New in PJ Media:
As I pointed out on Friday, Old Joe Biden’s handlers, in yet another of their endless series of decisions that could easily have catastrophic consequences for ordinary Americans, has turned over the leadership of the Iran nuke deal negotiations in Vienna to a Russian diplomat, Mikhail Ulyanov. What assurance do the blinkered Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his hopelessly America-Last subordinates have that Ulyanov (who, incidentally, shares a name with none other than Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, whose original surname was Ulyanov) will fight for the best interests of the United States? None, of course. And now Mikhail Ulyanov has explained, in a video that surfaced on Twitter Sunday, that the deal is shaping up to be terrific — for the Islamic Republic of Iran and the People’s Republic of China.
Ulyanov said admiringly that “Iranian clerics are fighting for Iranian nuclear – uh, national interests like lions. Indeed, I’m very serious. They fight for every comma, every word, and as a rule quite successfully. I must recognize that.” So the Iranians have for the most part been successful in shaping the deal the way they want it.
How bad is it that the Iranians have gotten what they wanted? It could be unimaginably bad. They’re not haggling over the price of a used car in Vienna. The stakes in this are extremely high here. The Washington Free Beacon reported in mid-December that “an Iranian government-controlled Twitter account posted an image of Israel constructed of matches and included the warning, ‘Just try and you will see.’ The message, also written in Hebrew, is a warning to Israel that if it attempts any attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, the hardline regime will start a war. The pack of matches included in the image states, ‘ballistic matchbook,’ an indication that Iran will use its enormous stockpile of advanced long-range missiles to target sites across Israel.”
Even if Israel doesn’t strike Iran, the Islamic Republic has the Jewish state in its crosshairs. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted in 2015: “After negotiations, in Zionist regime they said they had no more concern about Iran for next 25 years; I’d say: Firstly, you will not see next 25 years; God willing, there will be nothing as Zionist regime by next 25 years. Secondly, until then, struggling, heroic and jihadi morale will leave no moment of serenity for Zionists.” During Quds Day rallies, as Iranians nationwide chanted “Death to Israel,” officials declared that destroying Israel was “the Muslim world’s top priority.” In Nov. 2021, Brig.-Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, the spokesman for Iran’s armed forces, boasted: “We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter. We want to destroy Zionism in the world.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

How do they intend to keep the radioactive fallout from drifting all across Iran? That might be of more importance than whether a comma is in the right or wrong place … not to mention that Israel may fire off a few nukes of their own if attacked.
Andrew Blackadder says
You are thinking logically, Iran does not have the word ”logic” in their capacity to think.
WPM says
The Iranian leadership would gladly end the world for everyone including themselves if it would bring about the downfall of the west big Satan (America) and little Satan (Israel).There is no logic in Islam ,as bad as China and Russia are ,Iran is willing to try to use them to bring about the end of the world in my humble opinion. Nuclear war and fallout and the end of any civilization be it Chinas communist ,or Russian ,or American ,or other Asian countries or European countries would be jihad to them .America and Israel are on the top on the list ,but everyone else is on the list they just do not know or knowledge it.

This President is out to wipe the United States of America of the map. Thank You to all of those who voted for this train wreck of an administration.
OLD GUY says
You can’t negotiate with mad men or the insane. While Russia and America may reach agreements on paper the actual out comes are often different with Russia or these other dictators doing what ever they want with no recourse.

On the topic of Iran Joe Biden exposes just who horrendously terrible he really is.
For Biden is either an incompetent feeble -minded fool or a traitorous treasonous villain.
Which even the case with him, Biden by giving away everything to those tyrants of that Islamic regime of Iran who such spiteful enemies of the United States that they publicly refer to her as “the Great Satan” and likewise brainwash and then incite the Iranian people to chant, over and over again “Death to America” reveals much about the sinister and insidious character of subversive creepy old Joe.
Therefore Biden by appeasing supporting and further upholding that anti-American vicious and hostile “mullah regime” has to be a very evil, un-American very despicable and dangerous man.
Walter Sieruk says
That horrible old fool, Joe Biden, wrapped up nuclear negotiations with Tehran, Israel is gearing up for a spectacularly bad Iran deal.
The government authorities of the State of Israel are wise if they to gear up their military power to prepare a vicious and hostile attempted missile strike Islamic Iran against that Jewish nation.
Even a first strike by the Israeli air force on nuclear weapons program, sites is appropriate because the authorities of the government well understand the malice -filled violent and aggressive intentions of those in power in that “mullah regime” of Iran.
In other words, a first strike at such site is important and necessary for the State of Israel in self-defense.
As the former US President, James Monroe had, rightly, declared “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”

Negotiator Says Two Countries Will Benefit From Biden’s New Nuke Deal with Iran — Neither of Them Are the U.S.
…………..
So this nuke deal will benefit Iran and China–both *enemies* of ours. It will no doubt also bring presige to Russia, which is now violently invading Ukraine.
It also will not help our ally Israel, which Iran is vowing to wipe off the map.
Let’s Go Brandon!
