"An Iranian aid ship is approaching Yemen's coastline, raising the
risk of a showdown with the Saudi-led military coalition blockading
Yemeni ports as it battles the country's Shiite Houthi rebels. The ship
carrying food and medicine entered the Gulf of Aden on Sunday, according
to Iranian media. Iran's navy has vowed to protect the vessel, and the
government said it won't allow any country that's part of Yemen's war to
inspect the cargo. The vessel will arrive at Yemen's Red Sea port of
Hodeidah on May 21, according to a state TV reporter on board. The voyage
is a direct challenge to the Saudi-led blockade and comes as the two
nations vie for regional dominance. A confrontation near the Suez Canal
and key oil transit routes would further destabilize a region rocked by
conflicts from Iraq to Syria and Libya. 'There is the potential for this
ship to push the conflict to another level,' Ibrahim Sharqieh, deputy
director of the Brookings Doha Center, said by phone." http://t.uani.com/1FtHveL
WSJ:
"President Barack Obama's personal outreach to Persian Gulf nations
at a summit this week may have allayed their concerns over his pursuit of
an Iran nuclear deal for now, but the next six weeks of negotiations with
Tehran will be critical to determining whether the reprieve holds. Arab
leaders remain skeptical that Iran will agree to the stringent deal Mr.
Obama promised them would be the only one he would accept, despite their
pledge of support for a 'verifiable' agreement on Thursday following two
days with the president. Mr. Obama's push included a White House dinner,
lunch at the presidential retreat in Camp David, Md., and briefings from
top U.S. officials-from the secretaries of defense, Treasury and state to
the director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The White House also has
yet to attempt a similar charm offensive toward another close Middle East
ally and fierce critic of an Iran deal: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu." http://t.uani.com/1PR1uDM
Reuters:
"Iran is optimistic that it can reach a final nuclear deal with
world powers, its foreign minister said in an excerpt of an interview
with Germany's Spiegel magazine published on Friday. 'An agreement is
very likely -- provided that our negotiation partners mean it seriously,'
Mohammad Javad Zarif told Der Spiegel... Zarif criticized Saudi Arabia,
which has voiced concern that a nuclear deal could embolden Iran and harm
its security. 'Some people in the region are evidently panicking,' he
said, adding there was no reason to do so. 'We don't want to dominate the
region. We are happy with our size and geography,' he told the
magazine." http://t.uani.com/1Eeseaz
Nuclear Program & Negotiations
AP:
"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday he is hopeful that
the successful conclusion of a nuclear deal with Iran will send a
positive message to North Korea to restart negotiations on its own atomic
program. Speaking at a joint news conference with Chinese Foreign
Minister Wang Yi in Beijing, Kerry said he believed an Iran agreement
could have 'a positive influence' on North Korea, because it would show
that giving up nuclear weapons improves domestic economies and ends
isolation. He stressed, though, that there was no way to tell if North
Korea's reclusive leadership would be able to 'internalize' such a
message. 'I am sure Foreign Minister Wang would join me in expressing the
hope that if we can get an agreement with Iran, ... that agreement would
indeed have some impact or have a positive influence' on North Korea,
Kerry said. Although Wang did not appear to respond, Kerry explained that
an Iran deal could help in showing North Korea how 'your economy can do
better, your country can do better, and you can enter into good standing
with the rest of the global community by recognizing that there is a
verifiable, irreversible, denuclearization for weaponization, even as you
can have a peaceful nuclear power program.'" http://t.uani.com/1FtFxLA

Matters
AFP:
"Singapore on Monday condemned Iranian forces for firing warning
shots in the Gulf at a commercial ship registered in the Asian
city-state, calling it a 'serious violation of international law'. The
Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) also urged Tehran to investigate
Thursday's incident involving the Singapore-flagged Alpine Eternity which
it said was in international waters. 'With regard to the reported
shooting incident on 14 May 2015, involving a Singapore-registered tanker
Alpine Eternity that took place in international waters, Singapore is
deeply concerned with such actions,' the MPA said in a statement. 'Such
interference with navigational rights is a serious violation of
international law,' it said. 'The freedom of navigation and free flow of
commerce are of critical importance to Singapore and other maritime and
trading nations,' it added. The MPA said it had 'requested the Iranian
maritime authorities to investigate the incident and prevent future
recurrences.'" http://t.uani.com/1eaSePf
AP:
"Iran's supreme leader said Saturday the U.S. only is pursuing its
own interests amid worries about safety in the waterways of the Persian
Gulf, just after U.S. President Barack Obama hosted Arab leaders at Camp
David to assuage their security concerns. Fears about Gulf shipping come
after Iranian forces seized a ship and fired on another in recent days,
even as the Islamic Republic negotiates a final deal with world powers
over its contested nuclear program. 'What is the U.S.' business?'
Khamenei asked in comments posted on his website. 'The U.S. is after its
own interests and it will make the region insecure.' The site also quoted
him as addressing other Gulf countries: 'We are neighbors; the security
of the Persian Gulf is in all our interests. If it is safe, we benefit.
If it is not safe, it will be insecure for all.'" http://t.uani.com/1JThO56
Sanctions Relief
AP: "Iran has significantly stepped up its presence at the cinema
market of the Cannes Film Festival this year as Tehran opens up to the
world ahead of a possible suspension of Western sanctions. For the first
time since 2009 Iran's government has splurged tens of thousands of euros
(dollars) to rent a stand-alone pavilion on the glittering port of the
French Riviera town, a culture ministry official manning it told AFP.
'It's the first time in six years' Iran has had such a tent-office flying
its national flag and promoting national cinema production, said the
ministry's international affairs director, Arash Amini. 'Under the new
government, we thought we should open the doors and improve our artistic,
cultural relations with other cultures, other countries. That's our
overall policy,' he said." http://t.uani.com/1IH7ct8
Regional
Destabilization
Reuters:
"Iran will help oppressed people in the region, Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday, days after Gulf Arab leaders met
U.S. President Barack Obama and expressed concern about Iranian
expansionism. Khamenei also denounced Saudi Arabia for its role leading a
coalition of Sunni-ruled Arab states against Yemen's Houthi rebels,
comparing it to the pagans who ruled the Arabian Peninsula before the
advent of Islam in the seventh century. His speech to a meeting of
Iranian leaders and diplomats from the Muslim world, reported by the
state news agency IRNA, brought the issues of political and religious
legitimacy squarely into the struggle between the two regional powers.
'Yemen, Bahrain and Palestine are oppressed, and we protect oppressed
people as much as we can,' IRNA quoted him as saying. 'Those people who
bring suffering to Yemeni families during sacred months are even worse
than the ancient pagans of Mecca,' he said at the event for the holiday
of Lailat al-Miraj, when Islam says the Prophet Mohammad visited heaven
and met Jesus, Abraham, Moses and other prophets." http://t.uani.com/1IH7YX5
Iraq Crisis
WashPost:
"Iranian-aligned Shiite militias readied Monday to join Iraqi
government forces seeking to regroup after Islamic State militants staged
a stunning advance that left them in control of the key city of Ramadi
and potential routes toward Baghdad. The addition of the Shiite factions
added important firepower for an expected counter offensive, but it also
raised sensitive sectarian and political issues in the Sunni heartland of
Anbar Province west of Baghdad... In further sign of Iran's deep
involvement in Iraq, the Iranian defense minister, Brig. Gen. Hossein
Dehqan, arrived for talks Monday in Baghdad even as Iraqi forces plotted
how to reclaim Ramadi, just 80 miles to the west." http://t.uani.com/1LdxaT2
Syria Conflict
Reuters:
"From Iran, there have been renewed statements of support for
Damascus. A senior Iranian official used a trip to Damascus last week to
launch a blistering attack on Saudi Arabia. Reports of new Iranian
financial support have helped the Syrian currency strengthen from record
lows it touched after the fall of Idlib. The Syrian war has been a strain
on both Iran and Hezbollah: Tehran has spent billions supporting Assad
economically and militarily. Hezbollah, with a fighting force estimated
to number many thousands, has been burying a steady flow of fighters
killed in Syria. The group says 13 have been killed in Qalamoun. For
Assad's opponents, the support from Iran and Hezbollah is a sign of his
weakness, not strength. They claim he has lost control to his allies, or
at least appears ever more dependent on them." http://t.uani.com/1HnjDHd

Opinion &
Analysis
Lindsey Graham in
WSJ: "The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act is now
on its way to the White House for a reluctant signature by President
Obama. He was forced to accept, by overwhelming votes in both chambers,
Congress's constitutional role in reviewing any nuclear deal with Iran
and the lifting of any congressionally imposed sanctions. Now the hardest
work begins. The president must either negotiate an agreement that will
permanently prevent an untrustworthy Iranian regime from acquiring
nuclear weapons-or walk away. If he instead commits to a plan that will
lead to a nuclear Iran, Congress must stop it. Iran is the greatest
sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East and the world. It is openly
committed to the destruction of Israel. It sits at the nexus of nearly
every major global threat: the Syrian crisis, the rise of ISIS, the
resurgence of al Qaeda, the crisis in Iraq that threatens gains won with
U.S. blood, the chaos in Yemen that is adding to the threat of an all-out
regional war, and renewed weapons trade with Russia's Vladimir Putin. To
allow this pariah nation to acquire nuclear weapons and the ability to
deploy them against us and our allies-and to share them with radical
Islamic organizations-would constitute an incalculable threat to our
national security and an existential threat to Israel. It would set off a
nuclear-arms race that would virtually guarantee a regional war with
global implications. Alarmingly, our negotiators and the Iranians have
offered wildly differing interpretations of the negotiated framework. On
every principle, Iran insists it will never accept our terms. Serious
questions remain about how this deal can prevent a nuclear Iran. Will
international sanctions be lifted before proof that Iran is in
compliance? How and when would sanctions be restored if there are
violations? Can we have a good faith agreement with a regime that for decades
has lied and cheated, and still has never come clean about its past
efforts to weaponize nuclear technology? Will Iran be required to
demonstrate changed behavior-with respect to its nuclear ambitions and
its sponsorship of terrorism? I am proposing eight principles to ensure
we get the right answers and achieve a sound, enforceable deal.
- Iran must
not be allowed an enrichment capability greater than the practical
needs to supply one commercial reactor. The Iranians should have
access to peaceful nuclear power, but the infrastructure should be
aligned to support the needs of a single nuclear reactor.
- Closure of
all hardened and formerly secret sites. Iran must come clean on all
outstanding issues raised by the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA), particularly concerning the possible military dimensions of
Iran's civilian nuclear program. The history of Iran's nuclear
program has been marked by deception. Sites like Fordow have no role
in an Iranian civilian program. Iran must account for the full
inventory of centrifuges, production facilities for components, the
total number of components, assembly workshops and storage depots
for centrifuges.
- Anytime,
anywhere inspections of all Iranian military and nonmilitary
facilities. Iran shouldn't have veto power over when inspectors
visit its facilities, including the ability of independent parties
to monitor and report on Iran's compliance.
- Sanctions
relief and access to funds currently in escrow must be phased in and
fully conditioned on IAEA certification that Iran is in full
compliance and has demonstrated sustained compliance over time.
Allowing Iran access to these tens of billions of dollars in funds
before it has fulfilled its portion of the agreement is
unacceptable.
- There must
be an explicit process for the 'snapback' re-imposition of sanctions
if Iran violates the deal. It took years to impose the sanctions,
which brought Iran to the negotiating table.
- Iran must
not be allowed to conduct research and development on advanced
centrifuges. Mastery of this technology will allow Iran to reduce
its breakout time toward a nuclear weapon.
- Removal of
all enriched uranium from Iran. There is no need for Iran to possess
a large stockpile of low enriched uranium or any highly enriched
uranium. With the exception of the small amounts enriched to 3.5%
that will be created as part of Iran's civilian enrichment process,
all enriched uranium must be shipped out of Iran.
- Certification
by the president that, before any restrictions on Iran's nuclear
program are lifted, Iran has changed its aggressive behavior in the
region and no longer meets the qualifications to be designated a
state sponsor of terrorism." http://t.uani.com/1JTsFMC
UANI Advisory
Board Member Michael Singh in WSJ: "Another
commercial vessel has been fired on by Iranian forces in the Persian
Gulf, just weeks after Iranian naval forces seized the M/V Maersk Tigris
in the Strait of Hormuz and even though maritime law protects vessels
engaged in ordinary navigation through international shipping lanes.
These incidents, while troubling, should not be surprising. Iran's
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval forces routinely engage in
reckless behavior. Sometimes these incidents amount to close calls: The
U.S. Navy said, for example, that Iranian forces had attempted a similar
gambit days before the Tigris was seized last month, and in 2008 a U.S.
naval vessel eventually fired warning shots at Iranian naval boats
threatening them. Sometimes the Iranians' behavior results in full-blown
international crises, such as Iran's unprovoked seizure in 2007 of 15
British marines. That such incidents do not occur more frequently is
largely due to the professionalism of the U.S. Navy and other services
and shipping lines plying the Gulf. These incidents have concerning
implications. Either Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
approves of the brazen behavior or he is powerless to stop it. Both
possibilities are disturbing. If the former is true, it raises questions
about Ayatollah Khamenei's willingness to uphold Iran's most basic
obligations under international law, which will reinforce suspicions in
the region and in Washington about Tehran's trustworthiness. If the
latter is true, it suggests that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces
act independently, which underscores that agreements with Iran are really
agreements with one or another faction by which the others do not feel
bound. All of this reinforces the need to ensure that any agreement with
Iran about its nuclear program has strong enforcement mechanisms and that
penalties for cheating are swift and severe. Any nuclear accord must also
be structured to bind the Revolutionary Guard forces, not only Iranian
civil authorities. This is best accomplished by requiring Iran to
address, upfront, questions about its nuclear weaponization research and
open its military sites to the same inspections to which civilian sites
are subject." http://t.uani.com/1HpWpD8
Masih Alinejad in
WashPost: "During an interview last month with TV
host Charlie Rose, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif asserted
that Iran doesn't 'jail people for their opinions,'' a comment that was
met with howls of protests from Iranian activists and journalists who
have tasted the hospitality of Iran's prison system. A photoshopped image
of Zarif with a long wooden nose was circulated online. Journalist Bahman
Ahmadi Amouei, who was jailed in the 2009 crackdown, challenged Zarif's
claim in an open letter on Facebook: 'I testify that [President Hassan]
Rouhani's government and his foreign minister are lying about this
issue,'' he said, noting that he was subjected to psychological and
physical torture while being held 'because of his opinions and articles
written in the country's newspapers.' Stung by the reaction, Zarif
offered an explanation on his Facebook page. He said his comments were
only about Jason Rezaian, The Post reporter who has been imprisoned for
more than nine months on espionage charges. He urged his critics to be
fair and respect 'national interests.' But whose national interests are
we talking about? I'm an Iranian woman who was jailed at age 19, while
pregnant, for helping to create a student newsletter - in other words,
for having an opinion. Like too many others, I have been forced into
exile, which has prevented me from seeing my family for six years,
because of my opinions. At 30, I was barred from parliament for my work
as a journalist exposing how much the lawmakers were paying themselves.
After I became a columnist, I lost my position for a while for
criticizing then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Such reprisals are not
suprising to Iranian journalists, who are used to being threatened or
called in for questioning. It's a part of the job that creates internal
red lines; if we express our opinions, there are consequences. I cannot
even express an opinion in how I dress. Iranian women are required to
wear a hijab headscarf. Last year, more than 3.6 million women received
warnings from the police for wearing improper hijabs, according to
officials. Through the My Stealthy Freedom campaign, I have connected
with nearly a million people worldwide in an effort to challenge
government-enforced hijab rules. For this, I'd unquestionably be jailed
if I were to return to Iran. That's what can happen in Iran when you
express an opinion. And, as if to prove Zarif wrong, last week security
agents arrested human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, the deputy
director of the Defenders of Human Rights Center (DHRC), which was
cofounded by Nobel Peace Prize recipient Shirin Ebadi. For what possible
reason other than her views could she have been arrrested? This is not
the first time Zarif has made comments that sound like an Ahmadinejad
rant; in March 2014, for instance, he claimed that political executions
do not take place in Iran. Zarif's defenders will say that he's one of
the good guys. They argue that, for him to gather support from the
hard-liners, he needs to secure a nuclear deal with the United States and
to achieve his goal of ending sanctions and allowing Iran to rejoin the
world, he has to lie every now and again. We all have to cut him some
slack, they say. Privately and publicly, these supporters warn dissenters
not to write in English so as not to undermine Zarif's position. Nothing
to see here, they say, let's all move along. If you criticize Zarif, you
are labeled a warmonger and a supporter of the sanctions... But let me be
frank: Zarif does what he is paid to do, which is protect the Islamic
Republic of Iran. As a diplomat, he will defend the country's unsavory
human rights record. He will deny U.N. reports of abuse. He will back
Iran's judiciary as it keeps Rezaian and others in detention. He will
defend the persecution of the Bahai religious minority... I'm against
lies. Mr. Zarif, Iranians wish you success in your efforts to see
sanctions removed and to reach a peaceful resolution to the nuclear
question. But don't expect us to applaud when you claim 'national
interests' trump human rights abuses against journalists, dissidents,
religious minorities and women. We - the Iranian people - also want a
negotiation to secure our rights and our freedoms." http://t.uani.com/1GjoQBf
Dov Zakheim in FP:
"The Camp David summit concluded on Thursday with a stack of
assurances from President Barack Obama to representatives of the Arab
Gulf states that America has their back. To prove his intentions, he
promised to sell them more and better weapons, and to increase the
frequency of combined training and exercise opportunities for their
forces with those of the United States. The Arabs, ever polite to their
host, responded with thanks. But their fundamental distrust of the
administration's motives does not appear to have changed. None of their
spokesmen voiced explicit support for the Framework Agreement that
Secretary of State Kerry supported by his P-5+1 colleagues, has
negotiated with the Iranians. Publicly, the Gulf leaders continue to take
a wait-and-see approach. Privately, they are far less circumspect about
their unhappiness with the deal. In fact, the Camp David summit proved once
more what many observers have recognized for some time: as a result of
his determined courtship of Iran, President Obama has achieved something
that has eluded all his predecessors. He has brought Arabs and Israelis
together - out of distrust of the United States. The mealy-mouthed
explanations that administration spokespersons gave for the absence of
four of the six GCC leaders from the summit ring hollow in the face of
ongoing Gulf Arab suspicions that Washington is determined to reach an
agreement with Tehran at any cost. In this regard, their views mirror
exactly those of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, except that, as they
demonstrated at Camp David, the Arabs are far subtler. They will continue
to rely on the Israeli leader to make their case, confident that his
clout with the Congress is far greater than theirs... There is a
widespread misconception, fueled in no small part by the Israeli prime
minister's vociferous opposition to a deal with Iran, that a nuclear Iran
is primarily Israel's problem. The Arab response to the Camp David
meeting demonstrated that this is not the case. Iran poses a far more
serious threat to the Gulf Arab states than to Israel. The ruling mullahs
are unlikely to launch a strike against Israel. Tehran knows that
Israel's multiple layers of missile defenses ensure that there is at best
a minimal probability that an Iranian weapon would hit the Jewish state.
On the other hand, there is a 100 percent probability that Israel would
unleash a massive and successful retaliatory strike against Iran. Such a
strike, and the disruption of Iranian daily life that would follow in its
wake could spell the collapse of the regime, an outcome the Ayatollahs
surely wish to avoid. In contrast to Israel, the Gulf Arabs face a very
different kind of Iranian threat, namely its determined effort to achieve
regional hegemony. Even in its economically straitened circumstances,
Tehran has managed to expand its influence in Iraq and Yemen, while also
maintaining its position in Lebanon and coming to the aid of its
beleaguered Syrian ally, President Bashar al Assad. The Gulf Arabs fear
that a deal with Tehran that results in the early release of Iranian
assets long frozen in western banks will provide it with more funds to
wreak havoc in the region, notably in Shiite majority Iraq and Bahrain,
and in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. Moreover, the Sunni states share
Israel's conviction that a deal between the P5+1 and Iran will not
restrain Tehran from pursuing its nuclear ambitions. A nuclear Iran would
dominate the region - unless the Saudis, Emiratis, Egyptians, and others
acquire their own nuclear weapons capability. King Salman of Saudi Arabia
has virtually promised that he plans to do just that; the other leading
Gulf states will not be far behind. The administration has offered to
increase the level and quality of weapons that it will sell to the Gulf
Arabs, as if that might reassure them. The Israelis do not mind, since
the administration will preserve their 'qualitative edge,' meaning that
Jerusalem now has a vested interest in the Arabs acquiring first class
systems. But such bribery will reassure neither Israel nor the Gulf
capitals, because the nature of the Iranian threat is not a conventional
one. There is still time for the Congress to reject the inevitable deal
with Iran. The president will of course veto any such Congressional
action, but an override remains very much a possibility. The Israelis and
Gulf Arabs are not the only ones who would benefit from an override: so
would the American people, who otherwise may have to confront a
hegemonic, more powerful Iran whose objective will be not merely to
destroy Israel and unseat the Sunni regimes, but to drive the 'Great
Satan' out of the Middle East once and for all." http://t.uani.com/1FjSiFf
Tony Badran in NOW
Lebanon: "If you're keeping score in the contest
between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu, then chalk up a win for the
Israeli prime minister this week. President Obama is convening his summit
with representatives of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states at Camp
David today. But the affair was already a flop the minute Saudi Arabia's
King Salman decided not to participate. On the face of it, Salman's
actions would seem to be entirely unrelated to the drama between Obama
and Netanyahu, but appearances are deceiving. Obama had sought to achieve
two goals with this gathering, one explicit and one unstated. The stated
objective is to reassure Gulf Arab allies that the Iran deal will not
diminish the United States' commitment to their security. In this Obama
has failed, and from the very beginning he knew that his chances of
success were very limited. The undeclared objective was always Obama's
top priority. His strategic goal is to influence Congress, not the Gulf
States. The president is focused like a laser on completing the nuclear
deal with Iran. For this, he needs to fend off any challenge from Capitol
Hill, which is poised to approve legislation that requires him to submit
the deal for Congressional review. A vote of disapproval is a certainty,
but the only way the opponents of the deal can actually stop it is by
mustering a veto-proof majority-two-thirds of both houses. Thus, in order
to move ahead with the deal as planned, Obama needs to convince only 34
Democratic senators to refrain from rejecting it. Netanyahu's vocal and
persuasive opposition has complicated this task. Here is America's number
one regional ally saying this deal is a bad one, and that it poses a
mortal danger to Israel's security. The White House devised a two-step
counterattack. Step One is to tarnish Netanyahu's brand. The White House
and its friends in the media depict Netanyahu as a bigot with respect to
the Palestinians and a warmonger with respect to Iran. He is ruling over
a right-wing coalition that clings to power by the narrowest of margins.
His opinions are, in short, unrepresentative and unrespectable. Step Two
of the counterattack is to tarnish Congressional opponents of the deal
with the brush of Netanyahu's 'extremism.' Remember, Obama only needs 34
votes, so he is playing for the loyalty of the most liberal wing of the
Democratic Party-the progressives, for whom being tied to a hawkish bigot
is the worst association imaginable. This counterattack is the essential
context for understanding the dialogue with the Gulf Arabs. Obama needed
only two simple things from the summit. First, he sought to look the part
of the concerned ally, so as to insulate himself from the criticism that
his Iran deal sells out America's allies. Second, he intended to secure a
public statement of support-however mild-for his nuclear diplomacy. Even
tepid support would allow him to argue that Netanyahu represents only a
small group of unreasonable and reckless hardliners who are pushing the
US to war. The problem, of course, is that Obama has no good answer to
the Arab concerns that Iran is on the march across the Middle East. He
has no intention of actually giving the Gulf allies what they really
want; namely, a clear American commitment to counter Iran; a 'containment
statement and arrangement' as one senior Gulf official put it." http://t.uani.com/1PtP9L5
