U.S. Just Allowed Assad Regime Continue Fighting & Rearmed Hezbollah Worldwide

Analysis: The US led agreement with the Ayatollah allows Assad to continue the fighting and receive all the military aid & everything required for his regime’s survival, as long as Iran does not produce a bomb.

Bashar Assad is the only Arab leader (leader?) who commented on the nuclear agreement. In the flattery letters he sent to Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei and to President Hassan Rouhani, he praises the “great achievement” and offers his own evaluation of the situation: This agreement, he states, will actually contribute to peace and stability in the Middle East.

WATCH: Netanyahu Blasts Shirking of Open Iranian Threats After Nuclear Deal

Israel’s PM voices his amazement at the indifference to the Ayatollah’s public promise to use newly acquired $billions to reequip ‘their terror machine.’

By Tova Dvorin

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s latest speech mocking the US and declaring “Death to Israel” proves the futility of the Iranian nuclear deal with the West, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stated at the opening remarks to his weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday.

“If anyone thought that the far-reaching concessions to Iran will change its policy, they received an overwhelmingly aggressive response from the speech from the ruler of Iran, Khamenei, over the weekend,” Netanyahu said. Continue Reading »

Bennett in Hostile BBC Interview: Iran Deal is a Farce, Like with North Korea

WATCH: In a remarkably hostile BBC interview, Israeli Minister Naftali Bennett exposes the changes from what Kerry had promised in final nuclear deal.

By Ari Soffer

As reactions for and against the deal signed with Iran Tuesday morning continue to pour in, Israeli Education Minister and Jewish Home party head Naftali Bennett took Israel’s case against the deal to the international media.

P5+1 Nuclear Agreement – Historic Farce

In an interview with a notably hostile, even antagonistic BBC anchor, Bennett outlined perhaps the most glaring hole in the deal: the fact that Iran will receive nearly a month’s notice prior to any inspections of nuclear sites – ample time to hide evidence of illegal, bomb-making activity.

Nuclear Agreement Made With Iran: Here’s the Deal’s Main Points

Iran to reduce advanced centrifuges from 20,000 to 6,104, convert Fordow facility into research centre, and reduce enriched-uranium stockpile from 5 tons to 300 kg.

Associated Press

After 18 days of intense and often fractious negotiation, world powers and Iran struck a landmark deal Tuesday to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in relief from international sanctions – an agreement designed to avert the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran and another US military intervention in the Muslim world. Here are the main points.

The Iran Deal Read the the full text of the deal

Enrichment: Iran will reduce the number of uranium-enriching centrifuges it has from almost 20,000 to 6,104, and reduce the number of those in use from nearly 10,000 to half that. Continue Reading »

Iran-U.S. nuclear deal should herald improved covert Israel-Arab cooperation

Former Arab affairs adviser to Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office: When it comes to the Arab world and the Jewish State, there is “no love, only interests.”

By ARIEL BEN SOLOMON

If a nuclear deal is reached between world powers and Shi’ite Iran, it could stimulate covert cooperation between Israel and Sunni Arab states.

However, such improved coordination would not come as a result of any real inherent change in relations between Israel and Arab countries, but because of realpolitik.

Netanyahu has argued that the agreement in the works would not deny Iran, which says its nuclear projects are peaceful, the means of making a bomb, while granting it sanctions relief that could help bankroll its guerrilla allies in the region. Continue Reading »

Britain warns UN: US ignoring ‘Iran’s active nuclear procurement network’

UN suggests US administration silence on Iranian violations is to not undermine ongoing talks.
• Speculation of the White House’s silence about Iran’s active nuclear procurement network is “further proof that a skeptical Congress must have a voice,” echoing Netanyahu’s warnings that Iran can not be trusted.

By News Agencies & Israel Hayom Staff

Britain has informed a United Nations sanctions panel of an active Iranian nuclear procurement network linked to two blacklisted firms, according to a confidential report by the panel seen by Reuters.

The existence of such a network could add to Western concerns over whether Tehran can be trusted to adhere to a nuclear deal due by June 30 in which it would agree to restrict sensitive nuclear work in exchange for sanctions relief. Continue Reading »

Obama Continues to Ignore Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt on ‘Terrible Deal’ With Iran

Easily disregarding a few suggestions from Israel in making a ‘better deal’, Obama, insists that he had “yet to obtain a good answer on that.”

By Ryan Jones

A frustrated US President Barack Obama over the weekend questioned how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would address the Iranian nuclear problem, since he was clearly dissatisfied with the American approach.

An Israeli expert had already answered that question, noting that the only remaining viable solution was to intervene militarily.

Speaking at a press conference in Panama City, Obama said that he was well aware of Israel’s concerns regarding the nuclear framework agreement he and other Western powers had reached with Iran a week earlier. Continue Reading »

Col. (ret.) Yigal Carmon, former counterterrorism adviser to PMs Yitzhak Shamir & Yitzhak Rabin, and founder of the Middle East Media Research Institute, says, ‘Joint Statement’ issued in Lausanne, Switzerland last week “was nothing but a smokescreen meant to disguise difficult, ongoing disagreements between the parties.”
