The Iran Agreement Is about More than Nukes - Michael Weiss (NOW-Lebanon) A decade's worth of diplomacy and dirty warfare with the world's only superpower has seen Iranian hegemony metastasize exactly where it was meant to be isolated or diminished. Any permanent deal will only certify and internationalize America's acquiescence to that hegemony since the attendant risks of trying to counter Iranian influence will mean threatening the compact, much as the chemical disarmament program for Syria gave Assad a year's worth of impunity by making him a necessary partner in dismantling his own nerve gas stockpiles.

Senior BBC Correspondent Misleads Audiences on Iran’s Terror Connections (CAMERA) In an article on the BBC News website’s Middle East page, correspondent Jonathan Marcus mentioned Iran’s “alleged support for terrorism”. The word ‘alleged’ (meaning said, without proof, to have taken place) is completely superfluous. Iran’s record of material, financial and ideological support for internationally recognized terrorist organizations Hizballah, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas is well documented.
