Jerusalem Post: Ex-secretaries of state Kissinger, Shultz pan Obama's Iran nuclear deal
The former top diplomats said that the framework agreement with Iran effectively concedes any option of using military force to compel Iranian compliance.
Two former US secretaries of state - Henry Kissinger and George Shultz - penned an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday criticizing President Barack Obama for the framework agreement his administration reached with Iran last week.
The former top diplomats said that the framework agreement with Iran effectively concedes any option of using military force to compel Iranian compliance.
“Mixing shrewd diplomacy with open defiance of UN resolutions, Iran has gradually turned the negotiation on its head,” Kissinger and Shultz wrote in the Journal. “Iran’s centrifuges have multiplied from about 100 at the beginning of the negotiation to almost 20,000 today. The threat of war now constrains the West more than Iran.”
WNU Editor: John Kerry is definitely no George Shultz or Henry Kissinger. George Schultz and Henry Kissinger's Wall Street Journal op-ed is here.
