Iran Nuclear Deal Formally Adopted
Wall Street Journal ^ | Oct 19, 2015 | Felicia Schwartz and Jay Solomon

The Obama administration began implementing its landmark nuclear agreement with Iran with an eye toward lifting expansive sanctions imposed on Tehran in the past decade.

Concerns from opponents of the deal continued to grow, however, as senior administration officials during the weekend played down the importance of a United Nations probe into whether Tehran has attempted to secretly develop the technologies needed to build atomic weapons.

The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, is committed under the deal to release a report by year-end about the status of Iran’s alleged weaponization work. U.S. officials over the weekend said the IAEA report would have no bearing on moves by the international community to lift sanctions.

Putin and Iran have been at this deadly game for a long time now.

2002

(Putin blindsides Bush)

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — President Bush arrived in Vladimir Putin’s hometown Saturday ready to take in a ballet, a boat ride and a tour of the Hermitage museum before settling down for the night as a guest of the Russian president.

The two leaders have grown close, particularly since Bush played host to Putin at his Texas ranch six months ago. This reciprocal visit to Russia was full of warmth, or at least it started out that way...

....Minutes later, the two leaders walked out in front of the world’s television cameras and Putin blindsided Bush.

At the height of Bush’s celebration over his most significant achievement with Putin, the signing of a nuclear arms treaty Friday, Putin announced that Russia had no intention of severing its ties with Iran.

For months, Bush has insisted that Russia stop working with Iran, which the United States accuses of supporting terrorism. Moscow is helping Tehran build two nuclear reactors that the Bush administration has claimed would ultimately be used to develop nuclear weapons.

The day before, a senior administration official had ratcheted up the rhetoric to put additional pressure on Putin, calling the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran “the single most important proliferation threat there is.”

Given the chance to respond publicly, Putin not only declared that Russia’s relationship with Iran was entirely proper and that the nuclear reactor was for civilian use only, but he turned the entire issue of nuclear proliferation around on Bush.
