In a phone interview with CNN Tuesday evening, Trump claimed that there's "something in the Iran deal" that "people don't understand" saying if someone attacks Iran, "we have to come to their defense."
"Does that include Israel?" Trump asked. "And most people say yes, they don't have an exclusion for Israel. So if Israel attacks Iran, according to that deal, I believe, the way it reads, unless they have a codicil or they have something to it, that we have to fight with Iran against Israel." ..."
Trump was most probably referring to language highlighted by the opponents of the deal. On page 142, the deal includes a clause that states, "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."
Washington-based Center for Security Policy asserted that Annex III appears "to commit the United States and other world powers to the defense of Iran's nuclear program."

As the Pentagon warily eyes a Russian military build-up in Syria, Western intelligence sources tell Fox News that the escalated Russian presence began just days after a secret Moscow meeting in late July between Iran's Quds Force commander - their chief exporter of terror - and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Fox News has learned Quds head Qassem Soleimani and Putin discussed such a joint military plan for Syria at that meeting, an encounter first reported by Fox News in early August. ..."
The Quds Force is the international arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, involved in exporting terrorism to Iran’s proxies throughout the Middle East including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. ..."
Officials who have monitored the build-up say they've seen more than 1,000 Russian combatants - some of them from the same plainclothes Special Forces units who were sent to Crimea and Ukraine. Some of these Russian troops are logistical specialists and needed for security at the expanding Russian bases.
FR should institute an ignore function.
I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts Cuba was involved too.
The 1st WTC bombing, 9/11, and the 2007-2009 NYC subway bomb plot were all attacks against the economy and Castro dreamed up an attack against the economy with his failed “Black Friday” bomb plot.
All of the terrorist attacks have old school communist/1960s radical leftist fingerprints all over them.
Probably Russia and/or China as well. Both are well on their way to reestablishing themselves on the world stage. What better way to launch this move than to attack the very center of American capitalism.
I doubt Russia.
In 1991 when the 1st WTC bombing was being planned Russia wasn’t in any shape to risk war with the US.
In 1996 B Clintons buddies in the Chinese military were caught smuggling in full auto weapons for the gangs in LA described as enough weapons for a small army and that was to make sure B Clinton didn’t leave office.
1996 was called “the summer of terror 96”.
Ron Brown was scared and was about to start talking when he ended up dead.
The Clintons and their allies in the MSM were ginning up civil unrest with phony stories of Black Churches being burned.
Brian Ross in December 95 had once again dredged up the R King case.
Before that it was the OJ Simpson murder trial that had been used to stir up the racial pot along with the Million Man March which screwy Louie described as his “Million Man Army”.
Again all of it straight out of the 1960s radical leftist playbook/Weather Underground playbook of starting a race war.
Since then, Putin has given them The Bomb, and they're working on ICBMs. Thanks Olog-hai.
I have never declared support for any candidate. As yet.
With all due respect, saying something is “unadulterated BS” looks to me like “unnecessary diatribe”.
I also did not call you “anti-Israel” in particular; I don’t believe you are. However, I recognize the “Sunnis and Shiites never cooperate against the West/are irreconcilable mortal enemies” canard as one of the slippery slopes towards “Israel makes the US fight its wars for them” ad nauseam.
Sorry. I thought I saw somewhere that you were for Trump. Must have been someone else.

If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Needless to say the administration will ignore the ruling in the favor of terror victims, as it has in the two other verdicts against Iran. When the feds do it, money laundering is fine. Court judgements don't count.
