On Monday, Frank Gaffney<\/a> at the Center for Security Policy<\/a> posted an article about the recent agreement regarding Iran’s nuclear program<\/a>. Frank Gaffney is the founder and president of the Center for Security Policy. He formerly acted as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy during the Reagan Administration, following four years of service as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense<\/a> for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy. Previously, he was a professional staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee<\/a> under the chairmanship of the late Senator John Tower, and a national security legislative aide to the late Senator Henry M. Jackson<\/a>. He is an expert on America’s national security.<\/p>\n

Mr. Gaffney observes:<\/p>\n

For starters, there is no reason to disbelieve the Iranian mullahs when they whip crowds into a frenzy with the phrase \u201cDeath to America.\u201d\u00a0 To the contrary, there is plenty of evidence that they are intent on achieving their stated goal of \u201ca world without America.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among the most alarming such evidence can be found in the series of steps the Iranian regime has taken to operationalize its capability to deliver without warning a devastating, strategic electromagnetic pulse (EMP<\/a>) attack upon this country. Tests involving the launching of missiles off of barges in the Caspian Sea<\/a> confer an ability to fire them from vessels off America\u2019s coasts.\u00a0 Other experiments included the simulated delivery of a warhead to the missile\u2019s apogee \u2013 precisely the scenario a congressional commission warned could be used to unleash EMP from high above the United States<\/a>, inflicting catastrophic damage on the highly vulnerable electric grid and society below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are told that all that is missing is a nuclear warhead to place atop such missiles.\u00a0 Far from pushing that ominous day into the future, let alone foreclosing it altogether, Mr. Obama\u2019s deal with Iran can only make its arrival more certain, and probably more near-term.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article points out that there is nothing in the agreement reached that requires Iran to declare all of its nuclear sites and their activities. The ‘temporary’ lifting of the sanctions will probably not be temporary–in order to reimpose those sanctions, we would have to have the agreement of both Russia and China–both of which think that Iran as a nuclear power will help them in dealing with the worldwide community of nations.<\/p>\n

The article further points out:<\/p>\n

The deal undermines our allies by abandoning those known to be in the mullahs\u2019 crosshairs. Topping that list is Israel. That would be the country whose population the real power in Tehran, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini, vilified again just last week.\u00a0 He said the Jews \u201ccannot be called humans, they are like animals, some of them\u201d described their country as \u201cthe rabid dog of the region.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s a reminder, if any were actually needed, of why Israel and her friends have rejected Obama\u2019s deal and are unmoved by his dubious promises Sunday of greater consultations as he engages Iran in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

It is an axiom of negotiations that if you want it bad, you get it bad. President Obama\u2019s<\/a> deal with Iran is a case in point. Unfortunately, \u201cgetting it bad\u201d in this case \u2013 like so much of the serial national security fraud being perpetrated pursuant to the Obama Doctrine \u2013 will translate into mortal peril for millions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Obama was desperate for some sort of political or diplomatic victory. He will claim this victory in the agreement reached with Iran. Unfortunately this agreement is not a victory for the American people and reinforces the idea that America under President Obama will not hesitate to desert her friends and strengthen her enemies for partisan political purposes.<\/p>\n
