Another Nuclear Threat? Iran Wants to ‘Teach Americans New Lessons’
Former President Barack Obama and other world leaders created and signed off on what has become known as the “Iran Deal” in 2015. Many people were upset about it.
They felt the U.S. and five other nations were “giving away the store.” The deal provided Iran with ridiculous sums of money to stop its nuclear ambitions.
Those against this deal were skeptical. They believed it would be impossible to keep an eye on the activities of this sponsor of terrorism.
Well, guess what? The world’s attention has been on North Korea and Kim Jong Un’s reckless tests and threats. Meanwhile, Iran has been quietly doing what we all knew it would do. Continuing to try to develop nuclear weapons and hide that fact from inspectors.
A new investigative report by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) says Iran’s nuclear weapons program has not stopped.
Iran Threatens to Send “Some Shocks” Our Way
More on that report in a moment. Recently, President Donald Trump chose to not re-certify the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. (That’s the official name of the “Iran Deal.”)
That means it’s up to Congress to decide how to revise the agreement or place new sanctions on Iran.
Iran has been trying to fly under the radar. But now that the deal they loved so much is in jeopardy, their harsh rhetoric and threats are starting up again.
An Iranian armed forces spokesperson said recently that it might be time to “teach Americans new lessons.”
The spokesperson added that the Trump Administration “needs some shocks to understand the new meaning of power in the world.”
Surprise, Surprise! Iran Still Pursuing Nukes
Back to that report I mentioned. Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office of the NCRI, said this about Iran:
“It has been known for years that Iran has two nuclear programs. One is civilian and the other, the military, has the goal of giving Iran its first nuclear bomb,” he said.
“The civilian sector of the nuclear program has systematically provided a plausible logistical cover for the military sector, and acts as a conduit for it. The military aspect of the program has been and remains at the heart of Iran’s nuclear activities.”
Earlier this year, the NCRI discovered a new military location being used by the Iranian Resistance.
Jafarzadeh added, “The more we investigated, the more we realized that the weaponization program is fully operational. The military sector… has never halted its work. And key figures in the sector have remained unchanged.”
Iran Claims It’s Complying, But Refuses Access
There has been one major problem with trying to make sure Iran follows the deal. And that has been gaining access to their military sites. Iran has refused to allow the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agency, known as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to inspect those sites.
Jafarzadeh says that Iran’s military complexes where nuclear-related activities are conducted have many tunnels and silos.
So, when Iran believes inspectors are getting too close to something they don’t want seen, they run. They move their operations through a tunnel to a different silo.
Jafarzadeh notes how difficult this makes things for inspectors. “This makes pinpointing the exact location of nuclear research and activities more challenging. And reduces the chance of exposure.”
He added this statement. “What is even more troubling is that none of the key nuclear sites situated in military centers have been inspected by the IAEA. Certainly not since the (Iran Deal was completed).”
Is More Evidence Needed?
There is overwhelming evidence that Iran is trying to hide its nuclear ambitions from the world.
But some world leaders and U.S. lawmakers oppose everything Trump tries to do. And claim the IAEA has done a good job of making sure Iran complies with the deal.
The NCRI report does not agree with that claim.
Not one to shy away from a battle of words, Trump piped in about Iran. “Given the regime’s murderous past and present, we should not take lightly its sinister vision for the future,” he said.
What Do You Think?
I don’t know about you, but I’d be pretty nervous living in a world where Iran has nuclear bombs.
Do you think Congress should leave the Iran Deal alone and trust the UN to closely watch Iran?
Do you believe the U.S. should create a different deal imposing strict sanctions on Iran if it doesn’t give inspectors the access they need?
Or do you have a different idea about how we should deal with the nuclear threat from Iran?

I just read the above comments and I truly can’t believe that any of you have ever read the constitution , the bill of rights or the Declaration of Independence ! Our fore fathers never knew of planes trains or automobiles! Talk of Internet would have had you burned at the stake!
Have any of you ever read the Bible? Not just your daily verse, but 5 paragraphs above and below? I doubt it from the conversation.
You dwell in the past with what was and is now over! However you Can’t See the Very Clear and Present Danger to our America! And I suppose many of you wont till you have an iron boot in your balls and a Russian rifle at your head! Then it will be too late to debate . Get your acts together if you truly care about the country you live in. Get your news from more than one place and stop dwelling in the past , the current past! Our president has committed Treason and your not worried about that! You scare me more than Putin !
We need to take America back. ARM our nukes and war ships/planes and once again show the world NOT to mess with us. Obama did everything he could to give our country away and Clinton was selling it. Now we have a President that has a set of you know what and wants to save America. Ever American needs to stand with him. Take the terrorists out. Just my thoughts.
Look at the track record over the last eight year. A person would need to be a fool to think the president of the U S of A was not in bed with them.
Know one had said a word about the drone that our sweet leader had given to Iran. Yes I’m with president Thump. Yes, I believe doing away with the deal isn’t enough, we must go farther.
Some of these comments have to be from liberal snow flake Idiots! Iran is hiding, and moving these nuke sites every time the IAEA comes to inspect! The US, with Allies with balls and. Bomb every suspected military site with hidden nuke programs. First covertly, find them. The only way to end this Obama crap deal.
Considering that the U.S. has a record of being faithless in honoring their end of these agreements and toppling foreign governments as it sees fit, regardless of the regional consequences (see what happened to Gaddafi and Libya), who can blame Iran for seeking to protect itself. The fact that a so-called Christian nation–the U.S.–allies itself with a country ruled by cruel Wahabbi Muslim extremists–the Saudis–where Christian religion is not even legal to practice, whilst doing everything in its power to ruin countries with comparatively moderate governments–Iran, Libya, Syria–who actually protect Christians from ISIS and other Islamic extremists should speak volumes on how confused and ignorant so many people are on this issue.
Barack Obama gave Iran a “gun”. Allowing them to continue hiding their evil nuclear bomb to continue is like giving Iran the “bullets” to threaten America. The program was a mistake (or treason for money more likely) by Obama and H. Clinton ). This prorated needs to be terminated TODAY! The perpetrators of this high crime should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law like everyone else would be
Iran and all muslim leadership have proven time and again that they cannot be trusted and that any “deals” that they make are to gain them time and advantage over the U.S. To trust someone who has repeatedly declared jihad on us, vowed to exterminate us, and time after time lied and broken past agreements is insanity! Our past leadership has engaged in such insanity for all too long to the point that it is probably already far too late to stop the fanatical factions that control Iran from carrying out their long promised threats against us. One day in the not too distant future our great country will be rocked with the realith of nuclear terrorism. May GOD have mercy on us.
The U.S. can not rely on U.N. Due to Obama’s ridiculous poor management & total disregard for those Americans who foolishly believed his promises.
We must maintain our show of both strength & power
First off, it is very evident that sanctions do not work! The underlying problem is that most of the rest of the world thinks that the US is a “paper tiger”. This is because the US has an enormous debt (that is probably in excess of 200 million dollars when unfunded liabilities are counted). In addition, because of the way that the US toppled leaders that wanted to convert their economies to a gold base instead of a US dollar based, As a result, we are no trusted by the rest of the world. Hence, many countries want to have nuclear weapons to defend against what they perceive as potential threats from the US. Therefore, it doesn’t really make any difference what the US does about the ‘Iran Deal’ because the rest of the signers to the deal won’t follow the US.
The deal Obama made with Iran proved to me that Obama never had the best interest of our country in mind It wasn’t my deal nor most Americans and should not be defended by Congress but since when does Congress care two hoots what the citizens of this country want?
Iran is one of the three most dangerous countries to the United States, in the world. Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran guarantees they will have nuclear weapons sooner rather than later. We need an anti missle shield soon. However, they may try a suitcase bomb rather than a missle based bomb if they think that might have a better chance of reaching us.
It was insane to make a deal with Iran that didn’t include random, free access for inspectors.
Agreed, Larry!
The Iran deal was one of Obama and Kerry’s biggest betrayals of the American people. It made no sense then and even less sese now.
Scare tactics, that’s all this is. Iran has at least 24 military bases surrounding it (Mostly ours). Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons and here the Mainstream media is trying to scare us into thinking Iran is the problem. The same can be said of North Korea with Russia and China on their northern border. Come-on folks. Can you see??? The bankers want war.
Obama has been a terrist thru his admin. By making this deal with Iran proves it. Billions of dollars given to Iran and a free hand to build what they want.
NUC them first A threat is a threat.
Only an idiot would let a terrorist supporter Police themselves.
I believe the Iran deal should stay as is. It is working to contain Iran’s nuclear aspirations.
I feel that the Iran Deal needs to be completely renegotiated and stronger sactions and and restrictions imposed on Iran.
I think the Iran Deal should be discarded! We do not need a Nuclear [email protected]!!
Let the CIA destroy all Iranian silos. Thats why we have the CIA. Cant afford fighting off nukes from korea and Iran.
I think this Iranian deal sucked from the get go. It is certainly been a one sided deal and that is on the side of Iran. They have not complied with the terms and never will they want to go nuclear and in the hands of these medmen that would literally be the end of the world.
Cancel that POS!!!
The middle eastern powers have not had stability for decades and they never will. Why provide millions of dollars of “free money” to them for something we , and they , know they will never honor?? Cut off the monetary aid now. Spend that same amount on feeding America.
I don’t believe Iran is or ever has been honest about anything. Our past president put the USA and all citizens in terrible shape and helped them.
Follow Trump’s lead !
Get out of a BAD deal!
The Obamanites and Clintinites were working for THEIR own agenda: giving the USA AWAY!
Stop them NOW!
President Trump should work with Congress to completely overturn and reverse the wreckless ill-advised and extremely dangerous Iran nuclear deal.
We should leave the Iran deal alone to show we keep our promises. Also, it has been working.
Love what Trump is trying to do, but with the worthless communist DEMs and Reps in office now I’m Afraid USA doesn’t stand a chance. Why we give Iran the time for day much less money I’ll never know. God bless America , cause the government won’t. PS I’ll vote for Trump again
they must be made to comply
Iran wants to ‘teach us a lesson’? We already know how to make green glowing glass!
I think that MY President Trump should be allowed to put restraint on IrRAN, and any Democrat that opposes it, for that matter any Republicannthat opposes it. Should take a seat and be QUIET. Because I don’t think they will face the music, but us little people will.
“Leopards do not change their spots”
The sooner everyone learned this no matter in politics, business, family or social situations it is true.
Iran wants nuclear weapons and will do anything to get them. Wakeup everyone. If I was Trump I would try to get all the existing nuclear powers to agree we should have no more nuclear nations and just let the world nations know this in unity.
If not we do what we have to do to prevent it especially with rogue nations like Iran and Korea
If Congress is still for the deal, you can bet someone is paying their greedy crooked asses off. They would sell there mother if they thought they could profit a nickel
We need to get out of the IRAN NUKE DEAL and stop imports from Iran and stop Exports to Iran and stop board and search every ship headed to or from Iran and if found carrying prohibited items either confiscate the ship or remove all crew and sink said ship.
I agree with President Trump 100%
I would vote to blow their a**a* away if they don’t comply. we are through playing patty cake with them and whatever falls to them is their own fault.
Think if inspectors are not allow to inspect then sanctions should be put into place. Inspections should not be announced!
The old saying; “Fear not the storm that keeps you awake, but fear the calm that puts you to sleep”. That’s what is in play here.
There is not much the U.S. can do. Europe will not join the U.S. because it needs Iranian oil. At the end of the treaty period, if what some believe is true and Iran has a bomb, it will be back to international tough sanctions. Like N. Korea, it sounds like Iran’s secret military work is underground in mountains and even powerful conventional bombs and possibly nuclear bombs are not going to reach those buried installations. A ground war invasion would never be supported here or abroad.
Iran Deal should be null & void.
We should turn the entire region into beaded glass.
The U.N. is useless. They’ll get in session and take turns badmouthing the U.S. then send us the bill. We already pay as much as any ten other members. And we’ll know when Iran has a working bomb because they’ll drop it on Israel.
The only thing they understand is power and strength. . It will likely cause war, but they are going to do that anyway. I’m sure President Trump will be blamed for it !!!
The only thing they understand is strength and power. Because of the last 30 years ,they see us as weak. It could likely bring war, but they intend to do that anyway. I’m sure President Trump will be blamed !!!!
NO-congress needs to show the American people that we all need to obey the laws and what obama did was a behind closed doors and gutter type deal. We DON’T DO THAT HERE IN AMERICA AND WE ARE NOT FINDING OUT WHAT THAT DEAL WAS ALL ABOUT AND IT STUNK TO HIGH HEAVEN. It was against all our rules of law and order.
Get out of the Iran deal completely. They are terrorists and liars.
