In response to the Israeli attack on Natanz, Iran is increasing enrichment to 60%. Highly problematic - yet predictable.
Iran tries to dispel the notion that the attack reduced Iran's leverage.
Yet, counter-escalation is what Israel wants as it makes diplomacy more difficult. >

All parties that want to see the JCPOA revived have a responsibility both to IGNORE and to CONTAIN spoilers.
Netanyahu is the biggest spoiler of them all and there is little evidence to suggest that Biden has contained - or even tried to contain him.

There's much that Netanyahu has done that Tehran has managed to ignore. Lack of Iranian capabilities has likely also contributed to this.
But attacks such as the one in Natanz cannot reasonably be ignored, which is precisely what Bibi counted on.

Whatever Biden's strategy has been with Netanyahu, it has not worked. Fortunately, Iran's 60% enrichment can be reversed. But Biden needs to contain Netanyahu's destabilizing strategy sooner rather than later lest it completely blows up the JCPOA.//
