US Senators warn against making nuclear concessions to Iranian regime

A group of 31 senators warned Secretary of State John Kerry against making any nuclear concessions to the Iranian regime and expressed grave concern over reports that the Obama administration is considering a deal that would allow the clerical regime nuclear centrifuges to be “disconnected” instead of “dismantled”.

In a letter spearheaded by Sen. Mark Kirk, the senators wrote to Kerry:“We have learned that the United States and its P5+1 negotiating partners may now be offering troubling nuclear concessions to Iran in the hopes of rapidly concluding negotiations for a ‘deal’.”

“Given that a nuclear Iran poses the greatest long-term threat to the security of the United States, Israel, and other allies, we are gravely concerned about the possibility of any new agreement that, in return for further relief of U.S.-led international sanctions, would allow Iran to produce explosive nuclear material.”

In a statement Saturday, Senator Kirk said Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman and her team “are getting desperate, floating these so-called ‘creative solutions’ to hide the fact that they haven’t gotten Iran to agree to a single irreversible step to eliminate Iran’s nuclear weapons capability.”

The New York Times reported on September 19, 2014: “… -Mixing face-saving diplomacy and innovative technology, (U.S.) negotiators are attempting a new approach, suggesting that the Iranians call in a plumber. The idea is to convince the Iranians to take away many of the pipes that connect their nuclear centrifuges, the giant machines that are connected together in a maze that allows uranium fuel to move from one machine to another, getting enriched along the way. That way, the Iranians could claim they have not given in to Western demands that they eliminate all but a token number of their 19,000 machines.”

The Iranian Resistance said in a statement on Sunday: “If there is validity in the report, this is a dangerous and unnecessary concession to the religious fascism ruling Iran – and if it is carried out under any pretext, it would keep open the path for the mullahs’ deception and continuation of the project to obtain nuclear weapons.”

” It is not a coincidence that, according to Reuters, the mullahs have claimed that the regime’s cooperation against ISIL is contingent upon the West’s flexibility on the nuclear issue,” the statement added.

NCRI said: “The proven experience of the past three decades is that any concession offered to the mullahs only leads to the clerical regime demanding more concessions. The clerical regime is intent on exploiting the appeasement by the Western countries and, by resorting to deception, kill two birds with one stone. By taking part in the campaign against ISIL, Tehran wants to compensate for the loss of its hand-picked minister in Iraq, i.e. Nouri-al-Maliki, and to expand its influence in the region and save its nuclear weapons program.”
