Centrifuges Already Spinning’: Kerry Implies Iran’s Enrichment Capacity Grew Mostly Under Bush

[Geee]

:

(CNSNews.com) – Secretary of State John Kerry said in a television interview screened Sunday that when President Obama came into office he was “dealt … a hand” of “19,000 [iranian] centrifuges already spinning.”

 

In fact, most of the increase in Iran’s centrifuge numbers occurred under the current administration. And under the just-completed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement, Iran will have the international community’s blessing to keep more centrifuges than it had when Obama entered the White House.

 

In one of a series of interviews taped Friday as part of the administration’s effort to sell the Iran nuclear deal to the American people and Congress, Kerry told CNN’s State of the Union that Iran has “12,000 kilograms of highly-enriched uranium, and that’s enough if they enriched it further for 10 to 12 bombs.” (Iran in fact has 12,000 kg of low-enriched uranium).

Kerry: I’ve Never Heard Of ‘Anytime, Anywhere’ Inspections For Weapons

 

The Obama administration is scrambling to sell its Iran nuclear deal to the American people, but it keeps getting tripped up by its own words. One point that struck a nerve with many people is the fact that Iran can delay inspections of a suspected nuclear site by 24 days, allowing for the removal of any evidence of illicit activity.

On April 7, 2015, President Barack Obama’s National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “under this deal, you will have anywhere, any time 24/7 access as it relates to the nuclear facilities that Iran has.”

 

Now, on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Secretary of State John Kerry said, “This is a term that, honestly, I never heard in the four years that we were negotiating. It was not on the table. There’s no such thing in arms control as any time, anywhere."

Kerry: Major Concessions in Deal Were 'Thrown in as Add-ons' for Iran

 

We'll get to Kerry's Sunday performance momentarily, but first, a glimpse at the public opinion landscape. Given Iran's role as the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism, its fanatical hatred of America, its repugnant anti-Semitism, its rogue weapons programs, its defiance of international laws and norms, its ongoing, destabilizing treachery in the region, its long history of cheating on agreements and flat-out ignoring others, and its continued unjust imprisonment of four American citizens, the American people have every season to view the theocratic regime with deep cynicism and mistrust. As the Obama administration seeks to peddle its abject capitulation of a nuclear "deal" to the public, many voters aren't inclined to trust our so-called peace partners -- a misnomer, given the agreement's total silence on a host of malignant Iranian behaviors. Via Fox News' latest poll:

 

The poll finds 80 percent of voters think Iran cannot be trusted on the issue of nukes. At the same time, 68 percent are concerned the White House has been so eager to get a deal that economic sanctions against Iran are being eased too much. That includes 42 percent who are “very” concerned about Obama’s eagerness to compromise during negotiations. Just over half -- 51 percent -- think the Obama administration hasn’t been aggressive enough in trying to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapons program, including more than a quarter of Democrats (29 percent). Overall, 37 percent of voters say the administration’s actions on Iran have been “about right,” and hardly any -- three percent -- say the White House has been “too aggressive.”
