HAMMER: BAD TRUMP: Administration Would Be Dead Wrong To Once Again Cave On Iran Nuclear Waivers

Josh Hammer

Sometimes, there are mild caves. Sometimes, there are moderate caves. And sometimes, there are full-on capitulations. This is the latter-most.

By reportedly preparing — yet again — to issue waivers for foreign nations to collaborate in the solidification of Iran’s ostensibly “civil” nuclear program, the Trump administration is now set to fully capitulate to the forces of fundamentalist, genocidal jihadist evil. Deep state lackeys within the infamously anti-Israel/pro-Arabist Foggy Bottom bureaucracy have apparently teamed up with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to deny National Security Advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a signature victory — and, in so doing, have laid the groundwork for the Trump administration to catastrophically walk back its erstwhile hardline anti-waiver rhetoric and embarrass the White House’s counter-jihadism deterrence credibility. The result of the continuation of nuclear waivers for Iran, over a year after the United States “exited” President Obama’s harrowing Iran nuclear deal, is the de facto continuation of that deal for all intents and purposes. That is truly not an exaggeration.
