| #10 Israel, Egypt, Jordon and KSA - are all now de facto allies. Everything else is going to hell, why is Oman so quite? Sanctions to snapback, not once the UK,French and Germans, Russian and especially the Chinese get their business contracts signed. |

| #9 Interesting conversation in the Magic Kingdom is probably taking place over whether it makes more sense to let the IAF use KSA bases to take out Iranian facilities or buy IDF warheads. |

| #8 If that fact sheet accurately represents the agreement, it seems much better to me than the current stalemate, during which Iran continues to make progress towards a bomb. If the Iranians are happy, the sanctions must really be biting, and/or they have absolutely no intention of conforming to any of it. What is the truth - this document or what Iran is telling its citizens? Three month breakout is much shorter than we have been told. Some kind of agreement is critical. How would Bibi mark up this agreement to make it acceptable? " U.S. and E.U. nuclear-related sanctions will be suspended after the IAEA has verified that Iran has taken all of its key nuclear-related steps. If at any time Iran fails to fulfill its commitments, these sanctions will snap back into place." The steps mentioned are very significant, including a major reduction in centrifuges, limitation to first generation designs, discontinuance of a major facility, and redesign of a fission reactor to be non-plutonium capable. Plus detailed inspections and supply chain monitoring. |

| #7 At this rate, the KSA will be able to buy one from the Israelis. Awesome! "Moshe get #4 from the back lot" "That a hydr0..." "Hush they have the cash" |

| #4 KSA will be working overtime to get their own bomb now. Pakistan could sell them one, right? Or maybe Kimmie has a workable model now - he could sure use the cash. Of course a nuclear Iran and KSA could (enemy of my enemy and all that) decide to join forces and destroy Israel before getting back to beating each other up. |

| #3 I noted several references to a "breakout timeline of at least one year." Given our 'historic' assessment of their capabilities, that leaves me a little less than comfortable. Oh, then there was the item that assesses their current breakout timeline as 2-3 months. Meaning this 'historic' agreement, with its many parts with ten and fifteen year minimums has really only pushed back the clock by 9-10 months. If I believe State Department "facts". Color me skeptical. |
