The United States has formulated a plan to impose penalties and sanctions on Iran, and if the talks in Vienna fail, the powers participating in the talks are expected to join the sanctions - this is the message conveyed by US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan in meetings with the Israeli leadership yesterday and Tuesday.
The alternative plan includes tightening sanctions on the Iranian economy, including on oil exports and imports, condemnations in the Security Council, imposing personal sanctions on senior members of the Iranian leadership and more.
It should be emphasized that at this stage the United States expects the resumption of talks with Iran in Vienna next few weeks, and has no intention to run the punishment for Iran.
Only if nuclear talks fail, or if Iran will take very severe provocation, the government may turn to punitive measures against Tehran. Currently scenario It seems far-fetched, and in any case it will take weeks for Washington and the international community to face the crossroads.

Herzog said at the pilot's graduation ceremony that "Iran is a ticking time bomb," and called on the international community "not to be deceived and not to take the threat seriously. The Iranian nuclear threat must be neutralized once and for all, with or without an agreement."
Gantz stressed: "Iran is playing on time - and our joint responsibility, of the powers and of the countries in the region, is to turn the hourglass, and show the heads of the regime in Iran that time is actually playing against them."
