A Quick Gloat on Iran "Deal"
The DiploMad 2.0 by noreply@blogger.com (DiploMad)
This humble blog's five or six readers will recall that I labelled the "historic" nuclear deal with Iran as fake ( here, here, here, and here, for example) and predicted that Obama would call it a treaty when convenient and a Joint Plan of Action, or something else, when not. I specifically called for somebody to show us the signatures on the "treaty." I strongly suspected there was no signature.
Go ahead, check my comments on this "deal." I'll wait for you right here.
I now refer to you this article in the Daily Mail which reports that,
The Obama administration has disclosed to Congress that this summer's controversial nuclear arms agreement with Iran was never signed and is not legally binding, according to a new report this week. The State Department made the disclosures in a letter to Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo, a Republican, who had written the department to inquire why the agreement as submitted to Congress in July did not bear the signature of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. 'The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document,' Julia Frifield, an assistant secretary for legislative affairs wrote Pompeo last Thursday.
How about that? Who coulda seen that coming . . . I mean besides this little blog, of course.
Just thought you might want to know . . .
