Mossad chief Barnea calls emerging nuclear accord a “strategic disaster” with Iran just weeks from breakout

Mossad Director Dedi Barnea countered optimistic remarks by the officials, back from Washington last week after making an urgent bid to ward off the damage contained in the nuclear accord with Iran before the US signs. It is a “bad deal,” they said, but the Biden administration may still be amenable to some adjustments.

Barnea, however, harshly denigrated the deal on the table as “a strategic disaster” when he met a small group of reporters after briefing the Prime Minister and other high officials on the true state of play. Israel’s spy chief, who leads the national intelligence effort, did not use the term loosely. A “strategic disaster” was last mentioned 49 years ago when Israel came perilously close to being defeated in the Yom Kippur War.

In Barnea’s view, Iran is one-to-three months away from reaching a nuclear threshold. The current accord is not much different from the 2015 original and would not stop Iran’s nuclear program reaching its goals by 2026 when the “sunset clause” would free Iran’s nuclear program from any commitments. Meanwhile there was no bar to Iran developing the ballistic missiles for delivering a nuclear bomb.

The lifting of sanctions would moreover release a multibillion-dollar bonanza for funding Iran’s nuclear program and fueling its region-wide campaign of terrorism carried forward by Hizballah, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas, the Yemeni Houthi insurgents and the pro-Iranian armed militias. And not only against Israel. The United States would be challenged by the Revolutionary Guards Al Qods force. Other states in the region would possibly try to emulate Iran as their model and Israel would encounter mounting obstacles in dealing with the empowered, enriched Iranian challenge.

We’ve been reading reports for years now that Iran is within months or weeks from breakout.

I personally believe they’ve already constructed a device already.

I saw the original version of The Manchurian Candidate and didn't know there was a more recent version.

Obama, Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and the other hard Left leaders in the Democratic Party want to turn the US into a totalitarian state, an English-speaking version of the German Democratic Republic or Castro's Cuba. But I don't really understand how Iran fits into the picture (apart from being extremely hostile to US interests) since their version of totalitarianism is based on an extreme form of Shi'ism, not on Marxism.

Iran goes after Israel.

They’ll fail; big time. But they’ll still try.

I say IMHO the Deceiver has used these folks to implement his works.

The decline of the USA since 2008 is dramatic.

The Deceiver, that Old Dragon and Satan is still trying to destroy Israel in Revelation 12.

The day with Iran (and her allies is coming).

It will get the attention of the whole Earth.

God bless you.

I actually got to eventually really like the 2nd one. Multiple viewings.

Iran, by deceit or design is being allowed even assisted in reaching that day (of Ezekiel 38).

Keep watching and keep looking up!

“Maybe the Mossad can do something about it for us.”

Yes I am wondering since when did that agency take to words.
