Israeli government sources: Iranian windfall from nuke sellout is $700 billion
Israel Matzav ^ | 7/21/15 | Carl in Jerusalem

The windfall to Iran from the lifting of sanctions comes to $700 billion according to Israeli government sources cited by former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren.
Instead of blocking Iran’s path to nuclear weaponry, the deal, in fact, provides two paths. Under its terms, Iran could develop advanced centrifuges capable of enriching uranium at 20 times the current rate. By repeatedly exploiting the 24-day head start that the deal affords Iran before it has to let international inspectors visit a suspected site, the ayatollahs could cheat and make a bomb well within the deal’s 10-year time frame.

Or Iran could comply with the agreement and emerge with all of its nuclear facilities intact and thousands of advanced centrifuges that can produce an entire arsenal of bombs in virtually no time at all.

And while Iran likely chooses between these two paths to atomic bombs, its neighbors, beginning with Saudi Arabia, would rush to acquire their own. The result would be a strategic arms race that would transform the already unstable Middle East into a nuclear powder keg.
In the interim, Iran would be released from the sanctions that took the world a decade to impose. These cannot be “snapped back” if Iran were to violate the deal, as its defenders contend, but reinstated only after a lengthy international process that excludes all the contracts signed by Iran before it were to cheat. As such, the deal serves as an incentive for foreign companies to sign a great number of short- and medium-term contracts with Iran. The windfall is estimated to reach $700 billion, according to Israeli government sources.

That cash could be used by Iran to fund its global terrorist network, its efforts to overthrow pro-Western governments in the Middle East, and its continuing massacre of Syrians, Palestinians and Yemenis. The money could purchase the world’s most advanced weapons systems, all of which the deal would make available to Iran by eventually lifting the arms embargo. Iran could upgrade the 100,000 rockets in Hezbollah’s arsenal with independent guidance systems capable of targeting any site in Israel — oil refineries, airports, even the Knesset. The Jewish state will face its first conventional strategic threat in more than 40 years.

Finally, Iran could invest in extending the range of its intercontinental ballistic missiles, the sole purpose of which is to carry nuclear warheads. Intelligence sources estimate that, in a few years, Iranian ICBMs will be able to hit the United States’ East Coast.

All of these activities could be coordinated by Iranian military commander Qassem Suleimani and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, father of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program, whose United Nations sanctions reportedly are being lifted. Meanwhile, Iran’s centrifuges would continue to spin. And American security forces that once tried to penetrate Iran’s nuclear program would then — astonishingly, according to the deal’s Annex 3, Section D10 — be obligated to help protect it.
But it's okay. By the time Iran is capable of hitting the United States, President Obama and Mooch will have retired to Kenya.

What could go wrong?

O ran America some 7 TRILLION extra dollars into debt ... supposedly to build extensive new ‘infrastructure’ by means of “shovel-ready jobs’

none of which occurred...and the $7 Trillion disappeared.

Since then, we’ve heard of multi-million dollar gifts of our federal tax funds to various previously-unknown ‘community organizing’ type groups and street gangs.....and hundreds of millions of our tax dollars to planned parenthood...hundreds of millions of our tax dollars to the Islamic terrorist gang PLO/PA, and now nearly a trillion more going to the Iranian IslamoNazis.

seems that pretty soon a full accounting for our missing $7 Trillion will be possible...

My opinion, Iran already has enough fissionable material to produce bombs.

This is like the conversation on illegals, the Fed Gov has been claiming 11 million for years when it’s more like 40.

A year ago they were claiming Iran was months away, now they say within 10 years, not buying the BS.

You might want to take 2 of them...

Previous reports about the final Iran deal mentioned that lifting the sanctions against Iran will inject $150 BILLION into their economy.

[I have not seen the following comparison mentioned by anyone else.]

Rep. Peter Roskam, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and chair of the Oversight Subcommittee, compared the Iran economy to the US economy and said that injecting $150 bil into Iran’s economy is the equivalent of injecting $8 TRILLION into the US economy.

Now we are talking about a ballpark of $700 BILLION?
