With so much spin being spun around the Framework Deal between Iran and the P5+1, RPI's Daniel McAdams goes point-by-point on what Iran agreed to give up in exchange for an end to the decades-long US, EU, and UN sanctions. The neocons in the US and their kindred spirits in Israel claim that Iran gave up nothing and will continue to build a nuclear weapon. Of course their own countries' intelligence services disagree, but that has never stopped neocon hyperbole. This deal, in the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "does not block Iran's path to the bomb. Such a deal paves Iran's path to the bomb." Of course Netanyahu's Iran hysteria goes back to at least 1992, when he claimed that Iran was just a couple of years away from a nuclear weapon.

Iran Deal Will Go Through
Michael S. Rozeff


Pessimism is being expressed in some quarters that the Senate will sabotage the Iran deal, and that this will lead to war between the U.S. and Iran under the next president. Neither of these is going to happen. Why not? Many reasons. (1) The deal will be finalized and the details filled in by the next deadline. That’s clear because there already is a lot of specificity in the action plan that’s on the White House web site. (2) The states behind this deal who negotiated it are major powers: China, France, Russia, the U.S., the U.K., and Germany. (3) The EU and the UN are behind the agreement. (4) It is actually a good deal for both sides. (5) Hillary Clinton has already voiced strong support for the deal. (6) Initial polls show Americans support the deal. (7) There is no cause of war with Iran, now or two years from now. (8) These particular negotiations have been going on since the initial 2013 agreement, but proposals go back as far as 2003. There is history supporting the quest and there is momentum. (9) Attempts to sabotage the deal at this late date appear and are retrogressive. Such attempts have no alternative agenda except confrontation and war.

Think it will go through? I do but not without a lot of threats and handwringing from the Neocons.
