'Land for Peace' in Israel. Iran 'Blatantly Defies' Key Geneva Pact Commitments

It really is amazing. If we weren't living in an era that is clearly defined as 'the end of the age', where we should appropriately expect to see twisted, upside-down lies and distortions, it would be hard to explain. None of 'the nations' seem to be able to learn from the past. Instead, the past is completely ignored. The obvious is completely ignored. As they say "the only thing we learn from history, is that we don't learn from history'. This especially applies when 'the nations' intentionally ignore history as pertaining to Israel. 

It is all done with the ultimate goal of destroying the Nation of Israel, and the U.S. is leading the charge. 

God is watching and God will make good on his declaration of Genesis 12:3. That is a guarantee. 

Israel Hits Back Twice After Mortar Volley From Gaza

Israeli planes hit Gaza in two separate sorties Thursday morning, hours after Palestinians shot three mortar rounds at IDF troops patrolling near the border fence.

All three shells exploded near the border fence between Israel and the Gaza Strip, in the southern Eshkol region. There were no injuries or damage.

The Israel Defense Forces said it hit a terror cell near Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip just before noon. There were no reports of injuries.

Earlier in the day planes struck a group of people on a three-wheeled vehicle, injuring three, according to Palestinian sources.

The army said it had “intercepted terrorists during their final preparations to launch rockets toward Israel.”

It added that it held the Strip’s Hamas rulers responsible for the attack.

“This ongoing conflict that we are facing on a daily basis cannot be endured by Israeli civilians,” IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said in a statement. ”It is the IDF’s obligation to operate to the best of its abilities to prevent such malicious terroristic intentions from terrorizing Israeli civilians and assaulting IDF soldiers. We will continue in our activities to deter all threats originating from the Gaza Strip.”

Palestinian Mortar Fire On IDF Troops Near Gaza Prompts Israeli Response

Palestinian terrorists fired mortar shells at IDF soldiers on the border between Israel southern Gaza on Thursday morning. In response, the Israel Air Force struck the cell that fired into Israel.

Israeli aircraft attacked a small group of Palestinian militants in the southern Gaza Strip as they were preparing to strike IDF troops near the security fence that separates Israel proper from the coastal enclave, the army said early Thursday morning.

In another 'shocking' development, we see that Iran continues to ignore any agreements struck regarding the Geneva Pact. 

Iran Blatantly Defies Geneva Pact Commitments

Iran’s utilization of advanced IR-2m centrifuges for enriching uranium, in violation of the interim Geneva accord, was presented by the US and the five powers Wednesday, Jan. 8, as the main difficulty in its implementation.  Iran has not even started implementing any part of the Geneva accord it signed last November 24. The follow-up talks this week are not expected to break out of this impasse, any more than the first round did on Dec. 19-20.

This is because the obstacles are far from technical; they arise from Iranian domestic politics.  Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has fenced in President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammed Jawad Zarif with hard-line objectors to the tactics employed till now by the Iranian team, led by Iranian deputy foreign minister Abbas Araqchi. In future, negotiators will be required to refer all the conclusions reached with the powers to the policy-making levels in Tehran for approval and abide by their guidelines.

Using a “senior Western diplomatic source” to paint the centrifuge issue as the main obstacle to progress allowed the three figures running the show – US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy R. Sherman, EU Foreign Policy Coordinator Catherine Ashton, and her deputy Helga Schmidt – to keep the negotiations alive while disregarding the full scale and blatancy of Iran’s misconduct.

Tehran has brazenly informed the negotiating powers that even more advanced centrifuges have been developed and will soon be installed for test-runs.

The Iranians maintain that they are covered in this action by the Geneva clause acknowledging their right to pursue “nuclear research and development.”

The main point of Nabavian’s narrative wasn’t just confirmation that Iran possesses the capacity to produce a nuclear bomb at extremely short notice, but its continued development of ever-faster centrifuges that will dramatically change these figures within a short time and produce a complete arsenal aimed at a single target: Israel

This is not what President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry or Prime Minister Netanyahu wants to hear or bring to general knowledge. The Iranians have no such inhibitions and are making no bones about flouting at least five separate clauses of the nuclear pact they signed in Geneva - plus one:

1.  There has been no suspension or slowdown of 20-percent uranium enrichment.

2.  Uranium enrichment to 3.5- and 5-percent purity continues apace in disregard of the ceiling agreed in Geneva.

3. Advanced IR-2m centrifuges continue to roll off the assembly lines. Making a slight bow to the pact, they are being installed at Fordo and Natanz in individual units, not cascades. The Geneva pact bans their installation in any shape or form.

4. Iran has not stopped preparations for moving up to 60-percent enrichment and is being urged by many voices at home to go up to 80 percent. Iran’s pretext is that this level is necessary to fuel the reactors of the nuclear vessels it is building.

5. There has been no pause in the high-speed construction of the heavy water-plutonium plant at Arak.

6. Neither is there any slowdown at the research and development centers for nuclear weapons. Since the military dimension of Iran’s nuclear program was left unmentioned in the Geneva accord, Tehran is at liberty to continue this pursuit free of international inspection while denying it is taking place.

Iran, Big Power Nuclear Talks Hit Snag On Centrifuge 'Research'

Shocking...Just...shocking. Who would have ever guessed this development? 

Iran is already testing several different new, more efficient centrifuge models at its Natanz research facility, according to the U.N. nuclear watchdog. Iran's statements last month that it was testing a new advanced centrifuge have not made clear whether it is an entirely new model or a modified version of an installed one.

'SERIOUS NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS'

Western diplomats said they were uncomfortable with the idea of Iran pressing ahead with the development of more advanced centrifuges. But Iran says centrifuge research is crucial.

"We have to make sure our right to research and development is respected," a senior Iranian government official said on condition of anonymity.

The research and development would be aimed at improving Iran's existing centrifuge technology so it can enrich better and faster, a prospect Western governments find worrisome.

The Iran Project - America's Enemies Within

Look closely. Once again, George Soros is involved:

It’s no secret that the Obama Administration is against new sanctions for Iran. Obama wants Iran to go nuclear. It’s as simple as that. He is staying true to his Islamic roots and keeping his promise to the Mullahs. It’s all part of his plan to help with the destruction of Israel and America.

Enter The Iran Project. A cabal of pro-Iranian advocates who just happen to be a who’s who of liberal former U.S. officials (i.e. Progressives/Marxists), who are forwarding a new movement (well, they’ve been around sort of since 2002) that is aimed at killing bipartisan legislation once and for all that would increase sanctions against Iran if it violates any part of the brand spanking new nuclear accord (which in itself is a farce). The Iran Project is a shadowy group that has deep ties to Tehran’s top US advocates and they have deep, deep pockets:

They are buying just enough time to let Iran go nuclear, while blaming and labeling the victim, Israel, as a warmonger. The communists are nothing if not predictable. Lest you think this is just a few radical loons pushing this, think again. There is a very large network of pro-Iranian groups pushing to kill sanctions against Iran. I’m sure they’ve all been compensated very nicely by the regime.

It should also not come as a surprise that the primary funding agent behind all of this is the Ploughshares Fund, who is a partner with the Institute for Policy Studies, which in turn is not only connected to Barack Obama, but that old spider, George Soros. You see the players on the board don’t change, just the evil focus of the moment. Ploughshares teamed up with the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) late last year in a lobbying bid meant to stop new sanctions. The Iran Project was started in 2002 by the United Nations Association of the USA and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and became an independent project under the auspices of the non-profit organization Foundation for a Civil Society in 2009. During the past decade the core members of The Iran Project have been Stephen Heintz, William Luers, William Miller, Thomas Pickering, Jim Walsh and Frank Wisner.

This isn’t their first attempt at stopping sanctions and strengthening Iran, but this time, it may just work unfortunately:

“These are many of the same foreign policy experts who opposed the toughest Iran sanctions that got us to this point,” Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) tweeted on Monday.

Others cautioned against taking seriously this latest anti-sanctions lobbying bid.

“This is a group run by people who support Iran, are celebrated by the Iranian media, and are deeply embedded in a network of organizations that have consistently sought to weaken the U.S.’s leverage in attempting to denuclearize Iran,” said one senior official at a Washington-based pro-Israel group.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has also been trying her level best to kill sanctions against Iran:

Wasserman Schultz’s backroom bid to kill the sanctions measure has angered some Democrats on Capitol Hill and in her hometown of South Florida.

“Debbie has been busy at home telling her constituents she is doing all she can to stop Iran, but in reality it appears she is busy behind the scenes working to scuttle bipartisan action to put increased sanctions pressure on Iran,” said one Democrat on Capitol Hill who is closely tracking the Iran debate.

“Every minute she is publicly silent, or working against bipartisan efforts to pressure Iran, is a minute she is siding with the Mullahs over the American people who overwhelmingly want mounting pressure,” said the source, who asked for anonymity.

Make no mistake… The Iran Project and its enablers such as Wasserman Schultz, are America’s enemies within. Americans need to call them out and clean House and Senate in 2014 before someone parks a nuclear weapon on the White House lawn.
