ONE DAY TO GO

Tomorrow, June 30 Tuesday is the deadline for Iran to agree to all the provision in the ‘Nuclear control” agreement that the European Countries plus the USA have proposed.

Iran’s leadership has already made it clear that it will not allow ay International Inspectors in to its military sites.

That one item should be a deal breaker. Any concession by the Western powers will make the “treaty” a farce. Our Congress has already made it clear that if Obama agrees to something less than the proposed terms it will “veto” (by an appropriate rejection vote) the agreement.

What Iran will receive is a relaxing then closing of all the sanctions which have severally affected its economy. Even if it agreed to all as written, there is no guarantee that it will not violate some of the terms.

At best, its progress to have a nuclear weapon will only be postponed by 10 years. It already has the rocket capabilities to hit most of Europe and is expected to have its range extended so that at least the North-West part of the USA will be vulnerable.

Its medium range rockets can destroy Israel and all our common religious sites.

The danger of continuing the sanctions is that the internal economic problems may cause a radical wing of the government to embark on a military adventure that will lead to a worldwide nuclear conflict.

That may be a risk that we must face; or even act before Iran does if it appears that is what will happen. Once again the elephant in the parlor is Russia and Putin who seems to be on his own military adventure.
