Today’s VLOG asks two questions:
The first: Is there any Iranian violation or transgression of the JCPOA or of long-standing sanctions that would cause this administration to consider imposing a tangible consequence?
According to news sources, the White House said it had “strong indications” that Iran violated UN Security Council resolutions with a ballistic missile test this week. Yet White House press secretary Josh Earnest said it wouldn’t affect implementation of the nuclear deal with Iran. “Iran has demonstrated a track record of abiding by the commitments that they made in the context of the nuclear talks.”
A factually inaccurate, and a troubling response.
The second question deals with the ongoing Palestinian terrorism. Is this the beginning of a third intifada?
Watch the VLOG below:
Here is a related article I wrote for the Jerusalem Post 6 months ago: “Does Mahmoud Abbas Want His Legacy to be the Third Intifada?”
As always, please share your thoughts.
