The terror threats are secondary, according to President Obama, because his agreement supposedly will keep Israel from being attacked by an Iranian nuclear weapon.
Hezbollah could use Iranian after-sanctions cash to import a nuclear weapon from North Korea, but that doesn’t enter President Obama’s imagination because he is sitting in the White House and not in Israel.
The President told Friedman:
Don’t judge me on whether this deal transforms Iran, ends Iran’s aggressive behavior toward some of its Arab neighbors or leads to détente between Shiites and Sunnis.
Judge me on one thing: Does this deal prevent Iran from breaking out with a nuclear weapon for the next 10 years.
He did not say: Judge me on whether this agreement fuels Iranian terror to the point that the Islamic Republic can get by very well without a nuclear weapon for 10 years.
