Iran Deal and Peace in our Time

The author's editorial stance on the just announced Iran deal should be obvious.

Never mind the clauses about inspections and committees and time frames and breakout times. That's just a lot of diplomatic gobbledygook.

What strikes me is the sanctions relief which will happen soon enough and the return of $100 Billion in frozen assets.

With this agreement Iran will become a regional economic power in support of its military power. A renewed economy will thrive. There will be billions in revenue to fun nuclear research, missile research but also naval and air armament, not to mention the regime's support for Hamas and Hezbollah. 

I suspect Iran's nuclear 'breakout time' has been delayed, but only a little. In exchange for that delay Iran has improved its position enormously.

Expect a lot more Iranian meddling in the Middle East and Iraq to fall permanently into the their sphere. 

And watch out for the Saudi bomb.
