One Jerusalem Conference Call With Dore Gold: The Rise of Nuclear Iran: How Tehran Defies the West [Video]

Defied

This morning's One Jerusalem conference call was with Amb. Dore Gold, who's on a media blitz for his just-published book The Rise Of Nuclear Iran. Also on the call: Avi Green (Tel Chai Nation), Jerry Gordon (IsraPundit), and Jim Hoft (Gateway Pundit). The audio will be up on their frontpage in a couple hours but in the meantime there's a Fox and Friends video of Gold discussing the book below, also via One Jerusalem.

Basic points from the book and the call: (1) Engagement has already been tried and won't work, (2) Iran will keep their nukes off-limits during negotiations anyway, (3) the mullahs are very deliberately running out the clock, and (4) they already has enough nuclear material to build the Bomb plus the intercontinental ballistic missiles to deliver it.

Not that they'd need to, since some of their tests show they're preparing for a shore-based EMP attack.

Where the book gets particularly detailed is on the grinding diplomatic and military dynamics of a post-nuclear Iran: an Iranian "nuclear umbrella" to terrorists like Hezbollah and Hamas that detonates the War on Terror, Iranian hegemony over the Middle East that puts stability at the whim of the IRG, and increasing Iranian interference in Latin America at the cost of US influence.

The book is systematic, it has documents that have rarely seen the light of day, and it's as on-point to the next few months as any dead tree publication can be. Grab the audio from One Jerusalem and then buy it.
