More Bad News For Israel

The government has had its panties in a wad since the new Iranian negotiations have been going on……for over a month now.  They have tried everything to scuttle the agreement that was made……even to the point of using a lot of politicians from the Northeast states that get a sizable amount of cash from AIPAC….make ’em earn all those donations………

But after all their attempts the unthinkable is about to happen…….

A preliminary nuclear deal between Iran and world powers is now in effect. “In line with the implementation of the Geneva joint plan of action, Iran suspended the production of 20% enriched uranium in the presence of UN nuclear watchdog inspectors” at two sites, an Iranian atomic energy official told Iranian news, per AFP. UN authorities have confirmed the news, diplomats tell the BBC. The agreement allows the country to continue enriching uranium to 5%. As for the other side of the deal, “the sanctions iceberg against Iran is melting,” says Iran’s nuclear head. Assuming the EU is satisfied with the enrichment cuts, Iran should today be allowed to restart petrochemical exports as well as trade in gold, meaning billions of dollars for its economy, the BBC notes. Under the deal, Iran is also required to convert half of its existing 20% enriched uranium to oxide; the other half must be diluted to 5% enrichment, CBS News reports. In exchange for the dilution, Iran will gain access to some of its frozen foreign assets worth as much as $4.2 billion, the New York Times reports.

Like I stated….more bad news for Israel.  But it will not stop there…..in the near future there will be stories about the violations of the agreement…….most likely they, Israel, will roll out their old reliable….Dan Senor to spread the manure.

The problem is the first steps of the deal are going as smooth as possible…….

Iran has ceased enriching uranium above five percent concentration, International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors confirmed on Monday, as an historic interim deal between the Islamic Republic and world powers over its controversial nuclear program officially began.

The assumption of the Joint Plan of Action is an important milestone for modern Iran, as well as for those concerned about its nuclear ambitions. Developments on Monday marked the first time in over a decade that Iran’s leaders willingly paused, and even began rolling back, aspects of its nuclear work.

Additionally, Iran disabled its centrifuge cascades built to enrich uranium to higher grades, and has begun diluting its stockpile of uranium already enriched to near- 20% concentration.

I am not saying that all will be gravy…there will be false starts and some violations but each one will be magnified 100 times over by the media, especially the right wing media…..no stop will be overlooked to scuttle this agreement.  It is what Israel wants and we know that they almost always get what they want……why would this time be any different?

  1. Indeed a positive step. Regretful that the large secular (sane) majority in Israel is outmaneuvered politically by a bevy of minority (fundamentalist) parties who know they have to pair-up (as uncomfortable as it is for them) for their own survival.
