A New York Times profile of National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes has revealed that the Obama administration engaged in deceit to sell the Iran nuclear deal to the American people. The damage to America’s security is grave, says Michael Rubin: “In essence, the White House argued that any fault in the Iran deal—especially given its sunset clause—could be offset by the gamble that Rouhani might fundamentally change the nature of the Islamic Republic.
What Rhodes reveals, however, is that the Obama administration knowingly left the Islamic Republic with an industrial-scale nuclear program capable of building not only a bomb but also an arsenal when the White House understood that the that Iranian regime—which would have unfettered nuclear access upon the expiration of the [agreement]—would not be fundamentally different than it is now.”
