Arutz Sheva: Kerry Indicates US Will Defend Iran from Israel
Kerry indirectly tells Senate deal will have US protect Iranian nuclear program from Israeli sabotage; 'wait till we get to that point.'
US Secretary of State John Kerry indirectly conceded that the US would defend Iran's nuclear program from Israeli sabotage on Thursday, in a hearing at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in which he was grilled over the deal reached last Tuesday.
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) put Kerry on the spot when he asked him and Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz whether the controversial articles in Annex III on page 142 of the 159-page deal would stipulate that the US block Israeli attempts to scupper the Iranian nuclear threat.
The articles in question state that the US, world powers and the EU obligate to "co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage."
WNU Editor: The Israeli press .... and much of the press in the rest of the Middle East .... is covering this story. The U.S. main stream press .... no. That in itself speaks volumes.

How can you protect something your not even allowed to inspect?
That is a dumb statement. You didn't read the deal? Do you know how to read?
Actually Phil's question is a valid one. Since the agreement does not allow us to inspect the sites, there would seem no conceivable way for us to protect them.
While I'm not defending Mr. Kerry, when he was asked if we would be obligated to help defend Iran against an Israeli operation he stated "no." (It's unlikely we could anyway as Israel would conduct the attack and be gone before we even knew about it.) As for "wait till we get to that point" probably means we would have to evaluate each situation individually to determine the best step forward.
Frankly the Israelis would be wise not to trust John Kerry or any member of the American government for that matter.
One letter
I like many on here have read multiple articles about the Iranian nuclear deal.....You should do the same!
But thanks for the dumb statement.
