President Donald Trump said Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been “100 percent right” about the risks and dangers and realities of the Iran nuclear deal.
Iran, Trump said, has lied over and over again about its true pursuits of nuclear weapons. And Trump’s administration has found similarly, including the newly appointed Secretary of Defense, Mike Pompeo.
But the European Union’s foreign affairs chief, Federica Mogherini, said Iran’s not currently in violation of any terms of the nuclear agreement.

The question is: Who do you believe — Trump or Mogherini?
From World Israel News:
US President Donald Trump praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s presentation of documents that show Iran has continually lied about its pursuit of nuclear weapons, saying it vindicated his stance against the nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic.
Trump said Monday the presentation made on Monday as well as other recent events show that he has been “100 percent right” about Iran. He clarified that Iran’s behavior is “just not an acceptable situation” and pointed to its missile tests, saying Iran is “not sitting back idly.”
“They’re setting off missiles which they say are for television purposes,” Trump said, “I don’t think so.”
Trump has declined to reveal whether he will withdraw the US from the 2015 nuclear deal, but said that if the US does pull out, he still may negotiate a “real agreement.”
He underscored that the US “got nothing” for the sanctions relief granted Iran under the accord and that it was a “horrible agreement for the United States.”
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Iranian documents obtained by Israel prove that Iran lied about its pursuit of nuclear weapons and that its deception undercuts the international nuclear deal that it signed.
In a statement Monday night, Pompeo said he “personally reviewed many of the Iranian files” and that US experts consider the documents so far to be authentic.
“The documents show that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program for years” while denying it was pursuing such weapons, he stated.
Pompeo stressed that the Iranians lied to the six nations who negotiated the Iran nuclear deal. “What this means is the deal was not constructed on a foundation of good faith or transparency. It was built on Iran’s lies,” he stated.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement that the “information provides new and compelling details about Iran’s efforts to develop missile-deliverable nuclear weapons.”
“These facts are consistent with what the United States has long known: Iran had a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program that it has tried and failed to hide from the world and from its own people,” she stated.“The Iranian regime has shown it will use destructive weapons against its neighbors and others. Iran must never have nuclear weapons,” she declared.
However, the European Union’s (EU) foreign affairs chief, Federica Mogherini, said the newly revealed information does not appear to show Iran is currently violating the 2015 international nuclear agreement.“What I have seen from the first reports is that Prime Minister Netanyahu has not put into question Iran’s compliance” of the deal, Mogherini said.
She insisted it is “first and foremost” the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that must make the assessment as to whether Iran is abiding by the deal. She said that’s because “the IAEA is the only impartial, international organization that is in charge of monitoring Iran’s nuclear commitments.”
Netanyahu said he would share the new information with the IAEA.
Former US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro sided with Mogherini and claimed that Netanyahu did not present any new information that the US was not aware of when it entered the nuclear deal.
Speaking to IDF Radio on Tuesday, Shapiro, a staunch supporter of former President Barack Obama, who signed the nuclear deal, said that Obama was aware of the facts revealed by Netanyahu.
He added that the question of whether the nuclear accord was good or not was not relevant, and that if Trump withdraws from the pact with Iran, “we will be in a new era.”Iran’s state-run media attempted to mock Netanyahu’s presentation. The IRNA agency said Netanyahu is “famous for ridiculous shows.” Fars News dismissed Netanyahu’s speech as a “propaganda show.”

Where was the European Union when six million Jews were being gassed in Auschwitz and Majdanek Concentration and Death Camp?
The European Union foreign affairs chief, Federica Mogherini, knows Iran has been lying and is in violation of the the terms of the nuclear agreement but they don’t care because they know Iran will destroy Israel as it has promised repeatedly.
The European Union does not care about Jews or Israel.
G-d bless Israel and President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Federico Mogherine is dependable. She has openly stated that Islam is a natural part of Europe, read the EU. There is a genuine picture of her and Arafat. She was/is a hard-core communist supporting Islam. She can not be trusted with speaking the truth.

Mogherini is a pro Muslim (both Sunni “Muslim Brotherhood” and Shiite Iran) “progressive” with a strong anti western, communist background.
Her EU position is a tragic reflection to the depths of depravity, post WWII Western Europe has sunk into which is contributing to the fast pending Islamic Doom, that Europe is facing and will probably not be able to overcome, without a major and bloody civil war taking place in major European cities
Dan Shapiro is a modern age Judenrat Kapo, a bold faced Traitor of the Jewish people (most self professed “progressives”, are effectively Antisemitic), a servant of BHO, his *Islamic, Antisemitic master, may ALL of Dan Shapiro’s money be spent to cover medical costs!!!
* BHO may not be technically (on paper / formally) a bona fide / Muslim, even though he is one, by Islamic law (his father was Muslim) but it is abundantly clear that he has a deep affinity / sympathy to Islam / Muslims and Islamic causes
Causes of political Islam have a distinct global dimension (Pushing Shariah law implementation in non Muslim countries with the final ‘messianic’ goal of world domination / a global Caliphate) which are bedrock of the Islamic religion / political system / culture and diametrically go against ALL liberal / Democratic principals that are the bedrock of free, western societies
BHO / Democrats, were and still are public enemies #1 of America / Israel and the rest of the remaining free / Democratic world
The demise of the degenerate left, will be the Salvation of the rest of the world, including the backward, Muslim savages!

Greetings!
The annulment of this so-called “deal” with the worlds greatest global antagonist will be simple and an uneventful termination, excluding the “outrage” by the lethal satanic cabal, leaving a single regret, the inability to recover and retrieve those “pallets of CASH”, the previous administration deceptively squandered.

The deal was a lousy deal…However, we signed it. I think the best that can be done is to enforce the agreement and make sure that it is ammended going forward. The other problem is North Korea. If we sign something we need to stand by it. It is tough to go back on something signed. The other thing that we can do is get Iran out of the business of terror. We can impose sanctions for their actions in Syria,Lebanon and elsewhere. Off the subject. The Iranians have gotta be throwing up given the Israeli heist of Iran’s secrets. The mullah’s have not had a good week.

Even if we signed it, the deal becomes null and void as soon as we learned that it was based on lies.
Now, if it had gone before the U.S. congress, then, had been ratified as a treaty, the process to void it would require congress to vote to annul it.

No we did not. Per Ref 1,
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document. The JCPOA reflects political commitments between Iran, the P5+1 (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, China) and the European Union. As you know, the United States has a long-standing practice of addressing sensitive problems in negotiations that culminate in political commitments.
JCPOA strikes me as a very creative, flexible diplomatic instrument.

The EU does allot of BUSINESS with Iran.
Germany supplies Iran with CHEMICAL weapons.
The EU trades with dangerous MUSLIM countries. Plus a good percentage of their countries are MUSLIMS. The EU is lost.
A German firm’s chemical and biological technology was purchased by Iran and allegedly used against Syrian civilians.
BY BENJAMIN WEINTHAL FEBRUARY 5, 2018 21:24
Germany’s Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control approved a license for a company to sell military applicable technology to Iranian companies that subsequently was used in Syrian regime chemical weapons attacks, reported the German publication Bild on Monday.
The German company Krempel, located near the southern city of Stuttgart, sold electronic press boards to Iranian companies that were used in the production of rockets.
Germany Selling Iran Chemical Weapons Tech, Boosting Anti-Israel Efforts as U.S. Dems Block Trump Ambassador
…
German officials have declined to go along with a bid to crackdown on Tehran’s ballistic missile program, which includes scores of medium-range rockets capable of striking Israel and sparking a regional war.
Recent reports also indicate that Germany is likely selling Iran technology that is being used to help the Syrian regime replenish chemical weapons stocks.
…
“In talks with American negotiators, Germany has made it clear it does not believe Iran’s missiles should be subject to a snap back of sanctions waived by the nuclear deal,” the source disclosed. “Instead, the Germans say the West should simply keep waiving sanctions and offer to negotiate with Iran on its missile program by offering the regime more economic incentives in exchange for JCPOA-like concessions on missiles.”
…
In the latest kerfuffle, Germany has been blocking efforts by Israel to join the United Nations Security Council. Israel’s presence on the council could send a significant international message and help thwart efforts by Arab nations to delegitimize the Jewish state at Turtle Bay.

Trump will come up with the optimal solution based on the constraints he has to deal with. He will leverage what he has. That has been his MO.
Look at DACA. He campaigned on deporting them. He revised that. WHY because our LEGAL immigration system takes in the same uneducated and low skilled people with chain migration for more of them. Perhaps he didn’t know how bad our legal immigration system is. All I can say, is you don’t have ALL the information till you are elected. We don’t want to end up like the EU – open borders and mass immigration!
Our legal immigration system penalizes educated, skilled people. IT is the unskilled and uneducated that is favored by the least desirable countries. By compromising on DACA he was hoping to get our legal immigration system to be based on MERIT to stop the flood of government dependent people. MERIT based screens out the government dependent people and so does ending chain migration. That didn’t go over well with the swamp.
Maybe now, others can understand the BIGGER picture, better through some compromise. There was also a stipulation that DACA recipients would be rejected if they committed additional crimes besides coming here illegally under an unConstitutional policy by Obama. Notice how the swamp had NO resistance to anything Obama did – even DisTrusTed! Where was DisTrusTed on WALL funding????
Speaking of WALL funding, I have no doubt that Trump will shut the government down in Sept. when the next funding fiasco happens.
This is also why VISAS of all varieties are so attractive. They REPLACE legal Americans for the skilled educated positions also for CHEAP wages. A citizenship lottery is totally absurd and he wanted that ended too. The lottery is for people that wouldn’t be able to come here under close scrutiny. Little to no vetting is done with the diversity lottery. Our entire immigration system is a mess and a national security issue.
If Trump, can NOT make progress on these issue, America as we knew it, is finished. We are literally being invaded with undesirable people scamming us. Our courts are over whelmed with asylum claims, deportation and crime committed by illegals. What the left is doing is trying to make Trump be impotent as President. So what ever Trump does is challenged by a LIBERAL judge that stalls it for six months or more as a legitimate Presidential power is being challenged. They want the status quo to continue and the left hopes that these incessant baseless smear jobs will prevent a second term if they can’t get him impeached. If DEMS get the majority in the midterms, Trump’s Presidency is over and so is any hope of restoring American.

“……the question of whether the nuclear accord was good or not was not relevant…….” Huh?
