Netanyahu: Those Praising Iran Deal Already Proven Wrong
Truth Revolt ^ | July 20, 2015 | Bradford Thomas

sraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had some hard words for those celebrating the nuclear deal with Iran. Speaking to his cabinet ministers Sunday, Netanyahu pointed to the recent speech given by Iran's Supreme Leader as proof that the "extraordinary concessions" given to Iran would not lead to changes in their destructive policies.

In a speech broadcast live on Iranian television Saturday, Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asked Allah to accept the prayers of Iranians for the destruction of America and Israel.

"You heard 'Death to Israel,' 'Death to the U.S.' You could hear it. The whole nation was shaken by these slogans," said Khamenei. "So we ask Almighty God to accept these prayers by the people of Iran,” assuring citizens that the regime's opposition to the "arrogant" U.S. "won't change at all."

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will not give up support of its friends in the region — the oppressed people of Palestine, of Yemen, the Syrian and Iraqi governments, the oppressed people of Bahrain and sincere resistance fighters in Lebanon and Palestine… Our policy will not change with regards to the arrogant US government," said Khamenei.

Citing the defiant speech, Netanyahu told his cabinet Sunday that those hoping the deal would curtail Iran's aggressive policies had already received their "unequivocal answer."

"If someone thought that the extraordinary concessions to Iran would lead to a change in its policy, they received an unequivocal answer over the weekend in Iranian ruler Khamenei’s aggressive and contrary speech," said Netanyahu.

"Today Iran is arming terrorist organizations with missiles – tomorrow they will have the ability to arm them and themselves with much deadlier weapons," he said. "The agreement that was signed paves Iran’s way to arm itself with nuclear weapons within a decade, if Iran decides to honor the agreement, and before then if it decides to violate it, as it is usually does."

"As long as the Iranian leadership is encouraging calls of 'Death to America' and ‘Death to Israel,'" he said, "there is no reason to make any concessions to them."

As he has repeatedly during the negotiation process, Netanyahu said that the only way to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear capability was to strengthen sanctions rather than loosen them and lift them "only if it changes its policy."

The commonsense he is speaking has been abandoned by our government. Nothing that is going on right now makes any kind of sense, and not just with Iran.

Hide & Watch as Israel & Saudi Arabia team up without Obama, to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

I hope he does.

But he probably has to worry about what bambi will do. He's not stable.

More sense from Netanyahu than from our sorry-a$$ substitute for a president.

If it happens that Netanyahu decides to go within the next 17 months, he'll be fighting off US Forces led by Obama as well.

Yes, it really makes me cringe when Bibi treats Obama with respect and refuses to criticize him. I guess he has been warned of major consequences if he even dares criticize the messiah.
