Iran Leader Threatens Increase to Uranium Enrichment After US Withdraws From Nuclear Deal
IJR ^ | 5/8/18 | AARON CREDEUR

Iran's president warned that his country could start enriching uranium faster if negotiations with the countries remaining in the nuclear deal aren't productive.

Responding to President Donald Trump's decision on Tuesday to withdraw from the deal, President Hassan Rouhani of Iran said that there's only a “short time” to negotiate with other countries as the U.S. ratchets up pressure on its allies to join it in rejecting the accord, reports The Associated Press.

Speaking on Iranian state television, Rouhani said that he'll be sending Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to the countries still in the deal to negotiate ways to keep it afloat.

He went on the threaten that “in the next weeks” Iran would restart uranium enrichment, a key process for manufacturing nuclear fuel.

“I have ordered Iran’s atomic organization that whenever it is needed, we will start enriching uranium more than before,” Rouhani declared.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA) is designed to place restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions. But with Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Obama-era deal, many European countries will be facing pressure to follow suit.

While French, German, and British leaders have come together in support of the deal, Trump's decision is the culmination of repeated promises he's made on the campaign trail and in office. Trump has often criticized the accord for not being tough enough in the limits placed on Iran's nuclear program.

Meanwhile, the European Union foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, called upon the other countries involved in the deal, including Russia and China, to respect its terms rather than joining the U.S. president's stance.

“The nuclear deal with Iran is crucial for the security of the region, of Europe and of the entire world,” Mogherini said while calling on Iran to “not let anyone dismantle this agreement.”

U.S. lawmakers remain divided on the issue as the international community grapples with how to respond to the sudden shift in U.S. diplomacy toward Iran.

Iran may have received an additional $33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016, according to testimony provided before Congress by an expert on last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran.

Between January 2014 and July 2015, when the Obama administration was hammering out the final details of the nuclear accord, Iran was paid $700 million every month from funds that had previously been frozen by U.S. sanctions.

The worst-case scenario here is that Iran may have received as much as $33.6 billion in cash or in gold and other precious metals.

If Obama just dreamed up 150billion in unauthorized cash, he violated the anti deficiency law and should be in jail for it.

Maybe Brussels could send the Iranians a pallet or two of Euros.

My greatest fear in all this is that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is going to set the Doomsday Clock to five before midnight again. Because I just don't think I could bear that.

Send them depleted uranium first and when the Warthogs are done with them, THEN the plutonium to mop up the survivors.

“Where did 0bama get the $billion in cash?”

From us. Yes. But exactly where? What account? Congress did not authorize this.”

So dont it make you wonder why not ONE congresscritter bothered to ask publicly - “WHERE DID THIS $15 BILLION COME FROM, MR. PRESIDENT???

Not a ONE. Completely unaccountable.

Someone ought to hang for this blatant B.S.

They never stopped ANYTHING after this fake "deal."

The only change now is that Obama, Podesta, Valerie Jarrett and their Eurotrash partners will lose out on BILLIONS thanks to Donald J. Trump.
