Obama's Deal With Iran Bearing Fruition

[alismith]

Obama felt compelled to lift sanctions on Iran and supply them with nuclear materials. Iran promised to use those materials generating power. John Kerry made sure they were going to follow the guidelines of their brokered deal.

After all, any nation governed by Islam, is fully trustworthy.

On a side note:

I wonder why Iran is building and testing long range missiles....

And, I wonder what payload they will be carrying....

And, I wonder where they are going to aim them....

I, especially, thought this sentence very interesting:

"Iran launched a new long-range missile late last month, a general announced on Monday, trumpeting the accuracy of the latest such weapon to be test-fired in defiance of the West."

The sanctions hurt the Iranian economy and likely the common citizen much moreso than the regime itself, however I find the entire thing ludicrous. Russia has been Iran's trading partner since the Shah was deposed. My guess is Iran could (and has) simply buy whatever nuclear weapons they wanted from Russia. Or China.

I wonder about that old Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and how we would respond to such violations by Russia or China?

I don't think anyone in the Russian or Chinese govt would be dumb enough sell a nuke to the Persians. Now I'm sure if any got out of their control to a third-party, that third-party may have no qualms about selling it to the highest bidder.

Time to turn Iran from sand to glass.

One of the ships had a russian cap and some crew, oddly enough, and russia is great friends with iran. I wouldn't put it past mossad or US int agencies to pull it off ala gulf of tonkin incident. I mean, the Iranians are dumb enough to do this but keep in mind certain uninvolved countries would profit from a war between the US and iran. The houthis have been supplied with the iranian version of the chinese silkworm antiship missile, and the houthis have used them on saudi boats so it may have been them but I don't know if they have torpedoes alleged by the Russian captain to have been used. Also just saw some footage allegedly from US sources showing a small vessel alongside one of the tankers with the crew placing limpets on the tanker but you can fake video and lots of int agencies have the motive to do so. Anymore you can't trust what you see with your own eyes when it comes to int agencies and the fabrication media.

The time for that was 40 years ago when they took our embassy. The "peanut farmer" just didn't have it within him to do anything constructive about it.
