Given that the VOA is a mouthpiece of the State Department, and the slant of this article, I sense that Obama will try to get Iran to abandon Syria's Bashar al-Assad as part of the Iran deal. Perhaps this is one reason that the deal is so one-sided in Iran's favor: there are unstated quid pro quos, Assad's demise being one of them. This, of course, would please Saudi Arabia and perhaps bring them on side with the overall deal.

If successful, this would further isolate Israel, a primary Obama objective.

I don’t know but I am sure it’s a “thin red line.” Maybe Putin will explain that to Obama since he’s so clueless.

Iran’s support for Assad has been critically important to protect its nuclear program. In return for the support given Assad, Iran has received access to forward Syrian locations for its modern Chinese made short range mobile ballistic missiles. If Israel were to attack Iran, it could not stop a devastating counterattack from these missiles. Iran will do all in its power to keep Assad in power and its bases in Syria.

BHO2 has probably done the impossible: driven Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait into the arms of Iran. They really have nowhere else to go.

This is completely incompetent of both BHO2 and John Kerry.

Iran is in very deep in Syria in ways not generally known and certainly not known by the average Iranian. And, too, not in ways that the US media will report as it would harm Obama if it came out.
