Subject: Haley says U.S. to stay in Iran nuclear deal 'right now'


  [What is really interesting about this statement is that it was made
  by Nikki Haley, and not by Tillerson, the Secretary of State. There
  has been a power struggle between Haley and Tillreson for some weeks
  now. Trump favours Haley because, unlike Tillerson, she is a willing
  handmaiden for his far right xenophobic and America-centric foreign
  policy. On the Iran issue Tillerson, McMaster, Mattis, and Kelly, with
  support from the Chief of Staff, all argued strongly that Trump should
  recertify the Iran deal.  Trump disregarded their advice. It has been
  suggested that Haley, with support from the extraordinarily wealthy
  and powerful Zionist family of Robert Mercer, bypassed the military
  triumvirate on the right, amongst other things by enlisting advice
  from John Bolton. It has even been rumoured that Bolton may have had a
  hand in drafting Trump's speech on the Iran deal.

*Tillerson, McMaster and Mattis have been publicly humiliated. When you
think about it, when did you last hear McMaster speek publicly on
anything? Has he, along with so many others, fallen out of favour with
his lord and master, without anybody noticing? The emergence of Haley
means that US foreign policy will shift ever more sharply to the right.
To use Sen. Corker's colourful expression, not merely Tillerson, but
also McMaster and Mattis have all been "castrated", and Haley is having
a ball, if you will forgive the pun. Backed by Mercer and possibly by
Adelson as well, John Bolton, who was initially rejected when he sought
the post of Secretary of State, is now a slightly sinister power behind
the throne. Netanyahu has intimate ties, not just with Trump, but with
all of these key players. Have Netanyahu and the mega-wealthy US Zionist
lobby replaced the State Department as a key foreign policy adviser for
the Trump administration? In accordance with Trump's wishes, the State
Department is also being gutted and marginalised, as is Tillerson, who
has willingly presided over the marginalisation of his own Department.
Like the Jewish kapos who collaborated with the Nazis in the
concentration camps, Tillerson will himself sooner or later come to a
sticky end.]*


  Haley says U.S. to stay in Iran nuclear deal 'right now'

  (Reuters) - The United States for the time being will stay in an
international nuclear deal with Iran, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki
Haley said on Sunday, adding that the Trump administration wanted to
weigh a “proportionate” response to Tehran’s actions on the world stage.

“I think right now, you’re going to see us stay in the deal, because
what our hope is that we can improve the situation, and that’s the
goal,” Haley said referring to what she said were Iran’s ballistic
missile tests, international arms sales and state-sponsored terrorism.

Haley, interviewed on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” also said the reason the
United States was looking closely at the Iran nuclear deal is because of
escalating tensions over North Korea’s nuclear weapons development.
“What we’re saying now with Iran is don’t let it become the next North
Korea.”

On Friday, Trump refused to formally certify that Iran was meeting the
requirements of a 2015 international deal aimed at monitoring and
controlling that country’s nuclear program.

The U.S. Congress now has 60 days to decide whether to reimpose economic
sanctions on Tehran that were lifted under the deal.

In her “Meet the Press” interview, Haley said, however, “We’re not
saying they’re in breach of the agreement.”

Haley, also interviewed on ABC’s ”This Week,“ said of Iran: ”We have to
hold them accountable. They can’t be continuing to support terrorism
around the world like we are seeing they do. They can’t continue to test
ballistic missiles, which will lead to a nuclear Iran. They can’t
continue to do arms smuggling.”

Haley said that other countries were “turning a blind eye” to these
activities by Iran in order to “protect” the nuclear agreement.
