That Obama/Kerry deal to let Iran have nukes and billions of dollars
is really working out well. And that moderate president of Iran who has
no power and answers to its Supreme Leader and Super Duper Ayatollah who
rigs all the elections
is informing us how that’s working out in between selective tweets featuring Iranian women doing ordinary things like not being stoned to death.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani boasted on Twitter that
the United States and other world powers effectively “surrendered” to
Tehran with the newly struck nuclear deal.
“Our relationship w/ the world is based on Iranian nation’s
interests. In #Geneva agreement world powers surrendered to Iranian
nation’s will,” a tweet from the Iranian leader’s account said on
Tuesday.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney downplayed Rouhani’s remarks
when asked about them at Tuesday’s press briefing. He said these kinds
of remarks are “expected” and geared toward their government’s “domestic
audience.”
Right. That must be why it’s in English like the way Jay Carney speaks in Persian for the domestic American audience.
“It doesn’t matter what they say. It matters what they do,” he said.
So
what is Iran doing?
Iran hopes to start construction of a new nuclear plant in Bushehr.
“I hope that together with colleagues from Russia it will be possible
to begin the construction of the second power plant in Bushehr, in the
near future,” Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI)
Ali-Akbar Salehi said.
Also more centrifuges.
The head of Iran’s atomic energy agency had said the country is building a new generation of centrifuges for uranium enrichment.
Which
are absolutely not a problem under the deal.
“So what’s the practical effect of this R&D [research
and development] clarification that you labored over so hard? What does
it preclude them from doing?” the reporter asked.
“It—I mean, their commitment is to continue their current enrichment
R&D practices, and those are the practices that are laid out in the
November Director General’s report,” said one of two senior
administration officials on the press briefing. “This—that’s been
documented, and that’s what they were—that’s what they will continue to
do.”
Oh and
there’s a top secret side deal that may or may not exist.
Key elements of a new nuclear agreement between Iran and
six world powers are contained in an informal, 30-page text not yet
publicly acknowledged by Western officials, Iran’s chief negotiator said
Monday.
Abbas Araqchi disclosed the existence of the document in a
Persian-language interview with the semiofficial Iranian Students News
Agency.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday that the text of
the implementing agreement would be released to lawmakers. He said the
six parties were weighing how much of the text they could release
publicly.
Asked late Monday about the existence of the informal nonpaper, White
House officials referred the question to the State Department. A State
Department comment wasn’t immediately available.
A State Department spokeswoman, Marie Harf, denied later Monday that there was any secret agreement.
That inspires confidence. I guess we’ll just have to pass it to see how many nukes Iran gets.
