The Imminent Disastrous Agreement With Iran
While all eyes are on Ukraine, the Biden Administration and its partners are rushing to sign a new agreement with Iran as early as next week.
Part of that agreement is that all sanctions against Iran including those on dozens of governmental institutions and individuals will be removed. In addition, all sanctions are scheduled to be removed from the Revolutionary Guards–the Iranian military arm that carries out terrorism around the globe.
Included on the list of those whose sanctions are being removed are General Hussein Dahgan, who was behind the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, and the terrorist masterminds who were responsible for the 1994 bombing of the offices of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires.
Part and parcel of the sanctions removal will be the release of Iranian money frozen abroad.
Not only will all sanctions be removed, money handed over, and the terrorists in Tehran welcomed back into the global community, but also the Iranians have already announced that they will continue to refine and enrich uranium to 20%. Moreover, there seem to be little mention of Iran’s ballistic missile program which the ayatollahs are specifically developing to carry nuclear warheads to Israel.
In short, the Iranians are getting everything that they have demanded.
Everything.
To put it a different way, the U.S. and its cohorts have completely surrendered to Iran. All that PM Bennett, FM Lapid, and “Defense” Minister Gantz can say is that the agreement “will not be the last chapter.”
This is just a euphemism for doing nothing.
Former PM Netanyahu posted this message on Facebook today:
“Bennett and Lapid say nothing and do nothing while Iran is welcoming a terrible nuclear deal that endangers the security and future of the State of Israel. This bad deal will give Iran money for terrorism against us from the north and south, and will give Iran an international kosher certificate for an arsenal of nuclear bombs against all Israeli citizens. We must act against Iran with all our might – and immediately!”
The new agreement with Iran is total appeasement and an imminent disaster.
