This should make things really interesting... Israel and Saudi Arabia announced they have been meeting secretly to oppose Iran.

These are sworn enemies who fear Iran...they are also the two countries that have the most to fear from Iran, yet they have no seat at the negotiations with Iran. Dore Gould of Israel...

"Gold went on to say that Iran is now outfitting groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon with precision-guided missiles, as opposed to the unguided rockets Iran has traditionally provided its allies in Lebanon. He also said Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps forces propping up the Bashar al-Assad regime are now close to the Israeli-Syrian border."

A few years ago, it was mainly Israel that rang the alarm about Iranian expansionism in the Middle East. It is significant that now Israel is joined in this campaign by Saudi Arabia, a country that has wished for its destruction since 1948.

The two nations worry today that President Barack Obama's efforts to make peace with Iran will embolden that regime's aggression against them."

The ongoing fear that any deal with Iran could bring about a nuclear race in the Middle East springs to mind; it is not mentioned in this article, but these two countries are sworn enemies and they fear Iran enough to form this pact because of what Iran is DOING already.

I sincerely hope that I just do not get it and my fear of this deal is unfounded, but in addition to the above, the date of June 30 approaches quickly and that date is of itself the subject of conversation now....

"The question of timing is thorny for Obama and his top negotiator with Iran, Secretary of State John Kerry, who was injured in a cycling accident last weekend and whose travel schedule may be affected. On one hand, they are under pressure from those who say that Iran is simply dragging out the talks with no intention of agreeing to severe restrictions on its nuclear program. But others argue that the greater danger is the prospect of concessions made under an artificial deadline."

"With a June 30 deadline for a nuclear deal with Iran approaching, western experts and foreign allies — including a top Israeli official — are urging the Obama administration not to treat that date as sacred for fear of giving Tehran leverage in the high-stakes talks.
“The Iranians are using delay tactics. It seems they want to come close to the deadline without an agreement,” Yuval Steinitz, Israel’s energy minister, who is in Washington this week for meetings with top Obama officials, told POLITICO on Thursday. If that happens, Steinitz said, “there will be no time to close all the loopholes and clarify all the details. And this will serve the Iranians.”
