SECRET U.S. PLAN: BUILDING A NUCLEAR PLANT ON DISPUTED ISLAND?
YADA, YADA, YADA...
While diplomats shuffle papers and draft proposals, Iran isn’t sitting around. Despite the ongoing negotiations and flashy new ideas like building a U.S.-controlled enrichment facility in the Gulf, the reality is stark: Tehran's nuclear weapons and delivery programs are likely far ahead of where anyone’s willing to admit publicly.
Behind the scenes, enrichment continues. Intelligence estimates and expert analysis suggest Iran may already have enough weapons-grade uranium for five to ten nuclear bombs. We hear "experts" claim that the breakout time until which Iran has a working nuclear device is measured in months--and that was a year ago.
The world keeps talking. Iran keeps enriching. And the clock keeps ticking.
The Proposal Leak…
|
A U.S. proposal to Iran, as reported by an Arab diplomatic source to Israel Hayom, includes building a uranium enrichment facility in the Gulf region. The facility, managed by the U.S., would serve multiple regional countries and provide a compromise to Iran’s desire to enrich uranium. The plan restricts enrichment to civilian purposes and above-ground sites only, requiring Iran to dismantle underground and military facilities. Though the proposal offers an original approach, it is uncertain whether Iran will accept it. However, both sides reportedly remain motivated to reach an agreement, suggesting Iran may not reject it outright. Gulf States’ Concerns: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) voiced concern over Iran’s nuclear activities and demanded:
Iran’s Position: While expressing willingness to negotiate, Iranian officials blame inconsistent U.S. messaging for the lack of progress. Spokesperson Fatemeh Mohejerani emphasized Iran’s commitment to dialogue. [OCS: As we saw in North Korea, previous administrations got played as diplomats talked and talked.] Upcoming UN Review: The UN Security Council will review the implementation of Resolution 2231 (which endorsed the 2015 JCPOA). UN and EU officials will report on compliance by all parties. [OCS: The United Nations is neither reputable nor reliable as it is openly anti-Israel and pro-Islamicist. The UN cannot be trusted!] U.S. Political Hurdles: Domestically, the plan faces criticism. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused the Trump administration of lacking transparency, warning against a “side deal” that might allow limited enrichment in Iran without congressional oversight. This echoes earlier Republican criticisms of the original JCPOA. [OCS: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is correct about one thing: any agreement involving the United States must be considered a treaty and confirmed by the Senate. Congress cannot allow President Trump to treat this matter as an Obama-style “Executive Agreement.”] Conclusion: The proposal represents a creative but complex diplomatic effort, with uncertain Iranian reception, regional security concerns, and significant political obstacles in the U.S. |
Mark Levin’s Seven Comments…
I’ve several questions that immediately come to mind about reports in multiple news outlets re the Iran deal presented to that regime, keeping in mind I only have access to these public reports. I am sure there are many more. I suggest that members of Congress will have several questions as well.
1. How do we know the Iranians will reveal all enrichment sites and enriched material to this consortium? The Iranian regime lies and has lied up to and including to today. This is also exactly what the North Korean regime did -- that is, delay and deceive and then breakout.
2. Iran is a large country. We just learned of a nuke site last week that had been unknown to the world. Will we have access to their country to inspect anywhere we wish? Will anyone? No way. They’ll play hide-and-seek. One of the complaints of the IAEA is that its inspectors were blocked. Why would they change now?
3. Won’t the Iranians play along for a few years and then, after the initial period and after the Trump presidency is over, thumb its nose at the world and breakout? Will there be more of a willingness to take military action then? I doubt it. If we learn in the interim that the Iranians have, yet again, lied and deceived, then what?
4. In the meantime, won’t the Iranians build up their military defenses, with the help of the Chinese, Russia, and North Koreans, making any subsequent military threat or action much more difficult and costly? Their defenses have never been weaker thanks to the actions taken a year ago by the Israeli military.
5. Will we prevent Israel from taking military action, or any action such as cyber, clandestine, etc., against the Iranian nuclear program? In other words, would an agreement like this, in effect, result in us protecting the Iranian regime?
6. Is Iran’s missile program also part of the negotiation, especially hypersonic and intercontinental missiles -- that is, their nuclear warhead delivery systems? How is Israel supposed to deal with this?
7. Are we looking at a situation in which Iran’s proxy, the Houthis, will continue to launch missiles into Israel, and Iran’s proxy, Hamas, will survive and rearm to strike Israel another day? Plus, Iran’s nuclear program survives, albeit at an artificially lower level, for which there is no mid-term to long-term guarantee that it won’t be quickly turned back on.
Bottom line…
While diplomacy remains a viable path for curbing nuclear proliferation in the region, any agreement with Iran must be backed by intrusive inspections, real military consequences in addition to ineffective sanctions for violations, and recognition of Tehran’s historical pattern of concealment and delay.
Trust, in this context, is not a given—it must be earned through verifiable actions, not promises.
We are already screwed as former President Obama handed Iran the roadmap to a nuclear future.
