Dick Cheney descends further into self-parody, hints Iran deal will trigger nuclear war

[DonViejo]

Ex-veep: Deal leaves us closer to "use of nuclear weapons than we’ve been at any time since Hiroshima and Nagasaki"

SOPHIA TESFAYE

Former Vice President Dick Cheney reacted to the Iranian nuclear deal with his usual doom and gloom on Tuesday, claiming that the deal brings the world the closest to using a nuclear weapon since 1945.

Cheney told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he was “disturbed” by what he called President Obama’s “lie,” a multinational deal aimed at limiting Iran’s nuclear program on Tuesday, arguing that the deal will lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

This deal “will, in fact, I think put us to closer to use — actual use of nuclear weapons than we’ve been at any time since Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II,” Cheney declared.

After Hannity asked him about “a day that will live in infamy,” Cheney lamented the signing of the landmark deal, saying, “I can’t help but shake my head”:

What Obama has done, has in effect sanctioned, the acquisition by Iran of nuclear capability. And it can be a few years down the road. It doesn’t make any difference. It’s a matter of months until we’re going to see a situation where other people feel they have to defend themselves by acquiring their own capability, and that will, in fact, I think put us to closer to use — actual use of nuclear weapons than we’ve been at any time since Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II.

4. Israeli Paper; The preamble includes an Iranian pledge never to develop or purchase nuclear weapons

After more than two weeks of marathon talks, a deal on Iran’s nuclear program was announced in Vienna on Tuesday.

The preamble includes an Iranian pledge never to develop or purchase nuclear weapons. The rest of the 159-page agreement, along with its five annexes, detail all the provisions meant to ensure this pledge is kept.

But Tuesday’s announcement is just the start of a lengthy process that will be overseen by an eight-member committee, comprised of representatives of the eight parties that negotiated the agreement – Iran, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the European Union.

Stringent inspections

As part of the deal, Iran pledged to sign the Additional Protocol to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, which enables more stringent supervision by the IAEA. It also agreed to additional supervisory measures, including monitoring of its uranium mines and its production of raw uranium for 25 years. Its production of centrifuges and centrifuge parts will be under supervision for 20 years.
