Republicans can’t muster up support to derail Iran nuclear agreement: Analyst
Press TV has interviewed Mark Sleboda, a US Navy veteran and researcher of international relations and security in Moscow, and Lee Kaplan, an investigative journalist from San Francisco, to discuss the American public’s divided views on the recent nuclear conclusion between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries.
Sleboda says there is absolutely no evidence that Iran has been pursuing an active nuclear weapons program, despite claims made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhau, “who has based his credentials” on these accusations.
He goes on to say that no matter how much money Israeli lobbies spend to persuade Washington, it is “extremely unlikely” for the Republicans in Congress to win the backing of the Democrats and form the majority that is needed to reject this agreement.
Even Western nuclear proliferation experts see this agreement as “their dream idea” in terms of the inspections regime and other measures, the analyst says.
What makes Israelis and some Americans worried, he argues, is that this accord boosts Tehran’s safety in the face of the Israeli-American warmongering.
The world, including all major powers, have decided that the Middle East doesn’t need more wars as it is already embroiled in conflicts “every place that the United States has put down its military,” he adds.
Annulling this deal, he says, will render the US and Israel as “rogue nations” who oppose the will of the international community and adopt a warmongering attitude.
Kaplan, for his part, accused Israeli generals and Hollywood actors in favor of the recent agreement, of “not knowing what they are talking about.” Kaplan also called the recent accord a “lousy” and “stupid” deal that was pushed by bureaucrats in the US state department.
