Obama Inc. Wants Iran to Hide its Missile Tests from Americans
May 17, 2016
At what point does this kind of collaboration with enemies of the United States against Americans become treason?
And that's always been the sticking point.
Obama never had any intention of stopping Iran's nuclear weapons program. But he wanted to appear to be doing so. Iran doesn't want to even appear to be compromising. It wants to continue humiliating America. And there's only so much that Ben Rhodes and his pet reporters can do to spin that away. Asking Iran to stop being so obnoxious about it is the typically pathetic and futile response.
A senior Iranian military commander claimed that U.S. officials are quietly encouraging the Islamic Republic to keep its illicit ballistic missile tests a secret so as not to raise concerns in the region, according to Persian language comments.While there's no particular reason to trust the IRGC, which despite Obama's attempts to block their classification as such, is a terrorist group, it seems reasonably plausible enough. If Hajizadeh had just wanted to do some boasting, he could have made up something better. On the other hand asking Iran to keep its weapons program on the down low would be Obama's way of maintaining the illusion that his deal is anything other than a complete fraud that Iran is openly defying.
Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace and Missile Force, said in recent remarks that the Obama administration does not want Iran to publicize its ongoing missile tests, which have raised questions about the Islamic Republic’s commitment to last summer’s comprehensive nuclear agreement.
“At this time, the Americans are telling [us]: ‘Don’t talk about missile affairs, and if you conduct a test or maneuver, don’t mention it,’” Hajizadeh was quoted as saying during a recent Persian-language speech that was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
And that's always been the sticking point.
