Iranian President

Item 1:
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is publicly boasting how Iran got everything
it wanted from the deal and much, much more.

"At first they
wanted us to have 100 centrifuges; now we will have 6,000.

restrictions of 25 years; now it's 8.

we could only have IR1 centrifuges, now we can have IR6, 7 and 8, advanced
centrifuges.

said our] heavy water plant at Arak had to be dismantled; but now it will
remain with heavy water under conditions.

centrifuges there....

when UNSC comes with new resolution, all 6 of their previous resolutions will
be lifted....

"Today is the end
of oppressive sanctions. The chain of sanctions is broken....

Item
2: Sunni Arab leaders aghast at Iran
deal, Saudis publicly blast it as “worse than the U.S. deal with North Korea”
and warn deal will wreak havoc in the Middle East. So says Joel Rosenberg.
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and Gulf leaders are privately stunned and angered by the recent moves
of the Obama administration, especially with regards to Iran, yet they have
also been cautious in their public comments.
The Saudis have been more verbal and have been quietly working with the
Sunni leadership of Pakistan to potentially buy nuclear warheads from the
Pakistanies, if the world community didn’t find a way to cut off Iran’s pathway
to the Bomb.
I draw your attention to Zechariah’s words: “Now this will be the plague with which
he Lord will strike all he peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem;
their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet and their eyes will rot in
their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth”. (Zech. 14:12). My aunt, a nurse in the South Pacific when
the WWII ended, was dispatched with her medical team to care for the survivors
of the atom bomb devastation. She said this is a perfect description of what
she found, the skin literally melted off the bones of the people.
And now for the good news. ”The Lord said, “It is not for your sake, O
house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have
profaned among the nations where you went.
I will indicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned
among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the
Lord, declares the Lord God, “when I prove Myself holy among you in their
sight” (Ezek. 22b – 23.).
And now for the promise of the day; “I, the Lord have spoken and I will do it”
(v. 36).
Blessings,
Gramps
