Scuttling Iran deal might not be easy for next president
2015-07-19
[IsraelTimes] Republicans promise to 'invalidate' nuclear accord if elected, but to do so they'll have to turn their backs on US allies and likely go it alone on sanctions

If Iran lives up to its obligations, a new president could face big obstacles in turning that campaign promise into US policy. Among them: resistance from longtime American allies, an unraveling of the carefully crafted international sanctions, and damage to US standing with the rest of the world, according to foreign policy experts.
Of course if Iran does not live up to its obligations, how blatant would it have to be before it would be acknowledged?

#9  Iff the Bammer's post-Jan 2017 POTUS successor is another Anti-US US = Anri-American Amerikan OWG Globalist, he or she will have no need to scuttle the Iran deal as they will continue US support for Iran.

DON'T FEAR ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA - FEAR MORE HIS ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS SUCCESSOR(S?).

Becuz whatever the Bammer doesn't finish or complete by Jan 2017, his follow-on Globies successor(s) will. Iff the US Mainstream thinks thingys are bad now, IT CAN STILL BE MUCH WORSE.

* TOPIX > [Arutz Sheva = INN] EXPERT: THE AMERICANS SURRENDERED [SSShhh ...CCCC like France?] TO IRAN.

Ex-USDOD Analyst Dr. Harold Rhodes of Ariel University.

* LUCIANNE > [BreiBart] IRAN DEAL "NEGOTIATIONS" INVOLVED A LOT OF IRAN SHOUTING AT HAPLESS US TEAM.

Ditto CHINESE = East Asia-WESTPAC + IOR; PUTIN'S BOYZ/RUSSIA = Eastern Europe, Arctic, Balkans, Med = Greece, CENTASIA???

#8  In my opinion the entire agreement can only be understood to be designed to relieve Iran of all sanctions and then allow Iran an unfettered way to default and then simply declare the entire agreement null and void.
The only proof any coherent person should need is to read the DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM in the agreement.

read the dispute resolution mechanisim

All members have the same rights to walk away but what would be the point since Iran has the rights to cease performing its commitments if sanctions are reinstated .

(From section 37 of the DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM)
{The UN Security Council, expressing its intention to prevent the reapplication of the provisions if the issue giving rise to the notification is resolved within this period, intends to take into account the views of the States involved in the issue and any opinion on the issue of the Advisory Board.
Iran has stated that if sanctions are reinstated in whole or in part, Iran will treat that as grounds to cease performing its commitments under this JCPOA in whole or in part.}

Could it be any clearer ?

Rather than prevent war, the Iran Nuclear Agreement leaves Israel with no other choice but to declare war on Iran as their only remaining means to ensure the survival of the Jewish nation.

Any U.S congressman or congresswoman who votes to ratify this insult to democracy deserves to be ran out of their own district (and Washington) on a rail.

#6  But the article talk about stopping Iran, TW.

#5  The article references Republicans, g(r)omgoru. Therefore, the American president, Obama the much-beloved.

#4  Ah, people: president is a purely ceremonial position in Israel. PM is the chief executive.

I'm assuming a NUDET somewhere near The Won's golf game would move him enough to notice. Anything short of that, I'm afraid, would probably be ignored.

#1  An early morning bombing raid on one of their key nuclear military sites with deep penetrating munitions might assist the 'scuttling.'

Say nothing beforehand, say nothing afterward. The message will be received, the challenge extended. If they act with further belligerence, destroy them all. Again saying nothing beforehand, or afterward.
