Obama's Iranian Lies
By Daniel Greenfield

Senator Obama opposed naming Iran's Revolutionary
Guard Corps a terror group even while it was closely
involved in organizing attacks against American
soldiers in Iraq. Then, as part of his dirty deal
with Iran, he secretly sent a fortune in foreign
cash on airplanes linked to the IRGC.
And,
as another part of the secret ransom deal with Iran,
he lifted UN sanctions on Bank Sepah.
The United States has gone after plenty of banks for
aiding terror finance, but Bank Sepah is somewhat
unique in that it is a financial institution
actually owned and operated by Islamic terrorists.
Bank Sepah is an IRGC bank. The IRGC, despite
Obama’s denials, is an Islamic terror group with
American blood on its hands. It is to Shiite Islam
what ISIS is to Sunni Islam. And even the Democrats
know it.
After the Khobar Towers bombing, which killed 19
Americans, President Clinton sent a message to the
leader of Iran warning that the United States had
evidence of IRGC involvement in the attack.
More recently, Secretary of State John Kerry
admitted that the IRGC have been “labeled as
terrorists” when discussing how the Shiite terror
organization will benefit from Obama’s sanctions
relief.
Bank Sepah however had been sanctioned for something
bigger than terrorism. The scale of bombings it was
involved in could make the Khobar Towers attack seem
minor. Sepah had been sanctioned for being "involved
in nuclear or ballistic missile activities."
Among other activities, it had helped Iran buy
ballistic missile technology from North Korea.
Iran’s nuclear weapons program would only be halfway
complete if it gets the bomb. It also needs missiles
to be able to strike Israel, Europe and eventually
America. That’s where North Korea and Bank Sepah
come in. Bank Sepah helps keep Iran’s ballistic
missile industry viable. By delisting it, Obama
aided Iran’s ballistic missile program just as he
had earlier aided its nuclear program.
Obama’s holistic approach to the Iranian bomb is to
help the terror state assemble the physical
components it needs to become a nuclear power. And
the truth is hidden within the secret deals.
There are secret deals that Obama made with Iran
that we already know about. There are secret deals
that we suspect exist. And there are secret deals
whose existence we are not even aware of.
Obama rang in Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, by
assuring the Rabbis on a conference call that they
didn’t need to worry about Iran nuking anyone
because “every pathway to a nuclear weapon is now
closed off.”
That’s funny because last year he was still claiming
that under his deal in 13 years Iran’s breakout time
will, “have shrunk almost down to zero.” If every
pathway to a nuclear weapon is closed, how could
Iran possibly have zero breakout time to make the
occasion of the bar mitzvah of his dirty nuclear
deal?
And which Obama do you believe? Try neither.
The secret document revealed earlier this year by
the AP showed that Iran would be able to get its
uranium enrichment in gear after 11 years and more
than double its enrichment rate. What happens by the
thirteenth year? Then Iran gets a blank check on
centrifuges. That’s what Obama really meant.
Then breakout time to the bomb drops from a year to
six months. Or even less. Until it hits zero.
But Ernest Moniz, Obama’s sniveling Secretary of
Energy, assured the AP that it wouldn’t be a problem
because Iran would only be allowed to store 300
kilograms of low-enriched uranium.
He lied.
Even as Obama was assuring the Rabbis of how
thoroughly Iran was complying with his deal, new
revelations were emerging of how he had helped Iran
fake its compliance with the deal.
That’s the sort of thing you go to hell for. But
it’s a little too late for Obama to worry about
that.
The issue was simple. Obama wanted to lift sanctions
on Iran. But Iran was not in compliance with even
his mostly worthless agreement. So Obama decided
that it was time to help the terror state fake it.
Iran was only allowed to keep 300 kilograms of
low-enriched uranium. Obama agreed to upgrade that
amount to “unknown quantities”. How much is an
“unknown quantity”? Like the rest of Iran’s nuclear
program, we don’t know. Low-enriched uranium, even
in unknown quantities, doesn’t sound that scary.
Except that according to a former U.N. weapons
inspector, it can be used to produce highly enriched
uranium. And that’s how you go from zero to a
mushroom cloud over your city.
And then there are the large hot cells that Iran was
allowed to keep running.
Secretary of Energy Moniz didn’t just lie to the AP.
Lying to the media is practically an Obama indoor
sport. He told the same lie in his testimony to the
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. Senators were
assured that Iran would be allowed to keep "only 300
kilograms of low (3.67 percent) enriched uranium
hexafluoride, and will not exceed this level for
fifteen years." Iran didn’t have to wait 15 years to
exceed that amount. Or even 15 minutes. Obama gave
them a pass on it right out of the gate.
But Moniz wasn’t a rogue liar. He was telling the
lie that he had been told to tell.
At the Rosh Hashana conference call with the Rabbis,
Obama repeated the false claim that Iran had
“shipped out 98 percent of its enriched uranium”. He
told the lie even though the truth had already come
out at the beginning of September. The 98 percent or
300 kilogram limit had been bypassed by him.
No one challenged him or called him out on his lie.
And that is the problem.
Obama has lied about the Iran deal from the very
beginning. And that’s not about to change.
The fairy godmother of Iran’s enrichment was Hillary
Clinton. The “breakthrough” in the negotiations took
place when she accepted some Iranian nuclear
enrichment. And then it was just a matter of
determining how much enrichment would take place
officially and how much would take place
unofficially that would be officially ignored or
covered up by our own government.
That is how we got to the ticking atomic time bomb.
Obama hasn’t just turned a blind eye to Iran’s race
to the bomb. He has empowered and enabled all
elements of it from its nuclear program to its
ballistic missile program. He has ensured that Iran
would have the money, the manpower and the resources
to become a nuclear power. He directed elements of
our intelligence services and military to prevent
Israel from striking Iran’s nuclear program. He even
aided its core terrorist organization and its
ballistic missile program.
This isn’t an error. It’s not cowardice. It’s
treason.
A coldly calculated plan to turn Iran into a nuclear
power is coming together. On the other end of it
lies the horrifying death of millions.
Why would Obama and Hillary do such a horrifying
thing? The American scientists and spies who helped
the Soviet Union get the bomb believed that they
were making the world a better place by limiting our
ability to use nuclear weapons. Their treason almost
led to the end of human life on earth.
The Iran deal is the second great wave of nuclear
treason of the left. And the full truth is yet to be
told.
