Chaos rules the day as report after report comes is published showing the Middle East is basically exploding, while the US "caves" to Iran while allowing them to become a nuclear power with whispers of a possible deal by Sunday. The Iranian negotiator in the nuclear talks stresses that the west has "withdrawn" from the former positions in order to accomodate a deal.
The Saudis' are bombing Yemen, while telling the US that Iran has been advising the Yemen rebels. Things are so bad there that US special forces had to evacuate prior to the military strikes happening now. Reports also indicate the very same thing could happen in Iraq.
To understand how the hurried evacuation of U.S. special operations forces from Yemen is connected to Iran's regional strategy, look no further than Atheel al-Nujaifi, the Sunni governor of Iraq's Nineveh Province.
On Sunday, Nujaifi sent a letter to U.S. leaders warning that his country was at a tipping point with regard to Iranian influence. As U.S. forces wait on the sidelines in an Iranian-led campaign to liberate Tikrit, Nujaifi said he worried that his country was being lost to Iran.
In other words, what has just happened in Yemen -- where an Iranian-armed and advised militia has overthrown a pro-American government -- could happen soon in Iraq.
Efforts by the Obama administration to stem criticism of its diplomacy with Iran have included threats to nations involved in the talks, including U.S. allies, according to Western sources familiar with White House efforts to quell fears it will permit Iran to retain aspects of its nuclear weapons program.
A series of conversations between top American and French officials, including between President Obama and French President Francois Hollande, have seen Americans engage in behavior described as bullying by sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.
The disagreement over France’s cautious position in regard to Iran threatens to erode U.S. relations with Paris, sources said.
Tension between Washington and Paris comes amid frustration by other U.S. allies, such as Saudi Arabia and Israel. The White House responded to this criticism by engaging in public campaigns analysts worry will endanger American interests.
Things have gotten so hot in the Middle East that even the left-leaning Politico is calling it "Obama's Mideast free-fall."
It isn't only our allies across the globe that are jumping off Obama's sinking Mideast ship, his own allies in the Democrat party are joining with Republicans, making it clear his caving to Iran without language that would guarantee no possibility of them obatining nukes, would prevent Congress from supporting any legislation that would lift sanctions from Iran, whether the Obama administration signed on the dotted line or not.
The critics include not only Republicans, who have long hammered Obama’s approach to issues of war and peace, but Democrats who, echoing the concerns of Israeli leaders, say they fear the deal will leave Iran with nuclear weapons capabilities, thereby threatening allies like Israel and further destabilizing the region.
The pushback came to a head on Friday, when 367 House lawmakers wrote to Obama warning that a deal must “foreclose any pathway to a bomb” before they’ll support legislation lifting sanctions on Tehran — a near-certain condition if Iranian leaders are to agree to a deal.
“Should an agreement with Iran be reached, permanent sanctions relief from congressionally-mandated sanctions would require new legislation,” reads the letter, which was spearheaded by Reps. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) and Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), the leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “In reviewing such an agreement, Congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb, and only then will Congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief.”
Among those endorsing the letter were 129 Democrats — a show of rare bipartisanship in the divided 114th Congress, and one that raises plenty of questions about how much support Obama will have from his party if he reaches a deal that would almost certainly be opposed by leaders in Israel and the Republican Party.
This next report needs to be confirmed and we are working on that, but according to the Google translation of a www.pentapostagma.gr report, found HERE, Egyptian warships that are "participating in the naval blockade of Yemen fired warning shots in the direction of Iranian warships."
What is Obama doing while the Mideast explodes? According to ABC affiliate WPBF, Obama is heading to Florida to play some golf as he is expected to stay at the Florida National Golf Club.
Yes.... really.
The first video below is from ANP friend Freedom Fighter where he shows that Obama admin in on every side the conflicts in the Middle East and the second we hear Dave of X22 Report explain how they will lead to a world war the likes of which we have never seen before.
