I saw @DavidTafuri’s sober analysis of the negotiations w #Iran on @FoxNews. Where Netanyahu is right about a deal threatening #Israel is that at this point any deal that allows the regime to enrich uranium is too great a danger. 1/x

We’ve already seen how glacially slow the IAEA is to react to new evidence and how incomplete their picture is about known nuclear sites. We know there are multiple ways the regime has cheated, years before Trump left the deal. Of course Iran will cheat again. 2/x

We’ve already seen Europe decide that almost none of that matters. What they care about is inking trade deals w the regime. #Israel can’t count on them to act when they should. 3/x

For Team Biden and his team of Obama-ites, the #IranDeal is an article of faith, an ideology they believe regardless of evidence. It’s become their religion. It’s dangerous when ppl have staked their careers & reputations on something so flawed that they can’t see reality. 4/x

The time to have made a real deal that works was 2014-15 but Obama et al sacrificed our leverage for an unverifiable deal. It’s now too late to make any deal that may work if #Iran is allowed to enrich uranium on its soil. 5/x

Blinken promised to keep sanctions on #Iran that didn’t pertain to their nuclear program; he’s collapsed on that point. He promised to involve #Israel and our Arab allies who are most impacted by their fantasies about the Islamic Republic; he has shut them out. 6/x

Taking in the rest of the admin policies, we are left to conclude that the deal isn’t about #Iran’s nuclear program—otherwise it adequately address it. Instead, it is a strategic realignment based on disproven fantasies. 7/x

Few things are more dangerous than negotiators who reek of desperation, who believe the US is to blame for our problematic relationship with the regime in Tehran, who act as though they represent #Iran’s interests instead of ours. They will give away far too much. 8/8

All that said, great seeing @DavidTafuri on Fox News.
