The head of a messianic Jewish ministry says she's not surprised that the controversial United States-Iran nuclear deal states the U.S. will help protect Iran from Israel.
National security experts and now a U.S. senator have pointed out that the written language in the agreement, under a section on "Nuclear Security," seems to imply that the US. will help defend Iran, even from an attack from Israel.
The controversial section reads:
Cooperation through training or workshops to strengthen Iran's ability to protect against or respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage.
Jan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries, says such an agreement is similar to reports made last March that President Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli fighter jets if they attempted to attack Iran.
The Washington Times reported in a story last year that Obama made the threat when he learned that Israel was planning an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, which Israel claims are being used to produce a nuclear bomb.
A spokesman for the Obama administration denied the claim, which was made by an Israeli cabinet minister to a Middle East newspaper.
Markell says people questioned last year if such a story was really true – and now it seems "official," she tells OneNewsNow.
"Now it is official because I think personally America has just become Israel's number one enemy," she says. "And I didn't think I'd live to see that."
During a U.S. Senate hearing last week, Sen. Marco Rubio asked Secretary of State John Kerry about the agreement including the word "sabotage." Instead of answering, Kerry tossed the question to Ernest Moniz, the Secretary of Energy.
"If Israel conducts an air strike against a physical facility," Rubio said, "does this deal, the way I read it, does it require us to help Iran 'protect and respond' to that threat?"
"No," Moniz replied.
