Obama, Iran in Secret Nuclear Deal

Reza Kahlili, DC

My sources inside Iran tell me that President Obama, seeking to protect the recovering U.S. economy and bolster his chances of being re-elected in November, apparently has entered into an informal agreement with Iran that he believes will defuse the nuclear weapons crisis and keep Israel from attacking the Islamic regime.

The agreement calls for the United States to acknowledge that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, and for Iran to hand over its highly enriched uranium, which is necessary for nuclear weaponization.

Iran, for its part, though engaging Obama, has no intention of abiding by the agreement and is stepping up its nuclear enrichment program clandestinely, even as it prepares for a war it believes it can win.

When Obama took office in 2009, he threw out the Bush administration’s aggressive posture in negotiating with Iran and instead sought a new approach, one of diplomacy and friendship. He had a golden opportunity to support millions of Iranians who took to the streets over Iran’s fraudulent elections that June, but instead turned his back on freedom and democracy while believing that negotiations with the Islamic regime would yield results.

Once the protests had died down, the Iranians, after months of promises, announced that a proposed agreement by the West that limited their nuclear activity was no longer acceptable and that they had successfully enriched uranium to 20 percent, which is nine-tenths of the way to nuclear weaponization.

The Iranians have now expanded their nuclear program to the point where they not only have enough low-enriched uranium for six nuclear bombs but also have doubled their stock of highly enriched uranium of 20 percent. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently reported that Iran has added 3,000 more centrifuges to the Natanz facility, bringing the total to 9,000, and has started enriching to 20 percent at the previous secret site, the Fordow facility, which is deep within a mountain and secure against any attack. Such production could give Iran weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs within weeks.

Obama knows that Israel is losing patience with the lack of progress over Iran’s unabated continuation of its illicit nuclear program despite four sets of U.N. sanctions and other sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the European Union. He also knows that any confrontation between Israel and Iran will drag America into an unwanted war and therefore destabilize the American economy and harm his chances of re-election.

Iran knows that its best chance to delay any attack on its nuclear and military facilities and its best opportunity to be in a win-win situation is to once again engage Obama, believing he is weak, that Iran holds the key to his re-election and that a Republican win in November could mean direct confrontation

As revealed in January, Obama sent a message to the Iranian leaders through three different channels. Part of it, disclosed by the Iranian officials, reflected a message by the U.S. president asking for cooperation and negotiation based on mutual interests, but more importantly, it assured Iran that America will not take any action against the Islamic regime.

Sources within Iran reveal that Khamenei, in a secret meeting with his top officials and military commanders, has issued a directive to push for a step-by-step Russian proposal to defuse the crisis in which Iran would only hand over its 20 percent enrichment stock while keeping all low-enriched uranium stock (enough for six nuclear bombs) and cooperate more with the IAEA (all the while continuing its enrichment activity). In exchange, the West would ease up on the sanctions as each step is taken.

The U.S., for its part, had to announce that Iran is not after the nuclear bomb, backing Israel into a corner and pressuring it not to take any action.

In the same meeting it was decided that if the West did not take the offer, then a limited war in the region could help the Iranian leaders further consolidate power at home, incite further uprisings in the region, become the leader of the Islamic movement by attacking Israel and still save some of its nuclear facilities, which are either at secret locations or deep underground. And that would justify their pursuit of the nuclear bomb.

The Obama administration responded positively. First, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsy, publicly announced that Iran is a rational actor and that it is not after a nuclear bomb. Then, just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to arrive in Washington for talks with Obama over Iran’s nuclear program, the consensus of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies said Iran has already stopped efforts to build a bomb.

This despite the most recent IAEA report clearly indicating the military aspect of the Iranian nuclear program and last week’s announcement by the U.N. nuclear agency that Iran has ramped up by 50 percent its production of highly enriched uranium, well beyond what is normally needed for peaceful nuclear energy.

In response to the Americans meeting Khamenei’s demands, the Iranian supreme leader responded by publicly announcing that Iran has never sought and will never seek nuclear weapons as it regards possession of such weapons a great sin.

Other Iranian officials did their part by announcing that the cooperation with the IAEA will continue to once again show the world that claims of Iran wanting a nuclear bomb are unfounded.

In this high-stakes game, Iranian leaders believe Obama is hamstrung by politics, and even if war comes, ultimately Russia and China will intervene to support Iran, demanding a cease-fire and therefore giving Iran a victory similar to the outcome of the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel war.

Though an election year, Obama must know that radicals ruling Iran, if given time, will obtain nuclear weapons, changing the world as we know it forever, no matter who is in the White House come 2013.

  1. What we need is force, deadly force to act as an effective counter to the devellishly forces arrayed against Israel. We need an Eidelberg at the Helm.

  2. Is this really happening? Why is there is no uproar in the US? The American Jews meeting at AIPAC on Sunday should tell President Obama that he should either help Israel or get out of the way and let Israel defend itself and not make secret absurd deals with Iran. Are these delegates at AIPAC just going to sit there and applaud Obama like some members of a rubber-stamp Communist parliament? Netanyanu will not back down. Since last week we know that for sure because Ari Shavit in his Ha’aretz article revealed an important fact: A few years ago Netanyahu held an in-depth discussion with Middle East expert Bernard Lewis. At the end of the talk he was convinced that if the ayatollahs obtained nuclear weapons, they would use them. Since that day, Netanyahu seems convinced that we are living out a rerun of the 1930s.

  3. Gosh, where are our two Ovomit lovers, Ya-Meet and Catamarin this morning, oh, make that three with the pathetic Lenny…

    Ovomit had the opportunity to impose these “tough”sanctions THREE YEARS AGO when the same Iranian REVOLTINGguards aka thugs whom Senators Ovomit and Blowhard (Biden)refused to label as a “terrorist organization”prior to being elected raped and shot down scores of innocent women – and children, including Neda Soltan – in the streets
    of Tehran – egged on by those same Rapists, Child Molesters, and Holocaust deniers (i.e., Khameini and Ahmadinejedad) whom Ovomit preffered to “engage” – i.e., APPEASE.

    Remember, he and the serial plump clueless, cuckolded bimbo over at Foggy Bottom, you know, the laughingstock of most thinking American women,Miss Shrillary “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy”Clinton touted their “smart” (really – STUPID) diplomacy when it was obvious we needed COWBOY diplomacy to deal with the Mad Mullahs.

    Three years on, after cruise missiles fired at Libya in a truly ILLEGAL war while doing nothing about Iran and its surrogate Syria, and finally with Bibi making a lot of noise, Ovomit decides to get tough.As that wise old Indian Chief told Captain Nathan Brittles (John Wayne) in “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon”:

    TOO LATE, NATHAN, TOO LATE…Errr, make that TOO LATE BONZO OVOMIT, TOO LATE!

  4. I agree with Kahlili’s estimate, and with comments 1-3.

    It really looks as though the fate of the world is in the hands of the Israeli PM, Mr. Netanyahu. When events have so simplified, that one inclination one way or another, in one person, will change the course of history, it ought to impress even those of little faith of the importance of prayer.

    The Bible says, “The heart of the king is in the hand of God”. God can turn the situation any way He wishes, yet He has let things come to this very intense stand-off. Is it just because He wants to be glorified before Pharobama and the gods of this world? I don’t think so. There are many more things on God’s agenda than just this. Here’s a few:

    1. God wants to purify His people, just as He did in Moses’ day. Israel is in the Promised Land, but they still haven’t put away their idols. The silversmiths are still plying their trade, only the silver is going to fund yeshivas; and there are still those crying out “Great is Diana of Ephesus”, or whoever their national deity is. That is the nature of idolatry; it is the same today, as it was 2000 years ago.

    2. God has promised to bring sinful Israel back into Zion, after they have “turned to Him with their whole heart”. Many Jews have indeed come to Israel; but even their fellow Jews say that those who pioneered Zionism do not serve God with their whole heart. And those who think they DO serve Him so, believe that they have never fallen away; that for generation after generation, they have kept the commandments correctly while all others walked in error. They are in Zion, but they haven’t repented from anything. How, then, have they “turned to God with their whole heart”? So even in the land of Israel, there are two camps who live in contradiction to each other; and yet another camp still lives in exile. Is this the fulfillment of God’s plan, as laid out in the final chapters of Deuteronomy? No, I think Hashem is capable of much more than that.

    So, what should we pray for? That God grant victory to a people who are so obviously bent on not doing His will? Or should we pray for defeat, so they will wake up and turn to God? It is so obvious, that God can easily turn the situation one way or the other, yet He leaves us hanging in suspense. Abraham interceded for Sodom, not realizing at first what the real condition of those people was. Through his intercession, he was able to save Lot and his daughters. If we pray wisely today, we should be able to accomplish something similar.

    Barry Obama is the US President, because the God of Israel allowed it; in fact, He may well have engineered it. With Hurricane Katrina, He made Bush and the Republicans look like fools. Then He allowed Fannie Mae to go belly up at just the right moment to turn the tide and defeat McCain. In 2000, how many “hanging chads” did God cause to hang? All it took was one thought in the minds of a few voters: “Don’t poke the hole so hard. You don’t have to push it all the way through”. And in 1992, just a little over a year after having an 80% positive approval rating, George H. W. Bush went down in the wreckage of a souring economy and two devastating hurricanes.

    It’s time to get serious, before the One who matters.

  5. There surely comes a point in time, at which

    — in the immortal words of a certain William Claude Dunkenfield[s] (1880-1946) —

    you simply have to take the bull by the tail

    — and stare the facts

    full in the face.

  6. This reminds me of the NIE 2007 claiming the same simply tu undercut Pres Bush; later declared that it was done in error.
    We also know that obama plays games because of politics; he does not care one iota about the jewish State, and its people. Re-election is what he needs to finish off Israel, most likely declaring war on Israel thru his proxies – the MB, Iran, Hezbollah, andHamas. It is also why he will not do anything to help the syrian people.
    He acts in pure malice; but does not understand that de dooms us – the american public or rather those who do not vote for him.
    God will not look kindly upon the USA; leaving his people naked and, exposed.

    I pray that he will NOT succeed; that Bibi’s priority should always be his people in Israel, that he will not allow these traitors to bamboozle him again. The upcoming election will hange the landscape; in my heart I believe – God willing – that a conservative will win; and stops this evil game cold in it’s tracks.

    It is imperative, that Israel knows that there are many of us who supports it than those who do not; they are outnumbered.
    Bibi’s upcoming visit needs to be that of an iron will; no warning when the attack takes place; who knows obummer may warn the enemy; I won’t put nothing past him to my horror.
    Please, Israel stay strong – you will prevail; just don’t give into blackmail! I’m sorry to have to be so blunt; my love for my brothers and, sister in Israel is greater, and outweighs all.
