On September 3, the EU expressed hope that the Iran nuclear deal could be revived “in the coming days,” but then five days later with still no deal, in what appeared to be an act of desperation, Iran dangled a carrot in in the face of the also desperate EU: cheap gas in exchange for a nuke deal. The Iranians reminded the EU that “winter is coming.” As Biden’s team pursued appeasement and handed responsibility for U.S. negotiations with Iran over to Russia and Qatar, Israel worked behind the scenes to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb. It’s no secret that the Islamic regime has lied all along about what it was planning to do with its uranium buildup. Last year, the Wall Street Journal published a dire warning in an article entitled Don’t Count on Iran Stopping at a Nuclear Weapon. The article stated: “If Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, it will use it to threaten and bully its neighbors. Eventually, it could even detonate it against an infidel power.” Jihad Watch has warned for years about the Shia state’s doomsday theology.
Mossad chief David Barnea recently “wrapped up a trip to Washington for high-level talks with US officials as part of Israeli efforts against a restored nuclear deal with Iran.” Barnea announced that Israel “won’t stand by while Iran cheats the world.” And the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has stated that it “cannot assure” the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program since there has been “‘no progress’ in resolving questions about past presence of nuclear material in three undeclared sites.” Now the US has indicated to Israel that a “nuclear deal with Iran off the table for time being.” The reason? The brazen Iranian “demands to halt IAEA probes appear to have derailed talks.” The demand was issued in August, followed by silence from the IAEA.
The UN watchdog now appears to be standing up to Iran, as is, surprisingly, the U.S., thanks in large part to the determined efforts of Israel. The deal is now off the table “and will not be signed in the foreseeable future.”
“Nuclear deal with Iran off the table for time being, US has indicated to Israel,” by Shalom Yerushalmi, Times of Israel, September 7, 2022:
A new nuclear deal between Iran and world powers is off the table and will not be signed in the foreseeable future, The Times of Israel’s Hebrew sister site Zman Yisrael has learned. This is the message that was conveyed to Prime Minister Yair Lapid in his recent conversations with US President Joe Biden and other administration officials.
This emerging outcome of the nuclear negotiations, which would have major international implications, is likely to be touted by Lapid in the coming election campaign, particularly against opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who has repeatedly attacked the premier on the issue.
The potential new nuclear deal was at the center of Israel’s diplomatic and security consultations over the past year, with a concerned Jerusalem tracking the negotiations between Iran and representatives of the world powers in Vienna, as well as the exchange of draft agreements between the sides in recent weeks….
PMK says
The Israelis are saying that Biden admin told them the nuclear deal is off the table but an article posted by Robert Spencer indicates the deal is alive and well. Which is it?
James Lincoln says
So, according to the feature article:
“A new nuclear deal between Iran and world powers is off the table…This is the message that was conveyed to Prime Minister Yair Lapid in his recent conversations with US President Joe Biden…”
Recommendation: Prime Minister Yair Lapid should not believe anything that Joe Biden says.
Sad but true…
Infidel says
Let’s hope that ‘time being’ goes upto January 20th next year, after which hopefully a GOP Congress will ensure that it cannot be pursued
Walter Sieruk says
Just give it time , with Joe Biden posing as a real President that terrible “deal” will be signed.
So, on the topic of Iran that hoax of a deal that Joe Biden that made with that hostile ant-America Islamic tyranny of Iran exposes just how horrendously terribly treasonous Biden actually.
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 calls the Jewish State of Israel “the little Satan.”
Furthermore, they brainwash and then incite the Iranian people to chant, repeatedly “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.

US tells Israel: Nuclear deal with Iran off the table for the time being and will not be signed
……………………………
I *hope* this is true, but am not counting on it. I hope the Israelis are not counting on it, either.
