On Friday, The New York Post<\/a> posted the following headline:<\/p>\n

Biden on verge of making worst deal ever with Iran<\/h1>\n

The article reminds us of some recent history regarding Iran and nuclear weapons:<\/p>\n

The Obama White House claimed the Iran deal guaranteed the most intrusive inspections the world had ever known, but only Israel\u2019s Mossad found the evidence Iran was cheating \u2014 a secret nuclear weapons archive that the mullahs kept hidden before, during and after negotiating the Iran deal. That archive led inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN\u2019s nuclear watchdog<\/a>, to at least four previously unknown sites inside Iran. At three of them, the inspectors found traces of uranium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Russia has been a leading opponent of the IAEA\u2019s probe in Iran for years. Since Moscow regularly breaks its own international treaty obligations \u2014 whether in the use of chemical weapons or the war crimes we see today in Ukraine \u2014 Russian diplomats work overtime to shield rogue nations like Iran and Syria from accountability.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new deal takes Moscow\u2019s side \u2014 flouting the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, lifting sanctions<\/a> and legitimizing Iran\u2019s nuclear program without first demanding a full accounting of previous and current violations. Put simply, it is an agreement knowingly built on deceit that will encourage other authoritarian regimes to violate their international commitments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another important change since 2015: We know so much more about the ways in which key Iranian banks and companies finance terrorism. The Obama administration told Congress that nothing in the Iran deal precluded America from imposing terrorism sanctions on Iran. Congress, on a bipartisan basis, took that promise to heart and directed the Trump administration to impose sanctions on affiliates of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, the Central Bank of Iran, the National Iranian Oil Company and hundreds more entities are subject to US terrorism sanctions \u2014 not nuclear sanctions \u2014 due to indisputable evidence showing their involvement in financing terrorism. To lift sanctions on these banks and firms without any indication of behavioral change will be unprecedented. The deal will directly subsidize the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations \u2014 a win for another Russian client state, Syria, as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopefully this treaty will never get past the Senate, but that doesn’t mean the Biden administration won’t abide by it anyway. We currently have a lawless administration and an impossibility of impeachment due to a Democrat congress and a downright scary line of succcession–Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Grassley, Antony J. Blinken, etc.<\/p>\n

Pray for the mid-terms and hope they won’t be too late.<\/p>\n
