Whose side is Obama on? The #IranDeal could even mean "sharing intelligence on Israeli operations" with Iran



Now turn to the text of the deal. Annex three's section on "nuclear security" on Page 142 pledges that the U.S. will "strengthen Iran's ability to protect against, and respond to, nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems."

While this is supposed to happen "through training and workshops," the clause about enabling "effective and sustainable nuclear security" could conceivably mean direct military aid to Iran against Israeli attack.

And anyway, who other than Israel would be undertaking "nuclear security threats, including sabotage" against Iran?

In July, the Center for Security Policy's IranTruth.org warned that this section of the agreement apparently commits the U.S. "to help Iran develop capacities to prevent things like the STUXNET worm," the computer attack five years ago that dealt Iran's nuclear program a significant setback.

The U.S. giving Tehran secrets about computer worm design "would mean entrusting extremely sensitive data to Iran — a nation that has weaponized, for distribution to terrorist groups, every technology it has thus far obtained," the center argues. It might also mean "training Iranian commandos ... the last line of defense for Iranian nuclear security," which is "unwise, given Iran's decades-long history of murdering Americans."
