Isn't it great that Obama freed billions and billions in Iranian assets and set up a deal that totally guided the murderous Iranian regime toward the holy light of progressive utopia?
Tehran will be able to break out to a nuclear weapon within 10 weeks, Defense Minister Benny Gantz told diplomats from UN Security Council member states on Wednesday as tensions ratcheted up between Iran and the international community over its maritime attacks.
"Iran has violated all of the guidelines set in the JCPOA [nuclear agreement] and is only around 10 weeks away from acquiring weapons-grade materials necessary for a nuclear weapon," Gantz warned.
"Therefore," he added, "it is time to act. The world must apply economic sanctions and take operative action against the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps," which has targeted shipping vessels.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has also sounded the alarm in recent weeks on Iran's advancing nuclear program.
The Obama-Biden nuclear deal of 2015 was widely criticized for easing restrictions on the terrorist regime in exchange for the promise that they would halt their nuclear development plan.
In 2018, Trump scrapped Obama and Biden's deal, saying it would accomplish nothing except give Iran more time and concessions to develop their program in secret and carry out terror attacks across the region.
The day before Biden took office in January, Iran announced that it would no longer follow the deal. Iran then rejected Biden's offer of talks about a new deal.
The US and Iran engaged in indirect negotiations this year to return to the 2015 nuclear deal, whose limitations on uranium enrichment would expire in 2030 and which does not address Iran's proxy warfare or other malign behavior in the Middle East.
Iran says it won't even consider more negotiations until its new president, Ebrahim Raisi, has had a chance to form a new government. Raisi only stepped into the role this week.
In the meantime, two things will assuredly happen:
- Team Biden will be twiddling their thumbs, intent on the belief that the murderous Islamic thugs holding an entire nation hostage can be negotiated with in good faith.
- Iran will continue enriching uranium and plotting attacks on Israel, the US, and everyone else in its expressed goal to eliminate its enemies from the face of the earth.
