Now, top Iranian officials are openly boasting of successfully playing the West, while retaining the ability to restart their nuclear arms program at a moment’s notice.
Barack Obama was apparently fooled. A large segment of the Western populace, however, is quite aware of what jihadists and jihadist states are up to, but apparently not a large enough segment, since leaders keep on being elected and reelected who are allowing jihadists to destroy Western freedoms, undermine democratic states, and put citizens at risk for more jihad attacks.
“Iran Boasts That It Tricked the World, Can Now Start Making Nukes”, Israel Today, September 7, 2017:
Israel warned former US President Barack Obama that Iran wouldn’t honor the nuclear arms deal he brokered with the Islamic Republic.
The ayatollahs and their elected puppets went through the motions, but never truly fulfilled the stipulations of the agreement.
The West, fearful of escalating tensions, turned a blind eye to numerous violations. But that only kicked the can down the road, as the Americans say.
Now, top Iranian officials are openly boasting of successfully playing the West, while retaining the ability to restart their nuclear arms program at a moment’s notice.
In an August 22 interview on Iran’s IRINN TV, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Ali Akbar Salehi, revealed that his people had poured cement into a few external pipes at the Arak nuclear reactor in order to fool international inspectors, but had not disabled its core.
“If we want to, we can start enriching uranium to 20% within five days, and that is very significant,” said Salehi…..
gary says
Tricked the world?!
No. Tricked Obama.
The world knew Iran couldn’t be trusted. At every opportunity they shout “Death to Israel!” “Death to America!”
Halal Bacon says
Didn’t trick odumbo, he is and was always rooting for islam and the end of the world as we know it
gary says
You are so correct. I needed to be more specific….
The World knew all along giving Iran nuclear capability was a bad move. And more importantly, Obama knew exactly what he was doing. Taqiyya!
….aiding Islam.
Rob says
Quite right.
Jim Conch says
Of course Obama was rooting for them, he is one of them.
Emilie Green says
“Barack Obama was apparently fooled.”
Hardly.
Obama was complicit.
John Marks says
You are correct sir!
rufluc says
What? Obama fooled? (Americas own closet Muslim). Nooooo surely not!
Seriously though, doesn’t anyone in authority in the West with more than half an ounce of intelligence’, realise yet that Muslims quite legitimately can and do lie and deceive if it benefits their cause? It’s clearly written in the Quran!
Haven’t any of these fools read the three stages of Jihad yet, which lays out chapter and verse on how they (Muslims) plan to conquer the world through lies, deceipt and violence? And by also mass breeding their way through our societies and lands, whilst draining our welfare and benefits systems on the way?
They are taking full advantage of our misguided trust, naivity and PC infested mindset, as well as capitulating with the liberal loony leftist fraternity that seem to be totally oblivious to the ever growing threat of Islam in our countries.
It seems to me that like hurricane Irma, which has been the perfect storm that has destroyed the Caribbean, Western liberalism with it’s unbelievable capacity for stupidity, is the perfect storm that will inevitably destroy the West.
We have been fools to have trusted Iran, but what else would you expect when the US had a Muslim at the helm?
Daniel Triplett says
Agreed. Caliph Ohammad wants his Ummah brothers to have nukes.
John Forbes says
RIGHT – OBAMA IS A MUSLIM & HAS HELPED ISLAM WHENEVER POSSIBLE AS WOULD HAVE HILLARY HOWEVER !
NOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIGHT BACK & STOP THIS APPEASEMENT & CAPITULATION ???
TRUMP SEEMS UNABLE TO MOVE !! MCMASTER WORKS AGAINST HIM AT ALL TURNS & TRUMP SEEMS UNABLE TO WORK THINGS OUT ??
Moshe says
These Iranian comments are surely meant only for domestic audiences within Iran, i.e., in relation to internal political or factional struggles. Thus, these comments do not in any way imply that former President Obama was “played” by Iran or that he was naive in trusting that Iran’s religious leadership would honor this historic agreement.
I urge Ms. Douglas-Williams to look at the big picture. A good starting point would be the writings of former National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, who has documented the underlying rationale for the Iran Deal and its broad relationship to peace in the Middle East.
In the coming decade the many fruits of the Iran Deal — unless undermined by President Trump — promise to bring to former Pres. Obama and his two outstanding Secretaries of State (the Hon. Hillary Clinton and the Hon. John Kerry) the coveted Nobel Peace Prize. How uplifting it would be if President Obama should become the first statesmen to receive two such prestigious Prizes! Indeed, far more than the ill-fated British Prime Ministers Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain in the turbulent 1930s, the visionary Obama team has brought peace in our time. Of this there can be no doubt.
We see in Syria and Iraq today the enduring impact of President Obama’s transformational policies, reinforced by the wisdom of Ms. Valerie Jarret’s multicultural insights. All thinking Americans miss their steady leadership.
Surely we live in historic times.

Am sure Israel is extremely concerned. Would like to know what Netanyahu has to say about this.

Walter Sieruk says
Those mullahs and ayatollahs in Iran with their falsehoods and deceptions of the many false doctrines of Islam in which they brainwash the Iranian people in believing is something that is both sad and tragic. Those ayatollahs and mullahs are, no doubt, just as deluded as the people who they thoroughly indoctrinate with false teachings of Islam. Of such demonic deception by false teachers who are also deluded such men a have been predicted in the Bible. For in the Bible it’s written that “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.” Second Timothy 3:13. [K.J.V.] All those mullahs and ayatollahs are, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. false religious teachers .Meaning false teacher s who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others . Such false teachers are described in the Bible ,in Second Peter 2:1. “There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
Therefore, to reply to the many different claims made by the imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam there is the Christian internet site. It’s http://www.answering-islam.org
In addition, it should be make clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being ,as the destruction of well- being . That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.
Terry Gain says
I am not convinced that Obama was tricked. Kerry yes, but Obama always struck me as more Muslim than fool.
Geoffrey Britain says
Kerry wasn’t fooled either, not even in the least.
gravenimage says
Iran boasts that it tricked the world and can now start making nukes

I expected this–I just hadn’t realized that Iran would be so emboldened that they would openly brag about it.
Obama was either a fool or a traitor.
Geoffrey Britain says
Traitor, far beyond any reasonable doubt.

Traitor. Taqiyya at it’s best.
Paul says
He wasn’t a traitor in the slightest. He pretty much accomplished

Charlemagne IV says
who do these idiots think they’re trying to intimidate? This will likely open up for Israel to either infiltrate Iran’s weapons systems via computer hacking or make open preemptive strikes regardless what the UN says (if the UN knew about this, were not dong enough to check Iran’s intentions, or were prohibited by the Iranians from dong so). The Iranian gov has made it public of their desire to kill the US and anyone standing by her side. Aside from the so-called Western “leaders” pad off by Soros, do they expect the West to just stand there and do nothing? If Iran makes any foolish moves with this, they can expect their country to turn to glass overnight.
WPM says
Israel will turn them {Iran} into glass and the Sunnis hypocrites will be jumping for joy in Saudi Arabia ,Islam B.M.A. {Brother My Ass religion} .Soros is an old fool who God will call home to judgement before the big one is dropped.. The UN is about as useful as tits on a bull in the 21 century they are the telegraph key of diplomacy .
Wellington says
Tricking Obama and Kerry was as easy as shooting fish in a barrel, regardless of whether Obama was complicit or not since, either way, the man is a fool for the ages, only the motivation, interesting to be sure for academic reasons but still secondary, being a variable.
davej says
On cannot expect to negotiate with an ideology that openly 1) Wishes your death and 2) endorses a policy of deceit. The “nuclear deal” was just for show, on both sides.

Guy Forester says
Now, who the hell do you think has been paying for the NK missile and Nuke program? This little game between Iran and NK has been going on for at least 25, if not 30 years. The same guy, AQ Khan, that set up Pakistan’s nuclear program has been working with NK and Iran. Why do you think there have been no nuclear tests in Iran? The designs are being worked out and tested in the NK. Now, Iran has the raw materials and just needs to follow the blue print. By using a set of proxies, the PRC and Russia/USSR can stand back and say, “we didn’t do it!”
My best recommendation would be to pull all US everything, especially military out of Turkey. They are now jumping into bed with both Russia and Iran. However, over here the lobbyists and do-gooders would have a fit due to lost contracts.
It would not take long for Turkey, Russia, and Iran to start fighting each other and solve the problem for us. All three of them hate each other and have been battling for centuries to see who is king of the poop pile in that part of the world.
That is my opinion. Turkey is not our friend. Jimmy Carter was a traitor. Send him to Iran to live with the mullahs, he thought they were so nice.
Hari Singh says
See how North Korea is getting away with it nuclear program has no doubt enlivened Iran.
The US response should be nuclear equity for our allies, we should offer to arm South Korea, Japan and Israel [officially] with nuclear weapons.
This would force China to see the benefit of a non-nuclear North Korea in order to keep the nukes out of the hands of their much disposed neighbor Japan.
Acknowledging that Israel now needs nukes for its survival may force Iran to think twice about proceeding. Although I think the Shia apocalypse mentality is strong in Teheran and they feel it’s their duty to destroy the Jews. The Koran says the Jews will suffer before the end.
Chand says
Hari Singh: “The US response should be nuclear equity for our allies, we should offer to arm South Korea, Japan and Israel [officially] with nuclear weapons.
This would force China to see the benefit of a non-nuclear North Korea in order to keep the nukes out of the hands of their much disposed neighbor Japan.”
Fantastic!! Arm every one with nukes! Why not hand out mini nukes to citizens too?!
I’m only half kidding. If you have a nuke I too should have a right to possess one. By that logic, Iran and North Korea have the right to have nukes. Israel already have them.
North Korea won’t listen to China as long as Kim Jong Un reigns. They’ll have to assassinate him first. The Japanese have been reluctant to possess them and I don’t think they will change their minds anytime soon.
Iranian nukes will threaten Israel primarily but I think the Israelis have robust anti-missile shields. A greater threat would be smaller nukes fired from artillery, e.g. from Hezbollah.
But Iranian nukes will pose a bigger and more urgent threat to the Saudis and the Sunni powers in the Gulf with the current Shia-Sunni war.
The biggest threat for everybody is the nukes in Pakistan. Would be a nightmare if they fall into Jihadi hands or sympathizers there.
Chand says
BTW, Saudi Arabia had said that they’d buy nukes from Pakistan the very moment they hear that Iran has nuclear weapons in their possession. Pakistanis, their pet dogs, are apparently ready to ship the nukes whenever asked.
Great! Bring on the Armageddon, the Apocalypse, Qayyamat, The Judgement Day………..
Non-Muslims might not have to fight Jihadism and Islamism much longer. Muslims just might destroy themselves!
Guy Forester says
Chand and Hari: I would be willing to say that KSA already has the Paki nukes. Who do you think paid for them? Pakistan can’t keep a half modern military without someone else paying for it (Us, Russia, or PRC, whichever one is stupid enough to trust them). KSA already bought some short range nuclear capable missiles from china a few years back. I am not convinced that they have been sitting idly waiting to call to Islamabad and ask for a few spare nukes.
Since the DPRK already designed, manufactured, and tested nukes, you can bet that the mullahs already built a few. Now, since they have already tested a DPRK satellite capable missile, they now can build a DPRK tested and designed warhead. As soon as the DPRK has tested a MIRV, the mullahs will build some of those, too. Iran pays for the DPRK program and has for over 20 years.
Chand says
You could be right, Guy Forester.
Sarah says
Barack Obama, fooled? Not a chance. That man is a lot of things, but a low-intelligence dumbo isn’t one of them. Compare him to George Bush Jnr for Pete’s sake… I know who would win that chess game. He knew. He had his own agenda. He had a responsibility to his political ideals, to his preexisting agenda – and he chose to prioritize those ideals and agenda over the safety of the entire human species, when he undertook the actions that he carried out – that have led to Iran announcing this, today.
What he did was pure treason the people of the United States – and it is a war crime committed against the entire species of human beings. All 7+ billion of us.
Let’s run a hypothetical here. Say Iran are actually being honest. That in itself is a contradiction because Muslims with their dishonesty and untrustworthiness go hand in hand when it comes to Muslims promoting their interests. But – let’s say Iran is right and they can now build a nuke. Let’s say they do build a few and one or more of them get flung at an Iranian declared enemy.
It’ll be Israel. I’d rather they nuked Saudi Arabia frankly,if they have to nuke anyone at all, but Israel is the number on target, we all know it. There’s going to be a lot of dead and injured Jews. And a bucket-load of dead and injured Palestinians. (Notice how the ‘plight’ of the Palestinians and their ‘struggle’ is only useful for the rest of the Islamic world when it suits them?) Then, depending on the numbers of warheads and the payload – and the climate factors at the time, the radiation will spread.
When Fukushima went into meltdown in Japan, a radiation cloud reached Darwin in Australia, very quickly. It went on to disperse across the world. The same will happen here if and when Iran nukes Israel.
The entire human species will be breathing in a dose (however small or massive it may be) of radiation. And none of this is even taking into account that if and when Iran do this – America HAS to respond, on behalf of Israel. Which means Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada will also respond as allies. I would’ve included the EU in that list of allies – but I’m no longer certain anymore on where the EU would actually sit in a scenario like this. I do feel confident in saying that Sweden would probably sit back and babble crap about Muslims being peaceful or some such irrelevant white noise.
So – we’d have nukes flying everywhere. And then the other conflicts that are simmering right now, would boil over as certain nutcases take advantage of the discord. You think Kim Jong Un won’t ejaculate with sheer excitement at the news? He’ll be swapping out his dirty knickers for a fresh pair whilst shrieking to his idiot Generals to start sending ICBMs to Guam and Japan and South Korea, stat. Pakistan will peg a couple of their rusty old warheads over at India, who will launch right back at them. Russia will punch a renewed effort into Eastern Europe, Saudi Arabia will try hitting Iran while their backs are turned. African warlords by the hundreds will start slaughtering merrily in a free-for-all. Its just going to all explode in all of our faces.
The entire world would fall into a nuclear flashfire conflict that would snowball unstoppably. Those of us who survive – well, good luck worrying about climate change after this stuff. We’re going to be more worried about cancer tumours and poisoned water supplies and restarting economies etc etc.
And the person who pushed the button that started all of this?
Barack effing Obama.
If he survives it all – he’ll be lynched, ironically I mean that literally. What a legacy, Obama. A Nuclear Holocaust. History will remember him in the same breath as they remember Pol Pot, Hitler, Idi Amin and Ghengis Khan etc.
And all of it – because Obama made the decisions that led to Iran becoming nuclear capable and without suffering an international restraint -all because Obama was happy to disregard the entire human species in his quest to promote his own silly, inconsequential political ideals.
He’ll be remembered, permanently, as a greasy stain on humanity. Because he thought his Leftist agenda was a bigger priority to the lives of 7+ billion human beings and the incredible (if flawed) race, society and overall history that we as a species have developed and achieved thus far.
Here’s hoping that Iran are lying.
Chand says
Sarah says: “It’ll be Israel. I’d rather they nuked Saudi Arabia frankly,if they have to nuke anyone at all, but Israel is the number on target, we all know it.”
Agreed.
But chances are that the Israeli anti missile defences might not let the nukes through. Iran just might nuke Saudi Arabia instead. Can that also start the global calamity you predict? Will the US start a war, coming to Saudi Arabia’s help?
I think Saudi Arabia is the real, default Islamic State. Their Wahhabist propaganda and brain washing is the primary cause of today’s Jihadi mass murders.
underbed cat says
Saudi Arabia is not Islamic by default…..It is mecca, medina, the heart of Islam which follows the Quran100% sharia law…enforced with and hangings, stoning, removal of heads, lashes, mosques ie headquarters, deceit, oil, tons of cash, male sword dances, the largest concentration of the world wide ummah and as the quran is the map of behavior, any non believer is a target. The informed know this, Obama schooled in the Quran knows this, I believe he was not only a muslim but a skilled jihadist that occupied and controlled, staffed and weakened our national security, many may still be there. The learning curve of what Islam really is, was perfectly suppressed by a muslim leader,and centuries of practice right before our eyes. His famous quote, “The future does not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”, and his many chicken comments and collaborations, is really saying that slander is what would cause a muslim stress because it is truth telling and the penalty is wrath….or as they say no future life, to which I say a great smile hides many intentions and is truly cleverly used at times by a appearing friendly quran reader and defense suppressor. Did Obama get fooled by Iran….nope but that was the plan. In my opinion.

It’s the Two Front War.

North Korea assisted Iran’s nuclear development while pursuing nukes itself.
U.S. DoD is burned out, after 16 years in ME, requiring expensive recap, but even then, inadequate for a prolonged two front war.
Democrat military social engineering didn’t help.

There will be no war in Korea.
*
We’re over $20 trillion in debt, living on credit, dependent upon foreign bond holders and Saudi Petro Dollar.
(That’s why Wahhabism will continue in U.S. mosques)
Democrats will relive Viet Nam protest days, supported by our enemies (just like Viet Nam) if we do go to war.
Our gov’t and “people” (whatever that is) are infiltrated far past the point achieved by the Soviets during the Cold War.
Russia, our only point at which to break up BRICS, was ruined by Democrats.

Best thing, is Korean Re-Unification under Chinese hegemony.
That relieves us of one long festering sore and, given the Hong Kong example, South Korea won’t lose much. China respects a cash cow and knows how to handle Kim better than we do.
Regionalism : a large part of Alexander Dugin’s Fourth Political Theory.
The American Empire is in rapid decline.
Liberalism is Dead.
It stinks.
It needs Lime and Dirt shoveled in its Face.
No one really wants it anymore.

We’ve already admitted that we cant’ win in Afghanistan but we’ll continue to fight because we can’t think of anything better to do.
It was a lost war, a long time ago.
Regionalism : let the regional powers deal with it.
We’ve demonstrated clearly that we can’t and no one allies with a loser.

Peter says
To quote the late Yasser Arafat “Remember Hudaybiyyah”. Any non-believer who knew anything about the life of the Prophet would never have signed a treaty with Iran. Muslims simply are not obliged to honor treaties with non-believers. Treaties are only ever truces that provide an opportunity to regain your strength and to buy time in order to re-prosecute your war.
gravenimage says
Yes–Muslims have been signing fake treaties with the Infidels since the days of the “Prophet”. Lying to the Kuffar is *sacralized* in Islam.
WestDivide says
This all goes back to Carter in 1979, I think, and the hostages. Had Carter had anything but peanuts for balls, and glassed Iran then, a good portion of this could have been prevented. But, he didn’t, so we’re left with this surly ayatollah calling the shots.
You can talk all you want about human life and rights, but look at Islam’s history. Oh, we can’t do that, it’d be islamophobia…..How dumb, ignorant, and abetting of the Muslim criminal
West out.
Guy Forester says
Japan and Germany held tens, if not hundreds of thousands of military and civilian prisoners. We bombed the daylights out of them, knowing the risks. We should have taken out every military installation in Iran and Nuked their most holy site. KSA would not have cared as these are heretic shias and definitely not Arabs. Not only did Mr Peanut not have cojones, neither has any president since Truman.
FYI says
What the Iranians don’t know or understand since they follow their anti-Semitic god allah is that any attempt to annihilate Israel WILL result in their own annihilation.
This will not be the work of the Israelis or the Americans.
This will be the work of God Himself;the God of Moses,Elijah and Jesus Christ.
The God of Israel.
And He has made it very clear that He will not permit any nation to overcome His chosen land Israel(Zechariah,Revelations etc)
The Iranian mullahs and military are afflicted by the terrible delusion that they can defeat Israel but GOD has already made it quite clear..
“At that time,I WILL DESTROY ANY NATION that tries to attack Jeruslaem”
zech 12 v 9
Zechariah chapter 14 reveals symbolically what God will do the enemies of His Chosen Land.
Israel exists by God’s permission,not just because it was promised to the Jews but also because it is relevant to the His Judgement of the nations;any attempt by the Iranians to annihilate Israel..WILL RESULT in their own destruction,not at the hands of Israel or Usa but ….by GOD Himself.
The Iranians will huff and they will puff and they blow their OWN house down
Zechariah 14 v 12
“At that time I will restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem.
I will gather the nations and bring them to the Valley Of Judgement.
There I will judge them for all they done to my people.”
Joel 3 v 1-2
The First part has been fulfilled as a necessary prelude to the second part:His Judgement.
Any attempt by the Iranians to attack Israel is to declare war on…God Himself!
Even if you are a secular Jew you cannot deny the fact that the re-establishment of Israel and its existence surrounded by enemies… is fairly miraculous.
It might seem odd that God would actually want Israel protected:but it just so happens that it is God’s Chosen Land and He cannot/will not allow it to be annihilated.
The thing about Biblical Prophecy is that it is God’s way of giving assistance to those who follow Him;The future is already known to God of course.
It is good news and if you are Jewish or Christian then you should be able to figure out what is going on:islam wages war on Jews and Christians,the Iranians talk about annihilating Israel…
Joel 3
Zechariah chpts 12,13,14
Ric says
The one leader Iran did not need to dupe was the former president Obama. This former president was, and remains, an Allie to this Rogue Islamic state. Others, the appeasing leadership, within the Western Democracies chose to retain their mollycoddling or kowtowing to Islam on its usual path. Obama, however, is wholly responsible for handing this Rogue State approval and legitimacy to continue its nuclear program. Now, not unlike the Rogue State, North Korea, the world is faced with two nefarious States bent on holding the world at ransom. The indictment, Obama should be charged with seditionist activity; however, this will never come to pass. Western Governments are rife with those of the same treacherous machination. The U.S., also, has enablers colluding with Obama, along with others affected with the same subversive objective.
