GOP lawmakers and public want to know what's going on with Iran negotiations

The look one gets trying to recall what it was one was trying to recall

Republicans in Congress and people who follow current events are upset with the so-called Biden administration and their secret diplomacy with Iran that is keeping the American public in the dark about what concessions we will grant to the world's largest sponsor of terrorism.

It appears that negotiations are concluding soon as Iran is now demanding that U.S. sanctions be lifted so that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) may pursue their ambitions to destroy the U.S. and Israel. The GOP simply wants to know what's going on and are asking to be briefed on the current state of negotiations.

[H/T The Washington Free Beacon]

A group of Republican lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees wrote in a letter sent on Wednesday to the White House and obtained exclusively by the Free Beacon:

"With uncertainty surrounding the status of the negotiation, the American people have a right to know what their diplomats agreed to in Vienna, what alternatives your administration is considering, and how you intend to address the wider range of threats from Iran—including its increasingly dangerous missile and drone programs and taking American hostages." 

Republican Reps. Ronny Jackson (TX), Don Bacon (NE), María Elvira Salazar (FL), Greg Steube (FL), and Claudia Tenney (NY) are at the Party's forefront demanding to know what's going on and say that it's unacceptable that this administration is ready to make a deal that is even weaker than the original 2015 accord starring John Kerry with James Taylor on the guitar.

Even after more than a year of talks, the Biden administration has refused to brief Congress in an open setting, which lends to the thought that this deal will be worse than making Rachel Levine a Rear Admiral. 

Since negotiations began last year, after the Trump administration's 2018 withdrawal from the nuclear deal, Iran has been behind scores of terror attacks on U.S. outposts, citizens, and allies in the region. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is considering lifting the U.S. terror designation on the IRGC, which is responsible for many of these attacks and has killed hundreds of Americans because he doesn't want to ruin his record of being wrong on every foreign issue that he ever encountered.

It's also obvious that the Biden administration stopped enforcing sanctions on Iran's oil exports, which allows them to collect billions of dollars in revenue and do what they enjoy most: killing infidels.

As far as hearing go, U.S.-Iran envoy Robert Malley only agrees to hold classified briefings whereas Obama was confident enough to have open talks with lawmakers and the public, which is why James Taylor sang and played the guitar. 

Not to be outdone by his prior boss, the Biden administration has appointed Nina Jankowicz, another singer-songwriter, to be the head of the new Ministry of Truth. Her new album, "Hip-Hoppin and Boppin' to Mary Poppins" is due to be released before the 2020 midterm elections.

Translating the Buttigieg word salad

Transportation Secretary in absentia, and Alfred E. Newman lookalike, Peter Buttigieg, was asked a question that should have had an obvious answer, but it didn't.

MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, on Wednesday night's "The 11th Hour," asked the gay Transportation Secretary, “Could the president possibly consider authorizing the Keystone XL pipeline, working something out with Iran?” 

His answer seemed to baffle the minds of English speaking Americans:

“Look, the president has said that all options are on the table. But we also need to make sure we’re not galloping after permanent solutions to immediate short-term problems,” the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana said, referring to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the deaths of thousands as a short-term problem. The more important thing for liberals is to make sure the U.S. energy sector stops using dependable energy and instead relies on wind and clear sunny days to generate electricity.

For now, the Biden administration and the idiots who stand behind their solutions have suggested we should defund Russia's energy industry by buying our oil from good ole friendly Iran, a country that openly wishes us, along with Israel, "death," rather than re-opening the Keystone XL Pipeline because of the bad orange man who was responsible for lowering a barrel of oil to around $50.

We know, however, that if we buy our oil from Iran, they will spend the money wisely.

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) on Twitter, blasted Buttigieg’s response as “a word salad of bureaucratic BS. The left wing in Washington is doubling down on energy illiteracy instead of learning more about real energy security solutions.”

What a word salad of bureaucratic BS. The left wing in Washington is doubling down on energy illiteracy instead of learning more about real energy security solutions. https://t.co/qJhBKuOrXb

On Thursday, Ruhle’s MSNBC colleague, the androgynous Chris Hayes, and host[ess?] of “All In” repeated the idea.

Hayes retweeted a message from Ryan Cooper, editor of the leftist magazine The American Prospect, who said, “Iran has 103 million barrels of oil loaded up on tankers and ready to go.” Cooper then tagged President Joe Biden. Hayes amplified the message, adding, “If you’re a) devoted to cutting off Russia’s oil revenues and b) worried about inflation and spiking oil prices, this is one possible solution…”

Cooper later replied to Hayes by saying his plan would see Iran “sticking it to the [U.S.-based] private equity frackers who are raking in fat profits!” Because leftists would rather see America's enemies profit than Americans they envy. 

These were the like-minded A-holes who stood up and chanted "USA. USA," when our brain addled president gave the SOTU on Tuesday. They were quietly mumbling "down with the" before shouting "USA." Anyway, buying oil from enemy nations, oil that we already have here, is a good indication the left hates America.

If you’re a) devoted to cutting off Russia’s oil revenues and b) worried about inflation and spiking oil prices, this is one possible solution… https://t.co/kmgIGFBQs5

— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) March 3, 2022

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded to this lunacy with a tweet of his own:

Actually, giving billions to American-murdering terrorists is a really bad idea. https://t.co/zzUuaHN5wP

— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) March 3, 2022

The left would have the taxpayers purchase oil from Iran while they sit across the table from them and the Russians with the idea of trusting Iranian terrorists to halt production of their nuclear ambitions when they proved they could not be trusted the first time a nuclear deal was being considered.

“Energy security is national security,” said Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) on Fox News this week. “We should be ramping it up here, and ratcheting down on President Putin and Russia, and yet this administration refuses to do that.”

A permanent solution is for us to use fracking and the Keystone XL Pipeline along with fracking for energy independence and end our relying on countries that can hold this over us whenever they want to gain that power.

When it comes to energy independence in the USA, the left takes a knee.

3 Biden negotiators jump ship due to the 'tough guy' being too soft

The face of confusion

Three negotiators on the Biden Build Back Better Bombs team who have tried to get Iran to negotiate, because that's what negotiators do, have left the team because they say Biden might as well have been wearing a pussy hat as he was being too soft on the terrorist nation.

“U.S. officials confirmed over the weekend that Richard [Dick] Nephew, the deputy special envoy for Iran, has left the team. Mr. Nephew, an architect of previous economic sanctions on Iran, had advocated a tougher posture in the current negotiations, and he hasn’t attended the talks in Vienna since early December,” The Wall Street Journal reported. They also said that two other team members, led by State Department Robert [Bobby] Malley also jumped ship because Biden talks tough but is actually as weak as roadkill and slightly less sentient.

The team cannot agree on how strictly existing sanctions should be enforced and at what point should the US walk away from the table. Some so-called "experts" warn that the terrorist nation of Iran is simply trying to prolong talks while they continue to build back a better bomb in their nuclear program.

“The divisions come at a pivotal time, with U.S. and European officials warning that only a few weeks remain to rescue the 2015 deal before Iran acquires the know-how and capability to quickly produce enough nuclear fuel for a bomb,” the report stated. “Under the agreement, the U.S. lifted most international sanctions on Tehran in exchange for strict but temporary limits on Iran’s nuclear work. The Trump administration exited the agreement, seeing it as insufficient to restrain Iran, and the Biden administration is trying to reverse course.”

Trump was correct to leave that crappy deal, which would only delay Iran's intentions of building back a better bomb and using it to destroy Israel and the United States, they think.

Last year, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett implied that his country was ready to move against Iran before it finished making a bigger, better, bomb as it was getting too close to obtaining enough fissile material to finish the job. Israel promised they would keep that from happening.

“Iran’s nuclear weapon program is at a critical point. All red lines have been crossed. Inspections — ignored. All wishful-thinking — proven false,” Bennett said at the anti-Semitic United Nations. “Iran is currently violating the IAEAs safeguard agreements — and it’s getting away with it. They harass inspectors and sabotage their investigations — and they’re getting away with it. They enrich Uranium to the level of 60 percent, which is only one step short of weapons-grade material — and they’re getting away with it.”

Bennett, not necessarily known for repetition, set a personal record in doing so at the UN.

“Evidence which clearly proves Iran’s intentions for nuclear weapons in secret sites in Turquzabad, Teheran & Marivan — is ignored,” he continued. “Iran’s nuclear program has hit a watershed moment. And so has our tolerance.” [But not for Biden.]

“Words do not stop centrifuges from spinning. There are those in the world who seem to view Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons as an inevitable reality, as a done deal, or they’ve just become tired of hearing about it,” Bennett added. “Israel doesn’t have that privilege. We cannot tire. We will not tire. Israel will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.”

What happens from this point on in time is anybody's guess. Hopefully the US midterm elections will result in a GOP butt-kicking and the adults can take back the wheel before the car runs off the road.

Israel says "we are ready to fight" Iran if necessary

Israeli defense minister Benny Gantz told Fox News that although Israel is still working out its plans to defend itself from Iranian aggression, it is ready to fight if it comes down to that necessity.

“This is a target map. Each one of them has been checked legally, operationally, intelligence-wise and we are ready to fight,” Gantz said.

He added that Israel is upgrading contingency plans to strike Iranian targets if Tehran shows signs of nuclear escalation, the latest sign of rising tensions between the two archenemies. Iran's goal is to totally annihilate Israel and all the Jews living there. 

The plans are still being worked on but Gantz assured the network that Israel will be ready and in the interview, showed the map of Lebanon that includes ground forces, missiles and launching sites set up by the militant Hezbollah terrorists, Iran's proxy fighters.

Meanwhile, semi-sentient President Biden is strongly considering rejoining the garbage 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and other world powers. The deal pretends to put limits on Iran in terms of their nuclear program but it's basically a farce. In fact, in the four years in which former President Donald Trump was in office, John Kerry had been secretly communicating with Iran about the crappy deal and will not face consequences for his actions now that Biden is asleep at the wheel.

For his part, Trump got the U.S. out of the crappy atomic accord in 2018 and put maximum pressure via sanctions on Tehran.

Since then, Iran has openly stepped up uranium enrichment but may have been doing it covertly anyway. 

The U.N. nuclear watchdog — the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, which monitors Iran’s nuclear program — said earlier this week that Iran nearly tripled its stockpile of enriched uranium since November in violation of its deal with world powers.

Iran and the Biden administration are deadlocked over how to revive the deal. The Ayatollah is demanding an immediate lifting of the crippling sanctions imposed by Trump, and the Biden people wants the terrorist-backing nation to return to full compliance, which was never a guarantee they ever complied to in the first place.

For his part, President Biden was extremely upset with Iran because they made him miss the Early Bird Special at Applebees and he was about to say something but forgot. 

Israel has wisely and vehemently opposed the crappy nuclear deal, in addition to producing evidence that Iran seeks nuclear weapons, as if nobody knew this already.

Tensions are rising fast between Israel and Iran. Just last week, an Israeli-owned cargo ship, the Helios Ray, was damaged by an explosion of unknown cause in the Gulf of Oman. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said it was Iran who attacked the ship and Iran denied the charge.

Iran denies it is pursuing nuclear weapons, and says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. And if you believe that, you would believe the Nigerian princess is sending you the money she promised in that email. All you have to do is give her your bank account number and wait.

Iran's Ayatollah flips off Biden on nuclear deal talks

Call it whatever you want, but what it amounts to is Iran just flipped off President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., after the European Union offered Iran to hold direct negotiations with the United States on Tehran's nuclear program, [something they had been doing secretly while Trump was in office for the first time] as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The paper cited two unnamed Western diplomats saying the theocratic government rejected the offer to hold talks in the coming days as it wants Biden to pledge to lift some of the sanctions we placed upon the country that wants to destroy us and Israel. 

Biden administration officials "pulled a Trump" by saying that sanctions will not be lifted until Iran returns to compliance with the 2015 international accord limiting its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, which is a crappy deal to begin with, but the deal our brain addled president agreed to reinstall.

The diplomats said there was still hope for resuming nuclear talks despite Iran’s spurning of the EU offer, and suggested that the rejection may be aimed at gaining negotiating leverage, which is easy to do with Biden at the helm.

Israeli and its Arab allies in the region strongly oppose a US return to the deal in its original form because the leadership of Iran is comprised of religious lunatics who want to see Israel and its allies, along with the US, who they call "Great Satan" be destroyed along with every man, woman, child and newborn baby, because Iran are the good guys.

The report came just days after the top EU diplomat supervising the nuclear deal called for a concerted effort to reinvigorate the pact, even as the Islamic Republic reneges on some of its commitments and still holds weekly pep rallies to destroy the US and Israel.

Former President Trump is absolutely correct: the Iran nuclear deal is the worst deal in history.

The deal almost collapsed after the Trump administration unilaterally pulled the US out three years ago, triggering crippling economic sanctions on Iran. 

Britain, France and Germany notably struggled to keep it alive because they are weak and scared of Iran, but they have been heartened by Biden’s willingness to bring the US back in because his brain is the consistency of mushy oatmeal.

Iran, as weak as they are compared to the US, set a deadline and drew a line in the proverbial sand, to lift the US sanctions within three months, after which it said it would erase surveillance footage of its nuclear facilities and refuse to call Biden's wife by her honorific, "Doctor."

Iran has also limited some monitoring of its activities which is meant to help ensure that Tehran’s nuclear work is peaceful. This is being done so as to allow the Islamic Nation of Iran to build a nuclear weapon and leash hell upon the land.

For his part, President Biden has stated that some of his best friends are Shi'a Muslims and he is "confident that the thing that, that, you know what I mean. Look, I'm not kidding."

Iran panel okays bill that will increase enrichment for weaponry

The Iranian "Facial Hair Chorus Line"

An Iranian panel known as the Guardian Council, signed off on a bill that will stop UN inspections and allow them to speed up uranium enrichment designed for use in nuclear warfare. They sent the bill to Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, who opposes the measure.

Rouhani had five working days to officially sign off on the bill to make it executable. However, on Wednesday he expressed his opposition to it and said it would be "harmful" to diplomacy aimed at restoring the 2015 nuclear deal and easing U.S. sanctions.

He's correct. All that Iran has to do is stop enriching uranium and agree to stop their program of nuclear development and the U.S. would relax our sanctions. But the original deal allows Iran to go return to their original nuclear ambitions because the deal was firmed up by idiots like John Kerry and supported by Obama and Biden.

Iran's proposed bill got teeth after their top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated last month. But it also reflects a rivalry between Rouhani and hard-line lawmakers in government majority and favor a more confrontational approach to the Western nonbelievers.

This bill would immediately halt UN inspections and require the government to resume enrichment of uranium to 20% if the EU fails to provide Iran with relief from US sanctions on their oil and banking sectors. 

But if Rouhani goes ahead and approves the bill, it wouldn't much matter since it's Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who has the final say in everything. Rouhani is merely Iran's Prince Charles.

Tuesday’s approval by lawmakers is nothing more than a show of defiance after Fakhrizadeh was killed in an attack Iranian officials have blamed on the Jews, as usual.

John "Hair Plugs" Kerry Loses it When Asked About Iran Deal Funding Terrorists

(Photo: AP/Marchus Schreiber, File)

John Kerry, 76, was the worst Secretary of State in the history of the United States but to know him  when he's out of the public eye, is to know that, as a person, he sucks even more.

He even has the audacity to lecture us on what should be done regarding Iran.

Now the Lurch body-double is trying to spin his and Obama's enormous failure in their dealings with Iran [sending them pallet-loads of cash to bribe them] into a success. They say a schmuck doesn't know he's a schmuck and Kerry is proof of that observation.

Kerry and the Obama administration sent the terrorist country $150 BILLION in cash, and even Kerry had to acknowledge that some of the money would go to terrorists. But like his service in Vietnam, he didn't have to actually deal with any violence associated with the administration's contribution.

President Donald Trump nailed him for it in a tweet:

John Kerry got caught essentially admitting that funds given ridiculously to Iran were used to fund attacks on the USA. Only a complete fool would have given that 150 Billion Dollars Plus to Iran. They then went on a Middle East Rampage! @foxandfriends @PeteHegseth
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

Kerry appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” to spin his bubbling bull crap, but to his great surprise, CBS actually did some journalising and mentioned Trump's tweet. They even brought up the exact issue about the money given over to Iran in 2016 by him and Barack. They tweeted:

@JohnKerry weighs in on @realDonaldTrump’s claims that the Iran Nuclear Deal helped fund terrorist operations: “The president’s tweet is a lie.” WATCH –> pic.twitter.com/4XhkeVqQ8I

— Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) January 12, 2020

He did it knowing and admitting “some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC [Soleimani’s terrorist group] “some of which are labeled terrorists.” The deal specifically released sanctions on Soleimani himself, as well as other IRGC leaders. But basically, heck, it's no big deal. What are a few bullets and bombs amongst friends?

He was completely caught with his bike pants at his ankles as he scrambled and sputtered, “The president’s tweet is a lie” hoping that the audience wouldn't believe their lying eyes and ears. Video rules.

Then the world's worst secretary of state tried to whisk the batter of bull into a frothy cake topping by claiming that  “most of it [the bribe] was going to the economy,” a fact the Iranian people would certainly take issue with, especially the protesters who are on the streets angry that the IRGC got most of the money and the people got the middle finger.

Kerry got nailed by the truth but nothing will come of it. Like Hillary and Bill Clinton, Adam Schiff and the rest of the deep state, they can shoot someone on Broadway and get away with it.

NBC gives Iran platform to trash POTUS and State Dept. fact checks the lies

The Nothing But Crap network [NBC] host Lester Holt went to Tehran this week to interview top Iranian officials and give them the opportunity to paint Iran as the victim of U.S. aggression. Islam has always used the victimhood card to create sympathy for their movement and claiming to have no other choice but to kill the oppressive Jews, or in Iran's case, the Islamophobic Trump regime.

Holt interviewed Ali Shamkhani, military adviser to Supreme Leader and Islamic Dictator for Life, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and secretary of the Supreme National Security Council,who  said it was a mistake for Iran to sign the Obama administration’s 2015 deal since the U.S. pulled out under President Donald Trump. How could Iran know that the next U.S. president would see through them and annul the deal?

Of course, the truth is, it was a mistake for the United States under Obama to sign such a garbage deal in the first place. The deal prevented inspectors from visiting military sites, forced inspectors to give a 30-day notice of inspections, and there was a sunset clause that allowed Iran after 10 to 15 years to go back and expand its nuclear program. And if you don't believe they would do just that, you're probably one of those naive college kids who go camping in Morocco.

NBC's Holt also allowed Shamkhani to claim that Iran was a stabilizing force in the Middle East, rather than a source of terrorism because he was too terrified by the terrorists to call them out for their terrorism. The U.S. State Department still lists Iran as one of the leading state-sponsors of terrorism.

Shamkhani, according to a press email sent by the State Department’s communications office, “accidentally” admitted to relying “on the assistance of proxy groups to spread violence in the region.” In his interview with Holt, Shamkhani said Iran had “multiple instruments at hand, including the proxy war.” While Shamkhani did not say who would help fight on Iran’s behalf, NBC fearfully acknowledged that Iran has been “a long-time supporter of Hezbollah, Hamas and Yemen's Houthi rebels.”

Holt also interviewed Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who claimed that he was sanctioned by the U.S. because he rejected an invitation to the White House. It turns out that he was sanctioned because he supports terrorism against the United States, much like Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) support terrorism against Israel.

The State Department pointed to a Wall Street Journal article from July 1 that explained Treasury Secretary Mnuchin had already announced sanctions would be coming against Zarif. At the beginning of August, Zarif claimed that he had been invited to the White House while he was in New York attending meetings at the United Nations, and that his rejection was the reason he was sanctioned. Zarif was in New York around July 16, two weeks after Mnuchin made hist statement about sanctions, proving him to be a lying sack of dog poop.

To be fair, Mnuchin said at the beginning of July that Zarif would be sanctioned by the end of the week, but he was not sanctioned for nearly a month. Still, the Trump administration points to Mnuchin’s earlier comments as proof that Zarif lied about being sanctioned for rejecting a meeting at the White House.

Zarif also told Holt, who was going to require a change of skivvies after the interview, that the “nuclear deal we have was negotiated in the context of our regional disputes,” referring to the Iran Deal negotiated by the Obama administration that Trump backed out of.

Again, that was due to the American people who elected Trump to ditch the deal, and he did what he promised.

The State Department pushed back on Zarif’s claim, stating that Iran “continued to spend money and provide more resources to their proxies after the nuclear deal and when sanctions were dropped.”

Further, the State Department added, Zarif failed to answer Holt’s original question about Iran’s support for terrorist organizations in the surrounding region.

At the conclusion of the interview, it is rumored that Lester Holt immediately returned to his hotel room, ran into the bathroom and threw up his baghali polo (rice with dill and fava beans), swearing he would never do field journalism again.

Iran might negotiate with U.S. if we reduce sanctions

AP Photo/Vahid Salemi, Bushehr nuclear
power plant

Tehran -- The Islamic Republic of Iran said it just might consider negotiations with the United States if economic sanctions are lifted. But then again, maybe not, so lift the sanctions to find out.

At a Monday news briefing, a spokes jihadi for Iran's foreign ministry said his country might consider negotiating with us when our talk is backed up by our actions and attitude.

Yes, we have to stop gathering in the streets of Washington while President Trump leads us in the chanting of: "Death to Iran!" It isn't nice and it shows our bad attitude to Iran.

Abbas Mousavi  said the best way for the U.S. to approach this would be a “decrease in pain and suffering of the Iranian people,” which he says has been caused by the targeted pressure by the U.S. and not by the Supreme Leader for Life constantly threatening the U.S. and its ally Israel with annihilation.

The spokesman also warned Iran is ready to continue to push its nuclear program if things don’t change, as if they aren't doing that as I write this.

“If we see that special and concrete actions by the remaining members of the nuclear deal are not being taken, and at the same time economic terrorism against the Islamic Republic of Iran is continuing, we will powerfully take the second step,” Mousavi claimed as he grabbed his crotch and bounced back and forth on the balls of his feet..

The warning comes amid reports Iran is ramping up its uranium enrichment efforts. The United Nations said it’s still unclear if Iran can produce weapons-grade nuclear fuel. But if it cannot, it's probably quite close to being able to do so.

Nevertheless, it would be crazy for us to remove the economic sanctions because we would not have anything to bargain with, and also because it's highly likely that Iran is just looking to remove the pressure, which shows us that it's working.

German intel: Iran seeks to expand WMD program

The EU may pretend that Iran is in compliance with the nuclear deal they all signed on to and that Trump withdrew us from in 2018, but a recent German intelligence report states the Islamic Republic of planning to build weapons of mass destruction, according to Fox News who obtained a May 2019 intelligence document from the state of Bavaria.

The intel details Iran's nefarious weapons activities in the southern German state during the previous year.

The Bavarian Office for the Protection of the Constitution [an agency roughly equivalent to our FBI] wrote in its report that Iran is a "risk country" that is  "making efforts to expand its conventional arsenal of weapons with weapons of mass destruction."

According to the report, weapons of mass destruction [WMD] are defined as "the spread of atomic, biological, chemical weapons of mass destruction."

Iran's clerical regime had agreed to restrict development on its nuclear program in exchange for economic concessions as part of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran deal. The problem with the deal was that it didn't stop Iran from building a nuclear weapons device, the Trump administration said.

Of course, that is true and there should be no doubt that Tehran had no plans of stopping their jihad.

On Tuesday, Richard Grenell, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, told Fox News: "We know the Iranian regime is on the hunt for money to fund their malign activities and so it is imperative that the U.S. and our European allies work together to deny this regime the capital they seek. They will use secretive schemes and dark money; we must be vigilant. They are strapped for cash."

The Bavarian intelligence report charged: "In order to obtain the necessary know-how and corresponding components, these states [Iran, North Korea, Pakistan] are trying to establish business contacts to companies in highly technological countries like Germany."

There is more evidence in the Bavarian agency report that indicates the nefarious intent of Iran, such as an electronic beam welding machine that Germany's criminal customs police prevented from being transported to the Shi'ite country. "The machine can be used for the production of [missile] launch vehicles," the report read.

Attempts were made "to disguise the actual customer in Iran," the document said in reference to the welding machine, and it cited an end user in Malaysia. The Bavarian-based company that makes the machine was convicted of violating Germany's export control law and hopefully Bavarian heads will symbolically roll.

This should be a wake-up call for Germany and the rest of the EU who continue to deny reality by attempt maintaining the nuclear deal with Iran at all costs. The alligator will eventually eat them too.

No soup for Iran: Trump hits them with new sanctions

On Friday, the Trump Administration hit the scummy terrorist, jihad-exporting, sharia supremacist Iranian regime with a new round of sanctions.

The Trump administration announced Friday that it is slapping new sanctions on more than two dozen Iranian scumcrumpets involved in the country’s nuclear and missile research programs, as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo denounced Iran’s growing influence.

The Treasury Department said the sanctions target 31 Iranian terror scientists, terror technicians and terror-supporting companies affiliated with Iran’s terrorist Organization for Defense Innovation and Research, a group known to have been at the forefront of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

“Individuals working for Iran’s proliferation-related programs—including scientists, procurement agents, and technical experts—should be aware of the reputational [sic] and financial risk they expose themselves to by working for Iran’s nuclear program,” the State Department said in a statement on Friday.

The officials being sanctioned continue to work in Iran’s defense sector and are part of a core group of experts who could reinstate the nuclear program. The sanctions cover 14 people, including the head of the organization, and 17 subsidiary operations.

President Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in May 2018, describing it at the time as a "horrible, one-sided deal."

Now Iran has someone willing to stand up against their terrorist regime.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Brett McGurk US envoy to anti-ISIS coalition, resigns

Brett McGurk, U.S. envoy for the global coalition to defeat Islamic State, has resigned, following the resignation of Secretary of Defense James Mattis' resignation. Both for apparently the same reason: President Trump's unilateral decision to pull all 2,000 U.S. forces out of Syria.

Trump had tweeted that “we have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.”

Brett McGurk

We have not defeated ISIS, and there is more than one reason for being there, particularly this ally trust thingy reason and the fact that our pullout is going to likely cause the emboldenment of IS and subsequent bloodshed and heads without bodies.

Ground troops moved into Syria in 2015 to fight ISIS amid the Syrian civil war. Trump talked about pulling out of Syria before, but military leaders had warned about ISIS re-emerging should the U.S. do so. He did not listen to them and this has frustrated military people who know military things like strategy and consequences.

On Thursday, Trump announced that Mattis was retiring in February. Mattis’ resignation letter can be seen here in full.      

The AP reported that McGurk's resignation letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Islamic State was on the run, but it still wasn't defeated. He also said that the U.S.'s work in Syria wasn't completed. McGurk was appointed by former President Barack Hussein Obama in 2015.

In a December 11th press conference McGurk explained that “enduring defeat of a group like this means you can’t just defeat their physical space and then leave.”

“Nobody is saying that they are going to disappear. Nobody is that naive,” he told the press. “So we want to stay on the ground and make sure that stability can be maintained in these areas.”

According to one official as per the AP, McGurk's plan was to leave the job in mid-February. However, he felt that due to Trump's decision to leave Syria, and Mattis' resignation, he could no longer continue.

Fox News has learned that McGurk submitted his resignation letter on Friday, a day after Secretary Mattis resigned. His resignation is effective December 31st.

McGurk previously served as a deputy assistant secretary of state for Iraq and Iran, and led secret talks with Iran about the release of American prisoners during the negotiations for the crappy Iran nuclear deal.

McGurk also previously worked as a Supreme Court law clerk to the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist and had also served on former President George W. Bush’s National Security Council staff, where in 2007 and 2008, he was the lead U.S. negotiator on security agreements with Iraq.

On Saturday, Trump said that ISIS is “largely defeated” and that other countries, such as Turkey could take care of whatever is left.

Turkey will also take care of our allies, the Kurds, once we're gone--you can almost count on it.

Saudi paper slams new U.S. Muslim congresswomen

Rashida Tlaib dancing with Ocasio-Cortez

Al Arabiya a pro-government, Saudi-owned pan-Arab news organization just released a hit-piece on Somali American Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Palestinian American Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) regarding their close ties to Linda Sarsour, groups linked to the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, and a camel caravan of others who share the Brotherhood's Islamist political agenda.

But nothing to do with anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism [but I repeat myself] was mentioned.

The news outlet makes its case by demonstrating how the Democratic Party's quest to grab control of Congress "led to an alliance with political Islamist movements . . . pushing Muslim candidates and women activists of immigrant minorities onto the electoral scene."

The Saudi’s mortal-immoral enemy is, of course, Iran. 

There remains anger in Saudi Arabia for former President Obama and his Democratic weasels for pushing Congress out of the way to make room for the controversial Iran nuclear deal, and the U.S. handing billions of dollars into the hands of the ayatollahs which was paramount in helping them foster their nefarious plans for regional hegemony in the Middle East.

But the Saudis have as much animosity toward the Muslim Brotherhood, as it became clear that their quest for power over Middle East governments was beginning to be implemented in the Arab Spring. 

The Muslim Brotherhood also enjoyed undying support by the leftist Obama administration, both in Egypt and by US-linked Brotherhood groups which were considered by Obama's White House as his “top” outreach partners.

Al Arabiya noted that "The common ground between Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib is that both are anti-Trump . . .  especially his foreign policy starting from the sanctions on Iran to the isolation of the Muslim Brotherhood and all movements of political Islam.”

Al Arabiya sees the sponsorship and support received by both Muslim congresswomen-elect as a tactic used by Islamists to infiltrate Congress through the immigrant and Black communities as well as through women’s groups, as represented by their prominent Islamist spokesperson, Linda Sarsour.

Al Arabiya depicts Sarsour as a “Palestinian American activist . . . with roots in Muslim Brotherhood and a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR].” The piece discusses at length Sarsour’s ties to these and other Islamist and terrorists groups and causes.

It's ironic, however, that Saudi Arabia has this or anything to say about the West when they need to get their own house in order first.

Saudi Arabia is ruled by the principles of sharia law. Sharia rules that women are second class citizens and basic human rights are non-existent. Of course, there is no democratic form of government and overall, this system of theocratic rule is similar to that seen in Iran or even in the Muslim Brotherhood's goal of establishing a world caliphate.

The exportation of Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabist theology to mosques and madrassas worldwide has definitely contributed to as much global terrorism as that which has been sponsored by the mullahs running the Islamic Republic of Iran. And the Saudis are even sending tons of money to our colleges in the U.S. in order to gain favor by these institutions.

The important takeaway from this is that our hallowed halls of government are slowly and systematically being transformed into something that is clearly not what the founding fathers ever dreamt of when creating our Constitution and our way of life.

Trump was right about Iran

Western European leaders are finally realizing that President Trump made the right move about getting rid of the Iran nuclear deal. Some of the statements he made on the deal were:

"The fact is this was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made. It didn't bring calm, it didn't bring peace, and it never will."

"At the heart of the Iran deal was a giant fiction that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy program. Today, we have definitive proof that this Iranian promise was a lie."

Diplomats on Tuesday, from the U.K., the Netherlands and France expressed concerns with the Saturday medium-range ballistic missile test Iran performed.

U.S.  officials stated that the latest missile Iran tested could reach Europe and the Middle East.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said that the missile could carry multiple warheads and that it violated Security Council Resolution 2231, which instructed Iran to refrain from “any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.”

That resolution was the implementation of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA).

President Trump walked away from the deal last May, but China, France, Germany, Russia and the U.K. stayed with the deal.

However, after the missile test, the U.K. and France called a closed-door meeting of the Security Council. The government of France stated that, “France is concerned by the launch of a medium-range ballistic missile by Iran on Saturday. It condemns this provocative and destabilizing act. France reiterates that the Iranian ballistic missile program is not in compliance with UNSCR 2231 (2015). It calls on Iran to immediately cease any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be able to carry nuclear weapons, including launches using ballistic missile technology.”

Finally, France removed its collective cranium from its deepest recesses of its collective nether regions.

As Fox News reports, the European ambassadors joined in expressing their concern:

U.K. Ambassador Karen Pierce called the actions "part and parcel of Iran's destabilizing activities in the region."

Her words echo U.K. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who on Saturday admitted that he was “deeply concerned by Iran’s actions," even as he reiterated support for the nuclear deal to avoid having to look like the U.K. was stupid to go along with it. “Provocative, threatening and inconsistent with UNSCR 2231. Our support for JCPoA in no way lessens our concern at Iran’s destabilizing missile program and determination that it should cease,” he tweeted.

Dutch Ambassador Karel van Oosterom added, “This kind of ballistic missile activity is inconsistent with the JCPoA , especially Annex B which calls on Iran not to engage in these kinds of activities.”

So Trump was right--the deal was a waste of paper and a lot of U.S. currency.

Even French Ambassador François Delattre avowed the test was "inconsistent" with the resolution, and he urged the terrorist nation to "immediately cease any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be able to carry nuclear weapons, including launches using ballistic missile technology."

To which Iran replied: "Allahu Akbar!"

Still, the group displayed its usual wussyshistic  attitude toward Iran, with the resolution stating it only “calls upon” Iran to stop its ballistic tests instead of demanding a cessation. Adding: "Please don't get mad at us."

On Tuesday, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in her typically gutsy manner, said the ballistic test was "dangerous and concerning, but not surprising" adding, “The United States has repeatedly warned the world about Iran’s deliberate efforts to destabilize the Middle East and defy international norms. The international community cannot keep turning a blind eye every time Iran blatantly ignores Security Council resolutions. If the Security Council is serious about holding Iran accountable and enforcing our resolutions, then at a minimum we should be able to deliver a unanimous condemnation of this provocative missile test."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), whose father did not take part in any assassination attempts said, “The United States has only begun to reverse the damage done by Obama's Iran nuclear deal, which gave the Ayatollahs the resources and diplomatic breathing room to build more and better ballistic missiles. The last round of sanctions, while important, clearly failed to deter Iran from advancing their missile program. It's time to totally cut off Iran from the global financial system and deny them the resources they're using to threaten us and our allies.”

What do you think?

OMG! Can you believe it-- Iran lied to us

Photo: Screen shot

While many major American cities don't allow undercover surveillance of mosques, even those that have been known to spawn terrorists, Israel has its act together.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced to the world on Monday that his country carried out a dangerous and stunning intelligence operation. Their agents smuggled out tens of thousands of physical documents about Iran's nuclear program, from Iran itself.

The "half a ton" of documents show clearly Iran's ongoing nuclear program and how Obama and his minions lied constantly to the public about Iran in order to trick us into approving Obama's nuclear deal with them--a country that wants to kill us and Israel. The deal allows Iran to maximize its regional power using our money to fund their "little" project.

"Iran lied. Big time," Netanyahu said. "After signing the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret nuclear files." 

The Israeli PM went on to say that a dilapidated warehouse contained Iran's nuclear documents: "55,000 pages, another 55,000 files on 188 CDs."The files contained documents, charts and presentations that clearly incriminated them.

[There should be no doubt that Mossad has big brass ornaments hanging on their Chanukah bushes.]

Netanyahu said Iran had a comprehensive program, known as Project Amad, to design and develop nuclear weapons, and have now disassembled the program for reassembly when we're not paying attention.

The primary goal of Project Amad: designing nuclear weapons developing nuclear cores; preparing nuclear implosions; preparing nuclear tests; and integrating nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles.

[That's a hell of a way to heat up homes and create usable energy].

The sneaky nation devised a plan right after the start of the Second Gulf War. It was to further secretly develop its nuclear weapons program and form new organizations to maintain the work of Project Amad.

Netanyahu said the work was carried out inside the Iranian Defense Ministry. Many of Amad's key personnel continued to work on the project and the money Obama sent the regime [in small, unmarked bills] in the middle of the night was likely used to help fund it.

The Iranians "forgot" to tell the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about the project. It must have slipped their jihadist minds. But in truth, they denied the existence of any such program and specifically denied the Project Amad.

This presentation was undoubtedly known to the United States; Netanyahu said the information had been shared with us and that Obama misled the country and promoted Iran's lies repeatedly. 

Netanyahu explained, "The nuclear deal is based on lies. One hundred thousand files right here prove that they lied . . . Iran continues to lie . . . The nuclear deal gives Iran a clear path to an atomic arsenal."

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Robert Mueller is still investigating President Trump et al, to determine whether the administration colluded with the Russians. 

Over a year has passed and nothing yet has been found. Yet what we know about Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama, in terms of their relationships with our enemies, is incredible and it's mind-boggling that nothing seems to be getting done about it.

Iran's winner of Yasser Arafat Lookalike Contest Threatens to sink US ships if Trump kills deal

President Trump in no uncertain terms made it clear to Iran on Tuesday saying that Iran would have "bigger problems than they have ever had before" if the country dared to restart its nuclear program if the US pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal.

A top Iranian Revolutionary Guard naval commander and winner of the Yasser Arafat Lookalike Contest, Admiral Ali Fadavim threatened the United States. He said that if we pulled out of the crappy Iranian deal, which allows Iran to eventually develop nuclear weapons and destroy the world so they can get to heaven, the US would find itself in a "catastrophic situation."

Grabbing his crotch and bouncing on the balls of his feet, Fadavim said "The actual information that the Americans have about us is much less than what they think they have. When will they figure this out? When it is too late."

"They will definitely figure it out when their ships are sunk, or when they find themselves in a catastrophic situation," he told IRINN TV according to a translatin by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

He probably thinks Trump gets his military advice from Barack Obama, but he may find out the hard way that the United States isn't going to sit by and watch Iran kidnap our sailors, like Obama did when it first occurred under his watch. 

Trump is definitely not Obama. He may be unpredictable and a little crazy, but his unpredictability is what appears to be the catalyst of change such as we are possibly seeing in North Korea.

According to a non-proliferation envoy, the US isn't looking to renegotiate the nuclear accord. Instead, Trump appears to want a separate agreement in line with the one proposed at a press conference with President Trump by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Admiral Fadavim's threat comes after a similar finger wagging from Iran's President Hassan Rouhani.

"I am telling those in the White House that if they do not live up to their commitments, the Iranian government will react firmly," Rouhani said, adding that "if anyone betrays the deal, they should know that they would face severe consequences."

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif basically reiterated the same line over the weekend warning that Iran was ready to move swiftly to enrich uranium if the US shuts down the accord [as if they aren't doing or planning to do it at this time].

And just to prove Iran really means business, Ali Shamkhani, the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council threatened that his country would consider withdrawing from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty if the US reimposes sanctions.

Ironically, if Iran leaves the nuclear deal and the NPT, they're proving the claims of their adversaries that they are seeking to build a nuclear weapon. Anyone who thinks otherwise is suicidally mistaken.

Iran's dictator wants us to give up our guns

"The Bearded Schnozolla"

Iranian theocratic dictator and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Hubba-Hubba, is calling on the United States of America to "make guns illegal" ostensibly due to the deadly shootings that have taken place, but really they want to quietly infiltrate our country and take over.

The Iranian leader would also like us to give up our nuclear weapons, warplanes, ships, tanks, armed forces and our non-Muslim religions, but he's whistling in the wind.

This garbage is coming from a scumcrumpet who had his government spend tons of money on ballistic missiles and military hardware. The same tosser who has people killed for being gay, lesbian, or who leaves Islam, wants to tell us how to live morally.

The dictator tweeted: 

"No one dares apply the clear solution to the promotion of guns and homicide in America. What's the solution? To make guns illegal."

He continued:

In U.S., 100s are killed every week by homicide for no crime,--no reason--not at the hands of police, as US police brutality is a separate issue. The accessibility of guns leads to homicide; it's [sic] created problems for a country like U.S., everyone admits, fears, & is concerned about it."

Suddenly this lunatic, who leads the chants of "Death to America! Death to Israel!" in the streets of Tehran, is concerned about our homicide rates. Sorry, but the dude has a different agenda and if you believe his claptrap, you're crazier than a tearful Jimmy Ayatollah Kimmel rant.

The Ayatollah's own people went to the streets to protest the Khamenei government's corruption. They criticized his leadership for spending billions of dollars it received after the landmark nuclear agreement on weapons and foreign military intervention in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Iran is setting up bases in Syria and fighting for Assad and eventually they will fight against Israel if they're not stopped.

And he has the nut sack to tell us to give up our firearms?

Screw him.

McMaster wants to 'cut off' funding Iran's jihadis

Photo: U.S. Embassy Berlin/Facebook

National Security Advisor H.R, McMaster thinks it's a good idea to stop sending money to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He thinks it makes good sense in security advice and it's hard to argue with him on that one.

McMaster, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, said it was time to "cut off funding" to the group because it has played a "central role" in Iran's becoming the world's leader in state sponsored terror.

I would have thought Obama had that figured out but I guess not. What has taken us so long? Trump should have done this on January 20, 2017.

McMaster also noted that Iran's main civilian airline, Mahan Air, is affiliated with the IRGC and that the airline is permitted to land in Munich in spite of Iran using the planes to transport people and weapons to aid its allies, including Bashar "The Chin" al-Assad in Syria.

What's up with that?

Last October, President Trump didn't certify Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal, and he vowed to target the IRGC with further sanctions. 

When Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced those IRGC sanctions, he said that "the IRGC has played a central role to Iran becoming the world's foremost state sponsor of terror." He further warned "the private sector to recognize that the IRGC permeates much of the Iranian economy, and those who transact with IRGC-controlled companies do so at great risk."

"What Iran is actually doing is applying the Hezbollah model to the greater Middle East," McMaster said. "They want the Arab world perpetually weak, and [they want] weak governments in power that are dependent on Iran for support, while they grow terrorist organizations, militias, illegal arms groups outside that government's control that can turn against government if that government acts against Iran's interests."

[See Syria]

Basically what McMaster was saying that when a country invests in Iran, it is investing in the IRGC.

You recall the IRGC kidnapped U.S. Navy sailors, had them go to their knees while they held them at gunpoint. They are also the same scum weasels that have threatened other ships in various ways.

We need to cut them off immediately.

McMaster called on the world community to "address serious flaws in the Iran deal and counter Iran's destabilizing activities, including its development and proliferation of missiles, and its support for terrorist proxies and militias that fuel destructive conflicts across the greater Middle East.

Theocratic dictatorship calls Trump a 'dictator'

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani called President Trump a "dictator." That's like Rouhani calling Benjamin Netanyahu "antisemitic." It's nothing more than a bad joke.

The nasty finger-pointing came after Trump announced he wouldn't re-certify Iran's compliance under the nuclear deal.

"The Iranian people will not bend down before a dictator," Rouhani said. "It has never surrendered and will never."

Next he said that "No paragraph or article or note will be added" to the deal to please Trump.

So it's clear, Iran wants to continue developing nuclear weapons behind our back. They refuse to allow us to inspect military facilities where weapons are likely being developed, and they provide inspectors with soil samples rather than allowing actual inspections to be done properly.

Of course it's a bad deal. Trump is exactly right and he's also totally justified in de-certifying the deal because there's no honest way to inspect Iran's nuclear activity.

With all Rouhani's tough talk, I suspect we're not going to see their Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boarding U.S. Navy vessels in the future--certainly not without retaliation by us. 

Trump was clearly correct in saying the 2015 deal brokered by the Obama administration was not in the national security interests of the United States and it only helped Iran in their support of terrorist organizations in the Middle East.

"We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror and the very real threat of Iran's nuclear breakout," Trump said.

Rouhani isn't the only other person who hates the U.S. to condemn Trump's decision. John "Hair plugs" Kerry condemned it as well.

"I strongly hope that the other six signatories will prove to the world what responsible behavior is, and adhere to this agreement--no matter what false accusations and contrived provocations are put forward by President Trump," Kerry said.

Responsible behavior would have been to actually put forward a deal that was a 'two-way street' rather than what was crafted. 

The deal stinks of desperation.

Iran "does a CNN" missile launch

Iranian state television released fake video footage Friday claiming they launched a new type of medium-range ballistic missile. The video came just hours after an Iranian military parade displayed the fake in Tehran.

They may have gotten the idea from watching CNN, according to my source, Vinny Boombots. 

There never was a launch and Iran told an Islamic fib.

It turns out, the video was over seven months old of a failed launch in late January. That missile exploded shortly after liftoff, according to U.S. officials.

President Trump initially responded to the reported launch in a Saturday tweet: "Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have!"

"Uh oh"

From this tweet, it's obvious President Trump would do well to have a proof reader and an editor before he hits "Send." But that's just me being a grammar and spelling nazi. 

The 'make believe' launch came after Trump spoke before world leaders at the UN General Assembly. He called the Iran nuclear agreement and 'embarrassment" to the United States [as was Barack Obama].

"We cannot let a murderous regime continue these destabilizing activities while building dangerous missiles, and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program," Mr. Trump said.

Trump told reporters afterward that he made up his mind about the nuclear deal but wouldn't say whether he would pull the U.S.A. out of the deal with Iran because he probably has no idea what he's going to do.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also tossed the bull at the UN a day after Trump spoke, and said that Iran's missile program was "solely defensive" in nature.

Brian Williams, the MSNBC host of "The Eleventh Hour with Brian Williams" concurred with Rouhani saying, "I've been there, done that, and Rouhani is a solid guy who would never lie to the American people."

"We never threaten anyone," Rouhani said, not counting Israel in his statement, "but we do not tolerate threats from anyone."

But they like to threaten infidels whenever they have the opportunity and unprovoked by us, have boarded our naval vessels and have taken our sailors captive, so Rouhani can claim what he likes, but he's just "doing a CNN" and nobody here believes him. 

Calling for "Death to America," and "Death to Israel" is an overt threat and Rouhani and his ilk can go to hell.

So after the footage of Iran's launch was aired, they claimed a successful test, but apparently, it was the failed January launch. [Can I get a big LOL.] They were trying to launch its new Khorramshahr medium-range ballistic missile for its maiden run. It flew about 600 miles and blew up into tiny smithereens in a failed test of its reentry vehicle.

Iran's new medium-range missile is a knockoff of a North Korean design--the Pyongyang's BM-25 Musudan ballistic missile. It has a range of 2,500 miles, so it can reach U.S. forces in the Middle East and Israel, if they can get their act together and resolve the missile's problems. [Personally, I believe they should remove the picture of Kim Jong Un from the nosecone.]

"The very first missiles we saw in Iran were simply copies of North Korean missiles," Jeffrey Lewis said. While no relation to the later Jerry Lewis, he is a missile proliferation expert at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. "Over the years, we've seen photographs of North Korean and Iranian officials in each other's countries, and we've seen all kinds of common hardware."

Last weekend, Iranian General Amir Ali Hajizadeh claimed the missile only had a range of 2,000 kilometers [1,250 miles]. He also claimed that it's easy to pronounce his name.

"The Khoramshahr missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers and can carry multiple warheads," Iran's official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying. Hajizadeh is the Revolutionary Guards aerospace chief.

One U.S. official who declined to be identified because he or she wasn't authorized to leak his or her thoughts, told Vinny Boombots, "I am not sure why the Iranians are lying about the range. I think they don't want to piss the Europeans off."

According to experts, Iran has the largest arsenal of ballistic missiles in the Middle East--over 1,000 short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. Since 2015, they have conducted over 20 missile tests.

So, with North Korea apparently partnering with Iran, the free world needs to watch them both very carefully.
