Iran: the first anniversary of the Iran nuclear agreement

Another Path in Iran -  Sir David Amess MP


By David Amess

All of this political action and commentary raises a very basic question about the current state of Iranian-Western relations: What is the motivation behind this policy of appeasement on the nuclear deal and its implementation?
Perhaps the simplest answer is that policymakers actually believe the deal will stall Iran's progress toward a nuclear weapon. Yet that belief seems highly dubious, since much of the recent criticism has emphasized a lack of transparency in International Atomic Energy Agency inspections and ongoing uncertainty of Iran's baseline nuclear knowledge. Yet what is more important is that even if the nuclear issue has been resolved foras much as 10 years, as its advocates tend to claim, that does not change the fact that Iran's behavior in other areas has gotten worse to compensate.

This has been demonstrated by the escalating rate of executions in the Islamic Republic, along with the recent spate of arrests of artists, writers and dual-nationals, and by Tehran's persistent refusal to compromise over support of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, or to limit the Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian paramilitary role in conflict areas like Yemen and Iraq.
These factors and many others, which were all highlighted in the speech of the National Council of Resistance of Iran President-elect Maryam Rajavi at the July 9 rally, rule out the rationale behind the nuclear agreement. It cannot be true that the Obama administration and its allies actually believe in the moderation narrative they put forward as justification for the 
nuclear agreement.
In my opinion: The Iranian regime's top export has always been terrorism, it is an integral part of its ideology! And this regime the main cause of instability in the Middle East and world.
