Predictions on the Iranian Nuclear Deal President Obama is interested in his own interests and not the interests of Israel. Israel must take action against Iran for survival. It is time for Israel to state the obvious and that is the only nation-state that cares about the survival of Israel is Israel. Netanyahu called the deal made with Iran a "historic mistake."1 This was before President Obama decided to call the Prime Minister and try to explain the deal made with Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after speaking with President Obama made this comment to his Cabinet "[Israel] has the right and duty to defend itself by itself."2 Iran’s President Rouhani made it perfectly clear that the deal made with the P5+1 meant that Iran would still be able to enrich Uranium.3 Exactly what do the above developments mean concerning certain ramifications in the Middle East for Israel and some of the Arab nation-states like Saudi Arabia? The first thing that must be explored is how likely is it that Iran will live up to the agreements made for the next six months. This writer argues that Iran will continue to enrich uranium and work on its nuclear program for the next six months while it drags its feet with the international community. The seven billion in sanctions that are being lifted have only confirmed to the Iranian leadership that the Western nations are weak. President Obama’s missteps in Syria and the "Red Line" comment were heard loud and clear by Iran and in Iran’s view the United States is not going to take any military action against Iran.4 In the days leading up to the negotiations in Geneva Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave a speech to the paramilitary organization Basij. Supreme Leader Khamenei stood in front of about fifty thousand members and he was firm in his convictions about Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu who he described as a "Rabid Dog."5 The Supreme Leader Khamenei also called for the annihilation of Israel. Suzanne Maloney argues that the Khamenei in his speech made it clear: "…American immorality, greed and wickedness; [Khamenei]who detests Israel; and who anticipates the ultimate triumph of the Islamic world over what he sees as a declining West and illegitimate Israel."6 In light of Khamenei’s full speech how can Secretary of State Kerry believe that he can make deals with such a regime? There is something inherently wrong with the idealistic thinking of the liberal left. President Obama and those around him like Secretary of State Kerry believe in soft power as a legitimate way of thinking when it comes to foreign policy and Iran. Perhaps, on a good day America can make concessions using soft power with fellow allies of the West like Germany, France, and England. However, in the current international environment using soft power in the Western arena is also pushing the envelope. The problem with the Iranian deal is that America has crawled under the covers with China and Russia in order to make a deal with Iran and this is just plain dumb. Russia supports Syria and Iran is supporting Syria so those two have mutual interests at the moment in the Middle East. China has deals with Iran for oil so they do not want to upset the Iranians. The aforementioned is why Iran was able to get away with such an unrealistic deal with the United States in Geneva on Sunday. It is easy to make predictions on how the next six months will play out with the Iranians and their nuclear program. The first thing that America and the West will see is that the inspections are not going as negotiated in Geneva. The Iranians will make excuses on why they cannot go along with certain aspects of the nuclear inspection team. This will raise red flags that the Iranians will once again work to extinguish with the West. Secretary of State Kerry will meet with Iranian President Rouhani who will appease Secretary of State Kerry and make him think that the nuclear inspection team can do what it is expected to do. Secretary of State Kerry will make an announcement to the world about how once again he has put the negotiations back on track with Iran. This will make things look good while the Iranians continue to build nuclear centrifuges, enrich uranium, and develop nuclear launch capabilities. All this will happen at secret underground facilities that the world will not know about until they are pointed out by Israel. It is time that Israel walks away from the United States while President Obama remains in power in America. Israel needs to understand that President Obama is not interested in the security of Israel. President Obama is interested in placing obstacles between the thinking of the American people and the Affordable Care Act’s failure at this time. Foreign policy, immigration reform, and anything else that the President can use to take the American peoples mind off the Affordable Care Act he will do. It is very important that Prime Minister Netanyahu takes Iranian policy into his own hands and realizes that President Obama will not help him in anyway militarily. It can be argued that not only will the United States refuse to help Israel with any efforts to attack Iran on its own, but the United States will do everything in its power to stop Israel from acting in its own best interest. This is a bad time for Israel. Iran is going to take full advantage of the opening that has been given to them by the P5+1 in regards to the Iranian nuclear program. It is obvious that before President Obama leaves office Iran will have nuclear weapons at their disposal and aimed at Israel.

About the Author
My name is Kevin C. Caffrey and I have a Master’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado at Denver. My undergraduate work began in my youth chiefly at Central Connecticut State University and this is where I received a majority of my political science credits. Because of the location of the school many of my professors held doctor’s degrees from either Harvard University or Yale University. I finished my undergraduate work at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Most of my credits went well beyond the necessary amount of credits needed to graduate. The reason why I needed to continue on in the undergraduate program was so that I could receive a Secondary Education License in Social Studies. In order to get my Secondary Education License I taught American History and United States Government at one of the local high schools in a poor section of Denver, Colorado. I learned a lot about the students that I taught. However, it was my hands-on teaching experience that drew me to one conclusion. I decided that teaching high school students’ was not for me. In order to move forward in teaching I decided to get a Master’s Degree so that I could teach at the college level. I was born in Hartford Connecticut and grew up in West Hartford Connecticut. West Hartford offers one of the best high school educations in the country. I was raised Roman Catholic and went to weekly classes at the church and also went to church every Sunday. While living in Tampa, Florida a girl I was dating introduced me to the Methodist Church. It was at that point that I became a born again Christian filled with the Holy Spirit. It is my Christian ideological thinking that guides my moral and ethical positions on various political social issues.
