More Secret Gifts to Iran

Look — there’s another one of those secret Iran-deal side agreements that President Obama says don’t exist. The Institute for Science and International Security, headed by former UN weapons inspector David Albright, just issued a report citing three technical concessions Obama and his negotiating partners made to Iran without telling the public.

No, none is as dramatic as the revelation in July that another secret side deal relaxes key restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in a decade, rather than 15 years. Or the earlier disclosure that Iran gets to “self-inspect” its Parchin military base, where it had worked on building nuclear detonators.

But the newly disclosed “exemptions and loopholes” will help Iran be far more prepared to sprint its way to nukes when it so chooses.

More important, they were all enacted for one particular reason: Without them, accord- ing to Albright’s report, Tehran couldn’t have met last January’s deadline for compliance with the public requirements of the deal. And that, in turn, would’ve meant Iran couldn’t start getting sanctions relief.

The secret deals let Iran exceed the stated limit on how much low-enriched uranium — which can be purified to weapons-grade material — it retains.

They also allow it to keep operating radiation-containment chambers, and to store abroad (but under Tehran’s control) the heavy-water stocks needed for nuclearweapons development.

Yet even as Obama bends over backward to accommodate Iran (thereby freeing up billions for possible terrorist funding), Tehran keeps testing ballistic warheads and engaging in clandestine efforts to acquire nuclear technology and equipment.

Yet one more sign our president sold the American people a dangerous bill of goods.
