Asia backs Iran deal, Kerry says A-Bomb anniversary relevant

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — The 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and five of their large neighbors endorsed the nuclear deal negotiated between Iran and six world powers, as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday's 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing highlighted the importance of the accord in preventing the spread of atomic weapons.

In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of the ASEAN countries along with Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea welcomed the deal with Iran struck last month as an "important resolution" that could resolve one of the world's most pressing concerns if it is adhered to. The statement was issued on the final day of a Southeast Asian regional security forum in Malaysia.

they only back it because they know Iran will get nukes and they will use them on us first, I bet Russia loves this deal also.

"...COULD resolve one of the world's most pressing concerns IF it is adhered to."

Key words could and if, of course that will never happen.

Kerry should invite his son-in-law to see what an Atomic Bomb will do, and then be a real American and tell him to go back to Iran and tell them "Daddy in-law says this is what they will do to us if we don't stop". But it won't happen because no one in Washington has any Ba**s. Trump will nuke them though!
