Iran’s threat of genocide by calling for the eradication of the Jewish state of Israel could complicate the removal of certain international sanctions against the Islamic Republic, an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal on Monday revealed.
The U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide obligates signatories to prevent all forms and threats of genocide, which recent calls by Iranian military and political officials for the destruction of Israel clearly seem to contradict.
And since a nuclear payload delivered by intercontinental ballistic missiles are the Iranian regime’s most logical tool to execute its apparent genocidal ambitions, lifting sanctions against its missiles program after eight years, as the recently agreed nuclear deal stipulates, without any sort of Iranian disavowal of seeking to destroy the Jewish state would appear to belie international law on preventing genocide.
Lifting U.S. sanctions against Iran’s central bank could also prove difficult, influential attorneys David B. Rivkin Jr. and Lee A. Casey contended in the WSJ piece, because these sanctions cannot be waived until the president has declared Iran “has stopped its ballistic-missile program, ceased money-laundering and no longer sponsors international terrorism.”
Also, while the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action struck by negotiators from Iran and world powers in Vienna on July 14 addresses concerns that local and state authorities in the U.S. could continue to impose economic sanctions on Iran, it remains unclear whether Washington could actually force all state-level sanctions to be lifted.
States have the power, for example, to prohibit taxpayer-funded public pension funds from investing in Iranian companies.
How does one write a headline like that? Do they give themselves a dope slap?
0bama seems to have been working to erase Israel for the last 7 years.

Of course nothing will happen. If the US cared about acting against Direct and public incitement to commit genocide, a crime, we wouldn't be sending money to the palestinian authority to incite to commit genocide any more that we'd provide the Great Inciter with protection for their nuclear program.
These lawyers are naïve. They actually believe that Obama will obey a law he doesn’t like.
Or it could help them.
golly GOSH!
J heee whizz!
YA THINK???
“a nuclear payload delivered by intercontinental ballistic missiles are the Iranian regime’s most logical tool to execute its apparent genocidal ambitions”
CORRECTION: Iran and Israel are on the same continent.
The law says one thing, Bammer does what ever he wants.
The “Treaty” says one thing, muzzies do what ever they want.
Why even bother?
