Last year, the Senate called on President Obama to “use the tools it has in pursuit of what should be a bipartisan goal: securing the release of American citizens being held as hostages by the regime in Iran.” Today, in the announcement of a nuclear deal with Iran that ignores the plight of these three hostages, the Obama administration has left behind a Christian preacher, a journalist, and a U.S. Marine.

In brief, the agreement trades enormous amounts of cash for Iran’s pinkie swear that they will not develop nuclear weapons now, and the blind hope that Iran’s regime will magically moderate over the next five to ten years – a hope made even more distant by the fact that this deal reinforces the power and strength of the current Iranian regime.
Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) said that the Iran deal “ultimately legitimizes Iran as a threshold nuclear state” and “doesn’t end Iran’s nuclear program, it preserves it” on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Rundown with Jose Diaz-Balart.” Menendez said that he
Tuesday House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) reacted to the announcement by Obama administration of the nuclear deal with Iran and said if the details are as bad as the first reports suggest, he will make every effort to stop the deal. Boehner
“He should have walked away,” Christie said. “Iran joins the sad list of countries where America’s red lines have been crossed. The president is playing a dangerous game with our national security, and the deal as structured will lead to a nuclear Iran and, then, a nuclearized Middle East.” Christie also called on Congress to reject the deal in the interests of national security.
President Obama mistakenly said that “Iran” would have access to their nuclear program, when he meant to say “inspectors.”
On Tuesday, world powers reached a nuclear agreement with Iran after nearly two years of intense talks, and a decade of confrontation. U.S. President Barack Obama hailed the deal, and threatened to veto any attempt to stop it. The Iranian regime, too, celebrated it as a victory for diplomacy. Israel, meanwhile, panned a “terrible deal” and a “mistake of historic proportions.” So who is right?

Gen. Martin Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, insisted during a congressional hearing that under “no circumstances” should there be relief for Iran on ballistic missiles and arms trafficking.

“There is much talk of deadlines looming ominously, but Iran knows perfectly well that the deadline is its friend—and the West’s enemy,” Breitbart News wrote last week. It seems this credulous, juvenile administration finally figured that out, as the Wall Street Journal reports the U.S. is floating the idea of an “open-ended diplomatic process,” waving aside deadlines altogether.

President Obama said once again on Tuesday that the U.S. would “walk away” from a bad deal with Iran. Apparently, the definition of a “bad deal” does not include one that tosses out a key commitment included in the U.S. fact sheet published in April.
