Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump unleashed on Tuesday another line of attack against the Iran nuclear deal, suggesting that the Iran deal would require the United States to fight Israel on Iran’s behalf if the Jewish State strikes Iran’s nuclear facilities.
In a phone interview with CNN Tuesday evening, Trump claimed that there’s “something in the Iran deal” that “people don’t understand” saying if someone attacks Iran, “we have to come to their defense.”
“Does that include Israel?” Trump asked. “And most people say yes, they don’t have an exclusion for Israel. So if Israel attacks Iran, according to that deal, I believe, the way it reads, unless they have a codicil or they have something to it, that we have to fight with Iran against Israel.”

Sheer insanity!!
He’s right.
Do we know for a fact that this deal has us protecting Iran from attack (including from Israel) or is Donald just inferring it from some other information?
This is another little known fact that The Donald is verbalizing for all to hear.
Gotta luv him.
No, it has been widely reported in several sources that’s part of the deal.
Relax!
It could take QUITE a while for US help to get to Iran.
Golfing, you know.
On page 142, the deal includes a clause that states, “Co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems.”Washington-based Center for Security Policy asserted that Annex III appears “to commit the United States and other world powers to the defense of Iran’s nuclear program.”
NOT TO WORRY! As soon as the agreement is implemented the Iranians will violate it negating all terms of the agreement. The next President is then free to do whatever is necessary to protect U.S. interests.
Trumps “our problems are caused by the stupid politicians who are running our country” observations looks better and better with every passing day.
If that’s the case (I have not seen that anywhere) then you can count on another couple of poll points for Trump. He will EVISCERATE Obama over this.
See post #8.
This “deal” is sheer lunacy. Like the rest of fringe lunatic liberal policy.
The defense obligation is expressly in the document.
Cruz’s vote for the Corker bill gave me doubt concerning his readiness.
yes he is and you are as well, traitor in the white house and congress.
If I recall correctly this question was asked of Kerry and he refused to deny it. So I have inferred this myself.
This agreement does the precise opposite of what it is presented to do. It shelters Iran’s nuclear weapons program and pays for it.
We are now allies with Radical Islam, the most violent retrograde ideology the modern world has ever known.
We now stand in defense of the butchers of innocence and the executioners of western civilization.
The Iran “deal” is no deal at all. What are Kerry and Obama getting in return for selling out the rest of the world in favor of Iran? They must be getting something. There has to be more to this story. Does Iran know something about them? Why are Obama and Kerry so desperate to get a very very VERY bad deal? You would have to try hard to get a “deal” this bad. There is something more behind this.
The Congress needs to demand this be treated like a treaty.
Somebody needs to be charged with TREASON!
