Not quality journalism. It falls into the he said/she said category. However the HS/SS doesn't hold when only the Israeli side of the UN sanction of Iran is reported. It's an important story weakly told.

It is a quality piece of journalism. The writing is crisp, sentence placement evokes ire or consternation or even anger when read. This is better then editorializing as each reader can bring their own emotionalism to the article. This is sparse, factual, and not overwitten. Nicely done.

US, very stupidly, is pressuring Turkey to make amends with Israel.
