FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Sen. Mark Kirk, who has been a staunch advocate for imposing new sanctions on Iran, said the current deal failed to stop Iran’s nuclear program.
The agreement appears to provide Iran “with billions of dollars in exchange for cosmetic concessions that neither fully freeze nor significantly roll back its nuclear infrastructure,” Kirk said in a statement on Sunday.
Hawkish Senator Lindsey Graham said the deal did not require the dismantling of any existing Iranian nuclear facilities.
“Unless the agreement requires dismantling of the Iranian centrifuges, we really haven’t gained anything,” he tweeted.
Sen. Marco Rubio said the agreement makes “a nuclear Iran more, not less, likely.”
“Iran will likely use this agreement and any that follows that does not require real Iranian concessions to obtain a nuclear weapons capability,” Rubio claimed.
“I intend to work with my colleagues in the Senate to increase sanctions until Iran completely abandons its enrichment and reprocessing capabilities,” he added.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor also said “while I await specific details of the interim agreement, I remain concerned that this deal does not adequately halt Iran’s enrichment capabilities.”
Senator John Cornyn said the Obama administration was trying to distract Americans from the healthcare law.
“Amazing what WH will do to distract attention from O-care,” Cornyn tweeted after the deal was announced.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry responded to the criticisms against the Obama administration over the nuclear agreement.
“Gee, you mean the members of the other party are criticizing the president? I can’t imagine that,” he told reporters.
President Obama welcomed the historic deal as “an important first step toward a comprehensive solution.”
Senior Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been hard at work in recent weeks trying to discredit Washington’s strategy with Tehran.
The aggressive lobbying campaign included one-on-one briefings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill which provided data that strayed from official US assessments of Iran’s nuclear program.
Netanyahu had warned that a diplomatic deal with Tehran would be “a historic blunder.”
