Major Powers Reach Deal With Iran To Freeze Nuclear Program

The U.S. and five other world powers struck a historic agreement with Iran on Sunday, agreeing to ease part of an economic stranglehold in exchange for steps aimed at capping Tehran's nuclear program and ensuring the country's Islamist government doesn't rush to develop atomic weapons.

The agreement calls for Iran to stop its production of near-weapons grade nuclear fuel—which is uranium enriched to 20% purity—and for the removal of Tehran's stockpile of the fissile material, which is estimated to be nearly enough to produce one nuclear bomb.

Iran, in return, will gain relief from Western economic sanctions that U.S. officials believe will provide between $6 billion and $7 billion in badly needed foreign exchange for Tehran over the next half-year.

"historic." Spit.

Problem solved!

All Hail King Ubama! He saved us! Long live the King!

File this in the “I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky” file drawer.

This is good? The muzzies have hoodwinked us again. J F’n Kerry is so stupid that he forgot that the muzzies believe that all is fair, including lies, when dealing with the stupid West. “Historic”, indeed. Spit? More like vomit!

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

North Korea has nukes after its “deal”, and Iran will have its nukes.

The ass clown has done it again.

[immadashell]

Kerry has vast experience giving aid and comfort to our enemies. Watch out Israel.

Six months’ removal of sanctions ( and unmentioned subsidies and goodies) in exchange for six months’ delay in nuclear weapons production.

Like North Korea they can laugh all the way to the bank with this ‘historic deal’ LOL!

Val, no one knows you're the brains behind the deal, they all think it's me. You promise this won't blow-up in my face, right?

[JimSEA]

BHO to Israel: “If you like your country, you can keep it, irradiated though it (and you) may be.”

[fella]

I have a memory of something about peace being declared in the Middle east just before the S really HTF. Time to check out that hill country property and tell the girls not to get pregnant.

[headstamp 2]

This is the greatest thing since North Korea developing nuclear weapons anyway.

[GSWarrior]

“If you like your nuclear weapons, you can keep your nuclear weapons. Period.”

[fella]

Six months’ that will put things will start happening in about mid-May.

[MasterGunner01]

Only the morons in the MSM and the Donkey supporters of Dear Leader and the Low Info folks will believe this. Israel does not. This is another Munich appeasement all over again. Will Obama do a reprise of Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 “...peace in our time...” announcement to complete the loop.

BREAKING!:

Historic deal reached with Lucy. She will let Charlie Brown kick the ball!

Major Powers Reach Deal With Iran To Freeze Nuclear Program

Wow! What a relief! We can all sleep easier now.

Are the Western leaders really this naive?

Is Iran going to allow random on site inspections or something? Are they going to allow any facility to be visited?

If not, then this "deal" isn't worth the paper it's written on.

And I imagine that most sentient human beings are well aware of that fact.

In other words, this agreement has no practical meaning. It looks to be nothing other than a bribe to Iran, and the advantage to the West is that people like 0bama get brownie points (and nothing more) as a result.

I'll go way out on a limb here and predict that Iran will not honor either the spirit or the letter of this "historic" agreement.

No worries. Israel will see to its own security...

[dfwgator]

That sound you hear is the Iranian delegation laughing their asses off.

[getarope]

Trusting Iran is like trusting a fox to guard the henhouse!
