Prepare for a nuclear Iran, Biden envoy says - Blames Orange Man
2021-10-17
[American Military News] Robert Malley, President Joe Biden’s Special Envoy for Iran, warned this week to prepare for Iran to ignore all constraints on its nuclear program, as Iran continues to approach weapons-grade nuclear fuel.

During a virtual discussion on Iran policy hosted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Malley said, "We have to prepare for a world . . . where Iran doesn’t have constraints on its nuclear program."

Malley also criticized President Donald Trump’s administration for withdrawing the U.S. from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Trump withdrew from the deal in May 2018, following criticisms the agreement did little to constrain Iran and that Iran had violated it by not disclosing a past nuclear weapons program.

Following the U.S. withdrawal from the deal, Iran has also begun ignoring constraints on its nuclear program, such as the amount and enrichment levels of nuclear materials it can have. According to a September report, Iran stands poised to achieve a nuclear breakout in which it could rush to enrich enough nuclear material to fuel its first nuclear warhead in a matter of weeks.

#9  "Trump did it!"

Facist political deflection.

#7  I guarantee our intelligence agencies are monitoring Israeli military facilities to identify any preparations for a strike against Iran. What is heartbreaking for me is that they may well do so knowing that the information might be used to alert the target by the ValJar connection at the Kalorama Kompound.

#6  "We have to prepare for a world where Iran doesn’t have constraints on its nuclear program."

You goof: of course the Israelis are prepared. Ready, willing and able to take out or degrade Iranian nuclear facilities -- as they've done successfully so many times to their enemies during the last 40 years.

While you idiots blabber, the next Osirak attack is being prepared. How does it feel to be totally irrelevant?

Step aside and let the adults take care of this menace.

#5  when was Iran ever observing constraints?

Not since that little kerfuffle in 1979, certainly.

#4  Following the U.S. withdrawal from the deal, Iran has also begun ignoring constraints on its nuclear program --- when was Iran ever observing constraints?

#2  ^ Naive wishcasting. When someone says "Death to Great Satan America", believe them. At least don't constrain the Little Satan Israel from self-defense

#1  Gosh, we'd better start a war then! That always works. Especially when the war doesn't benefit us at all!
