Kissinger Slams Obama for Conceding to Iranian 'Nuclear Arsenal'

Joining the outpouring of criticism against the Iranian nuclear framework deal announced last week on Tuesday were legendary former US Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George P. Shultz, who warned of the implications of the deal.

In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, the two veteran diplomats wrote that "debate regarding technical details of the deal has thus far inhibited the soul-searching necessary regarding its deeper implications."

"For 20 years, three presidents of both major parties proclaimed that an Iranian nuclear weapon was contrary to American and global interests - and that they were prepared to use force to prevent it. Yet negotiations that began 12 years ago as an international effort to prevent an Iranian capability to develop a nuclear arsenal are ending with an agreement that concedes this very capability, albeit short of its full capacity in the first ten years," they wrote.

There is an editorial in The Wall Street Journal co-authored by Kissinger and George P. Schultz, who also held Cabinet level positions.

Ayatollah Khameni says Obama is lying about the deal. For once I agree with the Ayatollah.
