Iran deal makes war more likely and US will be financing both sides

Jerusalem Post:

The nuclear deal with Iran makes another Middle East war more likely, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday.

“Now we’re told that the only alternative to this bad deal is war,” Netanyahu said during a photo opportunity with visiting Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic.

“But the very opposite is true. By strengthening the terrorist state of Iran, this deal makes war not less likely, but more likely.”

The agreement reached with Iran last week “doesn’t prevent war; it will make war – even nuclear war – more likely,” the prime minister said.

Netanyahu’s remarks were at direct odds with comments US President Barack Obama made on Tuesday. Speaking at the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Obama said that with the accord, “we have a chance to resolve the challenge of Iran trying to get a nuclear weapon, peacefully.

Without it, we risk yet another conflict in the Middle East.”

Netanyahu said that the very expectation among Arab states that Iran will become a military nuclear power “will be enough in itself to spark a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, the most volatile region on earth.”

Second, the hundreds of billions of dollars that Iran stands to gain from sanctions relief will go to grease its “terror machine and its war-making machine.

“That’s more Iranian aggression in Iraq, in Syria, in Lebanon, in Libya, in Yemen and elsewhere. That’s more Iranian ballistic missiles, that’s more terrorism from the Revolutionary Guard, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad,” he said.

To try to get Middle East allies to go along with the bad deal the Obama administration is offering more defense related aid at the same time it is handing Iran billions to feed its proxy armies of terrorists.  It is not only a bad deal it is irrational in the extreme.  It makes war more likely and has the US funding both sides.  That is not in anyone's interest other than possible Iran's.
