Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett this weekend blasted world powers for including in the comprehensive agreement with Iran a provision that in essence suggests that they, including the U.S., might protect Iranian nuclear facilities from future external threats, including “sabotage.”
Bennett was referring to Annex III of the agreement forged between Iran, the U.S. and five world powers which addressed issues related to nuclear security.
In the section titled “Nuclear Security,” the document states that those who negotiated the deal — the U.S., China, France, Russia, the U.K. and Germany — “and possibly other states, as appropriate, are prepared to cooperate with Iran on the implementation of nuclear security guidelines and best practices”:
Co-operation in the following areas can be envisaged:
10.1. Co-operation in the form of training courses and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to prevent, protect and respond to nuclear security threats to nuclear facilities and systems as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems;
10.2. Co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems.
Bennett wasn’t the only one to sound the alarm
Well, it is reasonable to assume that those clauses to protect the Iranian Nuclear facilities will be the only clauses of the entire agreement that Obama ever enforces and that he will enforce them liberally and diligently.
America is now the guarantor of the safety and security of Iran's nuclear weapon's program.
All that's needed to put this disaster into law is thirty some Democrat votes.
Since the deal is so bad for America, all but most radical Democrats will be reluctant to vote for a veto override because they fear the loss of their seats. Therefore so the vote will be close, but there are enough Democrats with safe seats to prevent an override of Obama’s veto so the agreement will become law.
The only bright side is that the Iran deal is being treated not as a formal treaty, but as simple piece of legislation which can be rescinded at any time by a simple majority vote if there is a President willing to sign it.
Any future President can also unilaterally cancel the agreement at any time by claiming that Iran is not following through on it's side of the deal.
However, this whole process has allowed Obama to give Iran 7 years of freedom to continue developing it's nuclear program with very few restrictions and will give them at minimum another 18 months of even greater latitude and several hundreds of billions of dollars worth of funds to get the job done on a working bomb in that time frame.
By the time Obama is out of office, Iran will have a nuclear arsenal to call it's own. At that point the Obama agreement will be irrelevant and moot.
At that point, a nuclear armed Iran will be the one in a position to dictate terms to the rest of the world so no country will dare to try to impose sanctions on Iran any more.
Iran will then simply ignore the Obama agreement that gave Iran both the freedom and resources to complete their atomic bombs and to buy or build the ballistic missiles to deliver them.
Russia is already threatening to sell Iran advanced missile systems
This agreement is simply a tactical move to allow the Iranians to buy time and freedom to operate to finish their nuclear arsenal. This is the true parallel with Neville Chamberlain's Munich Accord with Hitler. Both Hitler and Iran entered into their respective agreements never intending to honor or follow through with their respective agreements. Instead they both use the agreements as to stall for time to prepare for war.
