Iran Can Still Get The Bomb
By James S. Robbins, July 6, 2015 USA Today
The proposed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between the United States, Iran and other negotiating partners, contains a number of flaws, any one of which should be fatal to the deal.
Sanctions bait and switch:
Iran is subject to a variety of economic sanctions, imposed to punish the Islamic Republic for various types of misbehavior — nuclear proliferation, support for terrorism, ballistic missile programs, financial crimes, and human rights violations. The Obama administration pledged that the only sanctions in play in this deal were those dealing solely with the nuclear program, but the list of removable sanctions in Annex II relates in some way to every aspect of Iran's misbehavior. As well, the notion that sanctions will quickly "snap back" into place should Iran cheat is questionable at best, since it would require the UN Security Council and the European Union to respond swiftly when some members may not want to disrupt their emerging business relationships with Iran. This is in addition to the tens of billions no-strings-attached "signing bonus" Iran will receive when its oil assets held abroad are unfrozen. Even the White House admits that money could be used to energize terror networks.
