I Find Myself Believing the Iranians

Iran’s chief negotiator on the nuclear agreement, Abbas Araqchi, says that there is an informal side deal to the formal agreement between Iran and the six other powers (the U. S., Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China), which he called a nonpaper.

The State Department says that there is no such secret agreement.  I’m going with Araqchi on this one.

Araqchi seems very happy with the results of the negotiation:  “No facility will be closed; enrichment will continue, and qualitative and nuclear research will be expanded.  All research into a new generation of centrifuges will continue.”

I predict that this whole thing is going to blow up and be a disaster for the Obama administration in the latter half of 2014.
