How does one deal with terrorism, repeated deception and widespread abuse of justice? If you’re the P5+1, the perverse solution appears to be that one ignores the multiplicity of past violations and simply reinstates past failures. Trusting a partner guilty of all of the above, apparently writing off their persistent violations and rewarding them with a windfall of cash, may sound like a mistake! In the case of the Iranian regime one may be logical in concluding that it may be a mistake with truly awful international consequences.
The Iranian regime’s nuclear ambition has been in existence since the late 80’s, sometimes hindered, but steadily moving forward. Methods towards attaining a nuclear weapon may have varied outwardly depending on the regime’s policy but, covertly, their resolution has remained unchanged and they have consistently driven towards creation of the world’s deadliest weapon. While the regime has been caught red-handed numerous times, their covert, underground facilities were largely discovered not by western inspections, or intelligence, but by the Iranian opposition group National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) with its biggest constituent the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI).
