Obama vows no bad deal with Iran: ’This deal will have my name on it’

Obama on deal with Iran: 'Nobody has a bigger personal stake in making sure that it delivers on its promise'

President Obama on Friday promised he would not make a bad deal with Iran in part because he wouldn’t want to bear the shame.
“This deal will have my name on it,” Obama said, “so nobody has a bigger personal stake in making sure that it delivers on its promise.
“I want a good deal,” he said, adding he will only agree to terms that would block all of Iran’s paths to nuclear weapons capability and secure it with rigorous inspections revealing any violations of the agreement.
Despite his optimism over the prospects for talks, Obama said that he isn’t guaranteeing a deal will be reached and that he keeps “all options” open for deterring Iran from building a nuclear weapon – a veiled reference to the possibility of airstrikes.
Republican critics voice skepticism about the outcome of the talks. As lawmakers passed a measure giving Congress the right to review and reject any deal with Iran, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said the goal was to stop a bad agreement, especially if it could “strengthen and legitimize the government of Iran.”
In his remarks Friday, Obama insisted that any success in the nuclear talks will not erase U.S. concerns about other Iranian activity, especially its support for terrorism, moves to de-stabilize the region and threats against Israel.
President supports a two-state solution, for two people living side-by-side in peace and security, “precisely because I care so much about the state of Israel,” he said.

NCRI’s Women's Committee calls for immediate release of #NargesMohammadi

NCRI - Ms. Narges Mohammadi, a human rights activist, has gone on hunger strike since Monday May 18, to protest the denial of access to medical treatment and drugs she needs. Denial of the drugs that she should be using on a daily basis according to the prescribing physician, has deteriorated her health. Yesterday her heart beat and fluctuation was to the point that her cellmates took her to Evin prison clinic six times, but the henchmen continue to decline to deliver her essential drugs.

Khamenei opposes inspections of military sites and interviews with nuclear experts

Implementation of UN resolutions and unrestricted inspections are preconditions for lifting sanctions

Recent remarks by Iranian supreme leader Khamenei once again revealed his intention to acquire the nuclear bomb and demonstrated that absent a firm approach on part of the international community and in particular the United States, this regime will do its outmost effort to use the negotiations to advance its nuclear projects.

In his remarks on 20 May Khamenei stated: “We shall not allow any military site to be inspected by foreigners. They say that they should come and interview our scientists — meaning to interrogate them. We shall not allow the slightest insult towards our nuclear scientists or our scientists in any sensitive area. I shall not allow foreigners to come here and sit down and talk with our scientists, with the prominent and beloved children of the Iranian nation who have brought this immense science this far… The shameless and arrogant adversary expects the path to be opened for them to come and speak with our scientists, our professors, our scholars… such permission shall never be given. The only way to confront the hideous enemy is through our unwavering determination and impassiveness…”

Khamenei’s enormous fear of inspection of the military sites and interviewing his nuclear scientists more than anything demonstrates his resolve to continue with deceptions and clandestine work in order to acquire the nuclear bomb. Otherwise, if his regime were not after the bomb or if it had ceased such attempts, there would be no reason for such huge concern.

Given the experience of the past three decades that has proven the Iranian regime untrustworthy, we emphasise that extending this regime’s breakaway time for another 6 to 9 months will solve no problem whatsoever. The sole solution lies in enforcing the UN Security Council resolutions, putting a definite end to regime’s uranium enrichment, and dissolving its nuclear sites. In addition, the Iranian regime should:

Present to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) all warranted clarifications regarding the possible military dimensions (PMD) of its nuclear program;
Disclose to the IAEA a list of all of its nuclear experts and its networks involved in smuggling nuclear equipment so that they could be interviewed and investigated;
Sign the Additional Protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and accept unnoticed inspections at any time and any site, military or civilian.
Until implementation of the above mentioned points, no sanctions against Iran should be lifted, otherwise all the income derived from lifting the sanctions will be spent on purchase of weapons and equipment for military nuclear projects.
