New York Post editorial: Is there anything Obama’s not giving away in his Iran nuclear deal?
By lifting sanctions on Iran, President Obama’s nuclear deal will open the floodgates for Tehran’s funding of terrorism. So says Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
On a visit to Israel Tuesday, Dempsey warned of Iran’s rulers, “I think that they’ll invest in their [terror] surrogates. I think they will invest in additional military capability.”
Oops: The official Obama line is that Tehran will spend its windfall rebuilding its economy. Nice that someone from the administration is willing to tell the truth.
WNU Editor: Israel certainly believes that the U.S. is caving in .... Israel accuses world powers of yielding to Iran for nuclear deal (Reuters). But events in Iran are now raising the specter that a nuclear deal with Iran may be torpedoed by Iranian hardliners .... Power struggles in Iran could derail U.S.-Iranian nuclear talks as Ayatollah Khamanei’s undergoes surgery (Con Coughlin, The National Post/The Telegraph). Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamanei is suffering from cancer .... he is also the one who has permitted these talks to proceed. If he is unable to return to his duties .... it will leave a power vacuum in Iran, and there will definitely be no nuclear deal until Iran's internal politics have been ironed out.

The Khamanei's "very sick" development puts all of this in an intriguing light. What I understand is the guy to watch is Sadeq Larijani, who is a hardliner and supposedly anti-deal. It could be a ruse to bun rush the US into a deal. I think that if Khamanei is really about to join the choir invisible then the guy to watch is Solamainei the Quds commander. Where is he, in country or out?
