“For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.” (Psalm 94:14)
US President Barack Obama intends to tell Americans ahead of a Wednesday speech that the possible rejection of the Iran nuclear deal would be a “historic mistake”, a White House official was quoted by Ha’aretz as saying.
The president’s comments come in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s repeated criticism of the dangers of the agreement, which Netanyahu himself has dubbed a historic mistake.
Calling the nuclear deal the most important US foreign policy decision since the decision to declare war on Iraq, the official revealed that Obama “will make the case that this should not even be a close call – this deal has the most comprehensive inspections and transparency regime that we’ve ever negotiated.”
In his speech, Obama will point out that those lawmakers who currently oppose the Iran deal supported to going to war with Iraq. The president is expected to say that “it would be a historic mistake to squander this opportunity – removing constraints on the Iranian program, unraveling the sanctions regime, and damaging American credibility.”
The president will also assure the American people that the nuclear accord “cut’s off all of Iran’s pathways to a bomb, and includes a permanent prohibition on Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.”
