"It's official: on October 10, Iran tested an Emad ballistic missile that can carry a nuclear warhead.
A panel of experts commissioned by the UN Security Councilreported that the launch violated Security Council Resolution 1929, which says "Iran shall not undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons..."Iran is also known to have tested yet another nuclear-capable missile on November 21.
That's one development on the Iran front -- continuing to develop potential nuke-carrying missiles in blatant breach of U.N. resolutions.
And the other development is that the board of directors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has voted to close the books on ten years of Iran's illegal nuclear-weapons work, thereby helping open the path -- as the Obama administration and its allies devoutly hope -- to the lifting of sanctions on Iran in January.
The IAEA's board of directors gave Iran a clean bill of health even though, earlier this month, the agency's own investigators released a report that in no way confirmed that Iran hadn't already been working on nuclear weapons or had stopped working on them.
...Why are Obama and his allies so gung-ho to get the deal moving, and the sanctions lifted, at any conceivable price?
One answer lies in Obama's overall policy on Iran, which, from the beginning, can be termed sinister -- from his refusal to help the domestic protest that erupted after Iran's fraudulent June 2009 elections; to his heavy pressure on Israel not to attack Iran despite a steady stream of threats to annihilate Israel from Iran's leaders; to his staunch refusal to enact sanctions until forced to do so by Congress; to his July 14, 2015, nuke deal that is full of holes and includes ludicrous terms of enforcement; to his current blithe acceptance of Iran's ongoing human rights abuses, openly expressed hatred and aggression toward America, and nuclear-related testing.
And for the other answer, you have to follow the money..."
