Maj. Gen. Amos Gilad (ret.), director of the diplomatic-security bureau of the Defense Ministry, is convinced that Iran has not decided to abandon the military component of its nuclear program. According to him, the deal is one big exercise in deception by the Iranian regime.

Gilad, who formerly headed the research division of the IDF’s Intelligence Corps, thinks that Iran came out the winner in its negotiations with the world powers, and that this is a bad outcome not only for Israel, but for the stability of the entire Middle East and the free world in general.
