Meanwhile, the head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard is saying the U.S. is still the “Great Satan” as local media is reporting the police have raided shops distributing American, Israeli and British apparel. Israel additionally believes the nuclear settlement will assist Iran attempt to dominate the Center East.

The very same country that denied for years it was doing nuclear research – while spending billions tunneling deep into the mountains for nuclear enrichment and research, claiming this was “for medical research” – will be allowed to police itself?

This makes sense because the side deals are nearly certainly a USA initiative to quietly drop the PMD issue by separating it from the nuclear agreement and placing it in a secret IAEA-Iran agreement that the American people and Congress can not see. “It is a problem that can be solved, but only if we acknowledge the reality of whom we are dealing with in Tehran and match its deceptions and desperation with steadfast courage and vision”. In addition, the plan prohibits Iran from building another such reactor for at least 15 years.

Schuette and Pruitt cite a 2010 law stating that the USA should support the decision of any state or local government that “for moral, prudential, or reputational reasons” divests from Iran, noting that 25 states have done so, to date, including Michigan, Florida and New York.

‘We do call our Arab brothers and sisters to do their utmost to reveal atrocities of Israel as their sole enemy in the region, ‘ Zarif said. One notable exception, however, is U.S. Sen. These positions give the USA power that we did not use.

The authors cited Iran’s dismal human rights record – which includes the execution of minors; officially sanctioned beheadings and rape; persecution of minority communities and members of the LGBT population; disappearances of and restrictions on civil liberties – as the primary concern for states.

Despite its economy hit due to the sanctions, its economy hasn’t been affected greatly.

Regardless of what spin the administration tries to put on the deal, it is a bad deal.
