On the surface, Iran and Israel have been enemies since the start of the 1979 revolution.

While we in the West obsess over Israel’s red line vs America’s red line for Iran’s nuclear program, there are two other red lines which are extremely important but are not being discussed.
They are Iran’s red lines.
Obama has proved himself to be the master of manipulating Iran’s red lines to our advantage, which is one reason among others why we in Israel can trust him.

North Korea’s Experience and Iran
North Korea has managed to defy sanctions and international pressure by building numerous nuclear bombs. This is in addition to holding several nuclear test.
