Today’s Wall Street Journal<\/a> posted an article about what the lifting of the economic sanctions will mean to Iran<\/a>. One of the problems with lifting the sanctions is that despite claims to the contrary, much of the money will find its way to terrorist activities around the world.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Take the deal\u2019s financial windfall for Iran\u2019s terrorist and military activities, which even Mr. Obama conceded Wednesday would benefit. The inflow from sanctions relief could approach $150 billion within 16 months. The President says most of the money will go to improve Iran\u2019s economy, but this misjudges the regime\u2019s priorities and how its economy works.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider the Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC<\/a>, which is the regime\u2019s military and ideological spine and controls an estimated 20% of the Iranian economy<\/a>. This includes perhaps half of all government-owned companies<\/a>, such as construction firm Khatam Al-Anbia<\/a>, which is involved in building everything from city metros to oil pipelines; the Telecommunication Company of Iran<\/a>, where an IRGC-controlled company has a 51% stake; and thousands of smaller front companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTo do business in Iran, foreign companies need an Iranian partner, which for large-scale projects often means firms controlled by the IRGC,\u201d Reuters\u2019s Pariza Hafezi and Louis Charbonneaureported in July. That means the Revolutionary Guards will benefit from the one-time windfall when Iranian oil profits now held in escrow are released, and going forward as foreign companies race to get into the Iran market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 700 Club<\/a> this morning posted the following:<\/p>\n

The Iranian nuclear deal will put American soldiers at greater risk. It will also put Israel<\/a> in greater danger. It will also begin a nuclear arms race among Middle Eastern countries<\/a>. This is not a deal that Congress should approve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
