What if I told you that, buried within the Iran nuclear “deal”, is a way that Iran can bug out in one month flat?
You\’d be flabbergasted, wouldn\’t you? It would mean Iran can make its “agreement”, get all the sanctions lifted, take the enormous windfall this provides – hundreds of billions of dollars – and then walk away, laughing at what fools Barack Obama, John Kerry and their European counterparts are.
So there couldn\’t possibly be any way for Iran to do that, right?
My answer is: Paragraph 36.
You can click here and scroll to Paragraph 36 of the agreement, or… I\’ll make it much easier for you… just read its entire text below. The bold print is mine.
36. If Iran believed that any or all of the E3/EU+3 were not meeting their
commitments under this JCPOA, Iran could refer the issue to the Joint
Commission for resolution; similarly, if any of the E3/EU+3 believed that Iran
was not meeting its commitments under this JCPOA, any of the E3/EU+3 could
do the same. The Joint Commission would have 15 days to resolve the issue,
unless the time period was extended by consensus. After Joint Commission
consideration, any participant could refer the issue to Ministers of Foreign
Affairs, if it believed the compliance issue had not been resolved. Ministers
would have 15 days to resolve the issue, unless the time period was extended
by consensus. After Joint Commission consideration – in parallel with (or in lieu
of) review at the Ministerial level – either the complaining participant or the
participant whose performance is in question could request that the issue be
considered by an Advisory Board, which would consist of three members (one
each appointed by the participants in the dispute and a third independent
member). The Advisory Board should provide a non-binding opinion on the
compliance issue within 15 days. If, after this 30-day process the issue is not
resolved, the Joint Commission would consider the opinion of the Advisory
Board for no more than 5 days in order to resolve the issue. If the issue still has
not been resolved to the satisfaction of the complaining participant, and if the
complaining participant deems the issue to constitute significant nonperformance,
then that participant could treat the unresolved issue as grounds
to cease performing its commitments under this JCPOA in whole or in part
and/or notify the UN Security Council that it believes the issue constitutes
significant non-performance.
That\’s right. Obama and Kerry not only capitulated to Iran on virtually every issue, but gave it a legal mechanism for taking everything it can get, then complaining about something or other, claiming its complaint was not being addressed satisfactorily, and leaving in 30 days (not that they need a legal way of doing so, Iran ignores every agreement it makes anyway).
Then what happens? Bombs away, Tel Aviv?
Anyone who thinks this “deal” is anything other than a joke – a sad, dirty joke – is living in a dream world….
….the same dream world our wonderful “neutral” mainstream media are in, for – with relatively few exceptions – not advising us of paragraph 36 in all this time.
These are journalists???????????
