Iranians See Victory, Hope for New Image in Nuclear Agreement Street celebrations in Tehran follow announcement By ARESU EQBALI and ASA FITCH April 2, 2015 Iranians greeted the news of an agreement with world powers on its nuclear program Thursday night with street celebrations and expressions of hope about their country’s political role and economic engagement with the rest of the world.

Families drove along Valiasr Street in central Tehran honking, flashing headlights and playing loud music into the early hours of Friday. A group of young men blockaded one street and chanted “Freedom,...

Iranian celebrations, unfortunately, are premature. There is no deal.... Obama, Kerry, and Iranian FM Zarif all emphasized a basic truth:.... the deal’s not done yet.

June is far off when you consider the wars raging in Syria, Iraq and Yemen,... all of which involve Iran and the United States to varying degrees.

It’s been estimated that Iran is only two or three months away from potentially acquiring the raw materials that could be used for a single nuclear bomb......between now and June is almost 3 months and we really don’t know how close they are already.

Now the deadline dates been moved again til June....Iran has time to do what they want til then.

What I learned this week is that there is no deadline.

What there is is liars lying about madmen with nuclear missiles.

This getting extremely scary.

But what is America focused on?

Homosexual wedding pizza catering.

I sense disaster in our future.

Chris, the homosexual issue and the Pizza joint was a massive diversion created by the Left Wing to take our eyes what is really going on. But it does show us the LW is only laser focused on Homosexual rights as a protected group that has more rights than straight people. After all, the Lesbian teacher that tweeted to burn down the Pizza store hasn’t even been detained. If this were a christian threatening to burn down a gay store that person would already be locked away in jail. Democrats only see gay flags while the world burns

I think you're right....unfortunately. .... No signed written framework...let alone a deal..not to mention contradictory remarks by both sides on even a mutual understanding

But both sides are flaunting this as a winner takes all. It's political manipulation on both sides...and unfortunately the people of all nations

The Iranian FM is being greeted in Iran with a hero's welcome for crying out loud....but there is no deal???

What may be important here, is not so much what the Iranians think, or what do the Israelis think, but what does the new Arab Coalition think?

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Turkey, Sudan, Jordan, and others have already formed a military coalition to fight against Iranian interests in Yemen. Because of this deal, there’s a bit more urgency now to present a united front against Iran.

The interests of the Sunni Arab countries now align more closely with those of Israel. Is it possible Israel will become a part of this new Arab coalition? Recent developments in Yemen clearly show that Israel’s help is needed. Turkey is already making nice, ditto the Saudis and Egypt.

Interesting new dynamic, not altogether a bad thing.

With the new alignments, the Palestine issue goes to the back of the bus.

The deal pretty much assures that ground troops will be in Yemen soon. The new Arab Coalition was made inevitable by the abdication of US responsibilities in the region. With the removal of sanctions on the Iranians, it becomes even more likely that Israel may be needed to play a role. Strange bedfellows anyone?

Obama’s intent was to isolate Israel, but the unintended consequence is that he may have succeeded in isolating Iran.

Sweet irony if this is the way it pans out.

Score another one for the caliphate, the main beneficiary of Obama’s years in office.

The enemies that were outside our gates are now inside and in high placeswhere they are doing the most damage. Thier intent is to erode the foundations and bring this country to its knees and they are doing just that while the feckless balless traitors in the republican party throw thier own diversions at us and help the enemy with thier program

They will pretend to like Israel, but Hamas (who rule in Gaza and lob bombs regularly into Israel) and most West Bank Palestianians are Sunnis.

If the Sunnis want Israel to play then they must agree to

  1. All Moslem Palestianians in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank to be pulled out and rehabilitated in Saudi Arabia or some other Arab land
  2. cessation of all agressive activities in Sinai

Israel has at some level always been aligned with the sunni arabs.

somewhere there is a room where a general or perhaps a colonel from all those countries mentioned gather periodically to assess the situation. They are now meeting constantly.

It is very unusual, that is for certain.

I still question the use of the word deadline. there’s no deadline at all.

Heck, I can see Obama extending his presidency if he can’t get a deal by Jan 1, 2017...

Gotta keep on going, it’s the right thing to do, I didn’t ask for any argument. It’s. The. Right. Thing. To. Do...
