This Isn’t Obama’s Iran Deal. It’s Much, Much Worse (former official)
Tablet Mag ^ | Mar 7, 2022 | Gabriel Noronha

Anyone seeking to gauge the imminent outcome of the international talks over Iran’s nuclear program being held in Vienna should take a look at reports from late January that three top U.S. diplomats had quit—largely in protest over the direction set by U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley, who serves as the U.S. government’s chief negotiator.

Having served for two years in former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group, I knew that this development was tantamount to a public cry for an intervention. Such resignations—not of conservative dissenters, but of career staff and President Joe Biden’s own political appointees—should have been cause for Biden or Secretary Antony Blinken to recall Malley and investigate. Their failure to do so is a sign either of a troubling lack of attention to the talks, or else the possibility that Malley—who served in the same capacity under President Barack Obama when the first Iran deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was originally negotiated and signed—has been given a free hand to negotiate whatever he wants, as long as he gets Iran to sign. Evidence for the latter view can be gleaned from the fact that Blinken has reneged on his pledge that his Iran negotiating team would have “a diversity of views.” Instead, he has let Malley continue to concede issue after issue in Vienna. Multiple career officials view these capitulations as so detrimental to U.S. national security that they contacted me requesting that I rapidly share details of these concessions with Congress and the public in an effort to stop them. Reports out of Vienna indicate that a deal could occur within the next few days. While some issues are still being ironed out—such as whether the United States will grant Russia immunity from any economic sanctions relating to Iran, as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has publicly demanded—the details that follow have been conveyed to me as finalized. My subsequent discussions with foreign diplomats—including those directly involved and those outside but close to the negotiations—confirmed their claims. Ambassador Mikhail Ulyanov, who led negotiations on behalf of Russia, has crowed that “Iran got much more than it could expect. Much more,” and bragged about how Russia teamed up with China and Iran to get dozens of wins over the United States and European negotiating positions. The list of concessions that follows is long, detailed, disturbing, but also somewhat technical. But this much is clear to me: The deal being negotiated in Vienna is dangerous to U.S. national security, to the stability of the Middle East, and to the Iranian people who suffer most under that brutal regime. The lack of evidence to justify a removal of U.S. sanctions is illegal, and the deal that will be foisted upon the world without the support of Congress will be illegitimate. This deal will not serve U.S. interests in either the short or long term. With Robert Malley in the lead, the United States has promised to lift sanction...

I'm not real 'up' on the current state of affairs with the Israeli government but if Bibi were the top dog he surely would NOT allow it.

Perhaps they've gotten a bit wimpy like the Untied States.

It’s much, much worse because it IS an 0bama deal..

Only, this time, he goes completely UN-ACCOUNTABLE; he and Jarrett get to hide safely out of the picture while Prince Dementia takes the flak.

I'm sure Jarrett and Obama are still meddling, so it is still Obama's Iran deal.

If the result is so detrimental to peace in the Middle East, its signing should serve as the crux of a Biden impeachment.

#2 The Saudi’s are already known to allow Israeli warplanes to use their airspace as the Iranian targets are closer.

Israel has a knack for coming up with new and unexpected ways of taking care of business.

“largely in protest over the direction set by U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley, who serves as the U.S. government's chief negotiator.”

What is Robert Malley’s reasoning? Yes, yes. Clearly “HE” is the one giving nuclear weapons to Iran, funding Iran, and excusing every external terrorist support action and internal repression that Iran ever committed.

Following Obama-Jarrett’s direction from 2008-2016. Leading it, pushing it, demanding it.

But why? What is his fundamental trip? Hatred of Israel so bitter that he wants that country blown up?

Obama was born into a communist-”family” group, was brought up in a Muslim country and Muslim culture. Was indoctrinated by his renewed communist associations in Chicago.
Jarrett is herself Iranian.
Obama's Sec of State (Hillary (money and power) and Kerry (simple treason multiple times since 1967)) are easy to figure out.

But what is pushing the WH Chief of Staff Klein's buttons? He and Malley puzzle me.

“Jarrett is herself Iranian.”

She Who Must Not Be Named*, is definitely driving Obama.

*Roseanne Barr—reffered to her as “a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes.” And got immediately cancelled. Not for the Apes comment. For the MB truth.
