CIA Director: Iran Deal Failed to Permanently Block Tehran’s Path to Nukes

We have been saying this since the beginning. Now the government admits it, but still lies about the “deal” they made with terrorists.

The Iran nuclear deal failed to permanently cut off Iran’s path to a nuclear weapon, as well as thwart its Middle East terror activities, CIA Director Mike Pompeo said at a conference Thursday.

US President Donald Trump had concluded “the deal had only delayed Iran’s nuclear program”, and that “the notion that entry” into the deal “would curtail Iranian adventurism, the terror threat, proved to be fundamentally false.”

Wait… what? Giving Iran Nuclear technology only sped it up. This is a no-brainer. Anything else is a lie to excuse the suicidal terrorist Iran nuclear “deal”.

Pompeo was being interviewed on stage by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Center on Sanctions and Illicit Finance chairman Juan Zarate, just days after Trump decertified Iran’s compliance with the deal in a major speech.

“Decertify” is a fancy word that just means Trump just kicked the ball over to congress to decide about the Iran deal. It’s the furthest thing from a repeal.

Though he evaded a question about whether Iran had violated the nuclear deal on a technical level, Pompeo focused on the Islamic Republic’s continued testing of ballistic missiles, prompting of Hezbollah to threaten Israel and being “at the center of so much turmoil in the Middle East.”

He admitted the deal’s inspection provisions had put things “in a marginally better place” in following Iran’s nuclear activities, but said he hoped Trump’s new pressure on Iran would lead to “more intrusive inspections.”

Another lie. How on earth did it put anything in a “better” place? Iran got a huge amount of nuclear technology, tested missiles, threatened to wipe out the U.S. and Israel, and has continue to refuse any access to it’s nuclear sites.

Iran’s atomic energy organization on Saturday said it was denying international inspectors access to the suspected nuclear facility at Parchin, stating the IAEA was not entitled to visit the military complex outside the Iranian capital of Iran.

And the U.N. decided they didn’t even want to inspect any of Iran’s nuclear facilities at all.

“We’re not going to visit a military site like Parchin just to send a political signal,” an IAEA official said, mentioning a military site often cited by opponents of the deal including Iran’s arch-adversary Israel and many U.S. Republicans.

The CIA director expressed concern that the exchange of nuclear technology between Iran and North Korea was a major danger, and specifically mentioned them assisting each other in the area of nuclear weapons testing.

You think? Gee, who would have guessed that giving terrorists nuclear secrets would be a problem? Why Obama’s Iranian nuclear “deal” not completely repealed? Don’t Republicans own the presidency, house, and senate?

Zoning in on North Korea, he appeared to concede that Pyongyang can — or within months will have — the ability to fire a nuclear weapon against the US.
