The Deal of the Century: Watching Naive Plans With Duplicitous Iran's Nuclear Program

 Nadene Goldfoot                                          

         New President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran, from 3 August 2021

If inspectors continue to investigate undeclared site, President Raisi of Iran has said that there won't be any agreement of the nuclear deal, and Israel has said that if that happens Israel will have to carry out their counter threat of destroying Tehran's nuclear program.  Raisi has countered that by saying, "If Israel decides to carry out its threats to destroy Iran’s nuclear program,  “it will see if anything from the Zionist regime will remain or not.”


Prime Minister Yair Lapid has slammed the emerging deal, saying the negotiators are letting Tehran manipulate the talks. Israel believes Iran intends to build a nuclear bomb and has published intelligence it says reveals the Iranian weapons program.  JERUSALEM, Aug 24 (Reuters) - A new nuclear deal between world powers and Iran would allow other nations to avoid sanctions and give Teheran $100 billion a year to destabilize the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said on Wednesday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency for years has sought for Iran to answer questions about man-made uranium particles found at undeclared sites.

US intelligence agencies, Western nations and the IAEA have said Iran ran an organized nuclear weapons program until 2003. Iran long has denied ever seeking nuclear weapons.  EU-coordinated negotiations on reviving the deal began in April 2021 before coming to a standstill in March and picking up again in August. The Biden administration has repeatedly said it believes diplomacy is the best way to resolve the crisis.  President Biden, they've been trying diplomacy since 2003 and it hasn't gotten us anything but frustration.

David "Dadi" Barnea (Hebrewדוד (דדי) ברנע; born 29 March 1965) is the current Director of the Mossad, having taken over from Yossi Cohen in June 2021.

Mossad Director David Barnea will travel to Washington next week and will appear before the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee as part of Israel's campaign to thwart a return to the Iran nuclear deal.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened Israel constantly when he was in office from 2005 to 2013.  He called the USA the big Satan and Israel the little Satan. In July 2015, the Iran nuclear deal was reached by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, China, the European Union (EU), and Iran. The deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was supposed to resolve concerns about Iran’s nuclear program—but it did not. 

The deal ended with President Donald Trump in 2018. 

 Iran has threatened the existence of Israel many times, doing so in many ways. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was President of Iran from 3 August 2005 to 3 August 2013, and during that time had repeatedly made contentious speeches and statements against Israel. Ahmadinejad refused to call Israel by name, instead calling it the “Zionist regime”. He has called for the "elimination of the Zionist regime". Ahmadinejad took part in a protest called "The World Without Zionism" and has derided Israel on numerous occasions. He has urged regional powers to cut diplomatic and economic ties with Israel and halt oil sales.                           

He said that since Germany caused the Holocaust-if this story is true, then they should provide the Jews with a country.  On 11 December 2006, at the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust," a gathering of Holocaust deniers in Tehran, Ahmadinejad said: "Thanks to people's wishes and God's will the trend for the existence of the Zionist regime is [headed] downwards and this is what God has promised and what all nations want. The Zionist regime will be wiped out soon the same way the Soviet Union was, and humanity will achieve freedom

On Israel's 60th birthday in 2008, Ahmadinejad said:  Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken. Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation."

 Tensions have risen over Iran's nuclear program. He has also provided funding, training and arms to what are widely regarded as terrorist organizations Hezbollah and Hamas, which are sworn enemies of Israel and waged war against Israel.

 Israel said the attack had been planned as an assassination attempt in retaliation for the kidnapping and death of missing Israeli servicemen in 1986 and the abduction of US Marine and UN peace-keeping officer William R. Higgins in 1988.Abbas al-Musawi 26 October 1952 – 16 February 1992) was an influential Lebanese Shia cleric, co-founder and Secretary General of Hezbollah. He was killed by the Israel Defense Forces in 1992.

The deal fails to guarantee the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program—rather, it gives Iran a clear pathway to nuclear weapons.  Iran accepts temporary nuclear restrictions in exchange for front-loaded, permanent benefits such as a $100 billion dollars every year.  United Nations (U.N.) sanctions and some EU sanctions have been lifted, enabling Iran to access previously frozen assets. Remaining EU sanctions will be lifted in 2023.

Ahmadinejad's remarks have been criticized by various world bodies and governments, including the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Nations. 

Ali Khamenei, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Mohammad Khatami, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Rouhani were each elected president for two terms. Ebrahim Raisi is the current president, being elected in the June 2021 presidential election.

Dealing with President Raisi of Iran About Their Nuclear Deal

 Nadene Goldfoot


"Sayyid Ebrahim Raisolsadati  born 14 December 1960), commonly known as Ebrahim Raisi ), is an Iranian hardline, ultra conservative Islamist, principlist politician, Muslim jurist, and the 8th and current president of Iran since 3 August 2021, having been elected to the presidency in the 2021 Iranian presidential election He'll be 61 in a month.   

Joe Biden, born November 20, 1942, has been a politician most of his life, deferred from army due to asthma,  but a lawyer  in 1969;  first as a Jr. Senator in 1972, then Vice President from 2009 to 2017 under Obama.  His decisions are much like a 3rd term of Obama, after 8 years under him.  On withdrawal from Afghanistan, "By early July, most American troops in Afghanistan had withdrawn. Biden addressed the withdrawal in July, saying, "The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely."  Biden was consistently ranked one of the least wealthy members of the Senate, which he attributed to his having been elected young.  The political writer Howard Fineman has written, "Biden is not an academic, he's not a theoretical thinker, he's a great street pol.  He'll be 79 years old  in a few days and has a stuttering problem.

 He was one of the four people on the prosecution committee, which was responsible for the execution of thousands of political prisoners in Iran in 1988 and is hence labeled the "death committee" by the government's opponents and some in the western media.

 He is accused of crimes against humanity by international human rights organizations and United Nations special rapporteurs.   According to many observers, the 2021 Iranian presidential election were rigged in favour of Raisi, who is considered a hardline ally of Ali Khamenei. " 
                                                    

Considering the 2 Ayatollas who are real rulers behind the Iranian 
presidents, Ali Khamenei  has been calling all the shots, including  rigging 
their voting process.  

A formal request had been made to arrest the Raisi for crimes against humanity if he attends the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Scotland.  Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi did not attend: a formal request had been made by Struan Stevenson and an Iranian exiles of the National Council of Resistance of Iran to the Scotland police, to arrest Raisi for crimes against humanity if he attended based on the legal concept of universal jursidiction.
                                                   

Who from the USA will be able to stand up to this Iranian president in any meetings about Iran and its program of using uranium?  The 60-year-old, who takes office on 5 August, presented himself as the best person to combat corruption and solve the economic problems Iran has experienced under the outgoing President, Hassan Rouhani.

Biden has made clear his desire to find a path to salvage the nuclear accord with Iran that was negotiated by the Obama administration. Still, indirect talks between the US and Iran have stalled, and Washington continues to maintain crippling sanctions on the country.  “The United States remains committed to preventing Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon,” Biden said in his own UN speech, delivered in person earlier on Tuesday.

In his remarks, Raisi also railed at Israel, whose destruction Iranian leaders regularly call for.

“The occupier Zionist regime is the organizer of the biggest state terrorism, whose agenda is to slaughter women and children,” he claimed.

He denounced the blockade of the Gaza Strip, which Israel says is needed to prevent arms from reaching Palestinian terror groups in the coastal enclave, some of which receive support from Tehran.

“An all-out blockade has turned Gaza into the biggest prison in the world,” he said.

Raisi also said that the “deal of the century failed,” referring to the Trump administration’s Israeli-Palestinian peace proposal.

It's the usual slander against Jews and Israel that we hear and could debate and have over and over again. The trouble is that there are so many naive and prejudiced people who go along with it, and so Raisi uses it to his advantage.
