American elections are always closely watched by foreign nations. But there may no more interested observers of tonight’s midterm results than the leaders of Iran. The ability of the Obama administration to pursue détente with Iran and to cut a new weak deal that will enable the Islamist regime to become a nuclear threshold state may rest on the ability of President Obama’s party to hold onto control of the Senate.
The administration’s zeal for a deal with the Iranians appears undiminished by Tehran’s decision to continue to impede the efforts of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to discover what is going on at their nuclear plants. As the Wall Street Journal reported last Friday, the IAEA has made public the fact that there has been no progress made in getting access for inspections despite a year of negotiations. The Iranians are, as is their wont, continuing to run out the clock on the West on those talks. At the same time they are stringing the U.S. along in its efforts to broker a deal despite reports of far-reaching concessions that would allow it to keep their nuclear infrastructure in any agreement.
Given the growing sentiment in Europe for ending economic sanctions on Iran, there is no guarantee that watering down the terms of an agreement even more will entice the Islamists to sign a deal ending the standoff. Yet given the administration’s signals about treating this issue as their top foreign-policy priority, it seems likely that Obama will get some kind of an accord that will enable him to say he has addressed the world’s concerns about the nuclear threat from Iran even if it does little to diminish that threat.

He’s been protecting ( and more recently financing )the Iranian mullahs’ nuclear bomb and ICBM missile factories for some five years or more already. Very doubtful he will suddenly abandon his islamoNazi stripes. They’re his most consistent feature. But who can say? Pray for America. Maybe the good Lord will help protect us
As we already know, the NY Slimes shilled for Zero today, claiming that Iran has tentatively agreed to let the Russians cart off all their processed uranium and turn it into something less likely to be made into bombs. And it’s a complete fiction, a lie.
We’ll see, but so far, both political parties have been appeasing Iran for more than 10 years. They do it for their more influential constituents concerned with international trade for their own pocketbooks.
