israel's nuclear weapons program kind of a moot point because i understand why you go ahead right. this is kind of a moot point because i understand that there is a ronnie a nuclear program that if there was a strike that it would set back the program it wouldn't end the program

go ahead valerie jump in that's the whole point of the program go ahead when when you when u.s. intelligence says that iran has suspended or frozen its nuclear weapons program it's talking about a very small part of an overall nuclear weapons program it's talking about weaponization we're going to zeeshan and delivering a weapon are about ten percent of the overall sort of effort that's required to make nuclear weapons overwhelmingly the most important aspect is making nuclear fuel and what iran is doing now on the ground at a fortified plant in florida is essentially creating a stockpile of fuel they could be quickly enrich to weapons grade for a breakout capability or if i go to you what if the proposal of having a nuclear free zone for the entire region meaning israel opens up its nuclear arsenal for inspection do you think that would be a comp that could be on the table for diplomacy i mean that's fair isn't it transparent isn't it. i think i think that's a very interesting idea and obviously the nuclear nonproliferation treaty review conference call for a conference in two
