Wednesday July 15, 2015I've Been Thinking:
The newly-signed nuclear agreement raises more questions than can possibly be answered. But we have got to start somewhere.
So, here is one of the biggest questions I have about the Iranian deal: Why are the Iranians dancing in the streets now that the agreement has been finalized?
The best reason I can give is that now that the stifling sanctions will be lifted, Iranians will have clear access to the West and billions of dollars of new income.
That is just one reason. The Iranians have many, many more reasons to feel elated. For example, by now we have all heard about the 24 day notice that Iran will get before inspections take place and we know that the Iranians have the option to reject the requests and instead have a hearing of the committee from the P5+1 and Iran.
But did you also know that:
Iran can have 300 kg of enriched uranium.
Iran need not shut down, seal or freeze any sites.
Iran can have 5400 centrifuges in Natanz and 1000 in Fordow.
Iran need not come clean about their past violations.
Iran does not need to stop its surface to air missile program.
Iran will continue its nuclear R&D.
Iran's heavy water plant in Arak will continue to operate.
In other words, not only did Iran get everything it wanted out of this agreement, but the West got almost nothing in the agreement.
And as for Israel, well, Israel needs to improve the relationship with Obama and his entire administration.
More crucial and to the point, Israel must improve their intel and their anti-missile program. Iran is sprinting towards outfitting themselves and their friends with nuclear potential. And we all know where they will aim during target practice.
