Obama Defends Iran Deal At Saban Forum
At the 10th Annual Saban Forum, President Barack Obama said Saturday that the United States would allow Iran to retain nuclear enrichment capabilities as part of a final deal to end its weapons program. But he said requiring Iran to dismantle its entire nuclear program prior to relaxing any sanctions -- as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks -- is as pie-in-the-sky as Congress doing exactly what the president wants.- published: 08 Dec 2013

Obama defends diplomacy with Iran
US President Barack Obama on Saturday defended nuclear diplomacy with Iran, saying talks can achieve greater peace for Israel and the United States than could military action. Speaking to the Brookings Institution's Saban Forum, the US president explained some of the gaps existing between himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, who keeps opposing a nuclear deal reached last month between Iran and six world powers - the US, Britain, Russia, France, China and Germany, known as the P5+1. "There are times where I, as president of the United States, am going to have different tactical perspectives than the prime minister of Israel," Obama said. The president criticized Netanyahu for believing that the constant mounting of pressure will ultimately lead the Iranians to halt their nuclear energy program, including enrichment-related activities. No political party in Tehran will tolerate anything but a "dignified solution" to the decade-long nuclear dispute, Obama asserted. He said an "ideal" agreement to eliminate "every nut and bolt" of Iran's nuclear program was not a realistic goal. According to the six-month deal struck in Geneva, the US and five other powers have agreed to reduce some of the existing economic sanctions on Iran. The interim deal gives negotiators the time and space to discuss a long-term agreement in which Iran would continue to enrich "low level" uranium while the world powers would lift all sanctions on the nation. Obama said the US remains committed to Israel's security, and that the bilateral military and intelligence cooperation "has never been stronger." After the Nov. 24 agreement, the White House opposed new congressional proposals to increase economic sanctions on Iran, saying they would scuttle the interim deal and end hopes for a permanent one. The Iranian side also hopes that the deal would create a win-win situation. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister and member of the Iranian nuclear negotiating team, Abbas Araghchi, urged the P5+1 not to lose the opportunity created after the Geneva deal to resolve the nuclear dispute. He said there is no single winner in negotiations, and that a resolution of the issue will benefit both sides. The Brookings Institution is hosting the forum entitled, "Power Shifts: US-Israel Relations in a Dynamic Middle East."- published: 08 Dec 2013

Obama: U.S. and Israel Have Different 'Perspectives' on Iran
President Barack Obama sat down with Democratic donor and staunch Israel supporter Haim Saban Saturday at the 10th annual Saban Forum and spent most the nearly one-hour conversation defending the recent nuclear deal the U.S. and allies struck with Iran. While Obama confirmed that the U.S.'s "commitment to Israel's security is sacrosanct" he also acknowledged that there will times when he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have "different tactical perspectives." The president answered a question from Saban regarding a recent column from The New York Times' Thomas Friedman that said the U.S. needs some "crazy" on our side if we are going to negotiate with Iran. Specifically, Friedman was talking about the type of "crazy" found in Netanyahu. Obama tactfully dismissed the notion that his Israeli counterpart is "crazy" before affirming the "constant consultation" and "strong" military and intelligence "cooperation" between the two countries since he took office. "Across the board, our coordination on the concrete issues facing Israel's security has never been stronger," he said. The president then laid out the reasons why the two leaders may not always agree on every aspect of what it takes to keep each country secure.- published: 08 Dec 2013

US President Barack Obama has rejected Israel's criticism of a nuclear deal with Iran, saying Tel Aviv's vision of an ideal agreement with Tehran is unrealistic. Obama says it's unrealistic to believe that Iran would halt and dismantle its nuclear program completely. That's what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been lobbying for. The US president added that if Iran does not implement its side of the Geneva agreement, America will tighten sanctions and even the military option remains on the table. He also suggested that Iran could enrich uranium as part of a future comprehensive deal with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany. However, Obama said the Geneva deal does not give Iran a right to enrich uranium. Iranian officials say the Geneva deal recognized the country's right to enrich uranium. Obama made the remarks at the Brookings Institute's Saban Forum in Washington.- published: 08 Dec 2013

The president then laid out the reasons why the two leaders may not always agree on every aspect of what it takes to keep each country secure. "There are times where I as president of the United States am going to have different tactical perspectives than the prime minister of Israel and that is understandable, because Israel cannot contract out its security. In light of the history that the people of Israel understand all too well, they have to make sure they're making their own assessments about what they need to do to protect themselves and we respect that and I have said that consistently to the prime minister." The president went on to say that it is his view "from a tactical perspective" that the U.S. must pursue the recent deal with Iran. "It will make us stronger internationally, and it may possibly lead to a deal that we'll have to show to the world," he said. Noting that the U.S. will continue to consult with Israel about the next iterations of the deal, Obama warned against the perils of avoiding diplomatic efforts on principle. "Presuming that it's going to be a bad deal, and as a consequence not trying for a deal, I think would be a dire mistake."- published: 07 Dec 2013

Israel's Vision of Nuclear Deal with Iran Unrealistic Says Obama
Israel's Vision of Nuclear Deal with Iran Unrealistic Says Obama
President Barack Obama warned on Saturday that Israel's vision of an "ideal" nuclear agreement with Iran was unrealistic and put the chance of any acceptable final deal emerging at no more than 50/50. But Obama argued that the best possible available agreement with Tehran was likely to be better than the alternatives, and it was therefore imperative to try to secure one. Obama, speaking at the Brookings Institution's Saban Forum in Washington, said a deal was possible that included enough verification safeguards to assure foreign powers Tehran could not build a nuclear bomb. He indicated that could include a very "modest" option for Iran to enrich uranium as part of a peaceful nuclear program under intense scrutiny by outside observers that would ensure Tehran was kept from "breakout" capacity needed to race to build an atomic weapon. "If we could create an option in which Iran eliminated every single nut and bolt of their nuclear program and foreswore the possibility of ever having a nuclear program, and for that matter got rid of all its military capabilities, I would take it," Obama said. "But I want to make sure everybody understands it - that particular option is not available, so as a consequence, what we have to do is make a decision, as to given the options available, what is the best way for us to assure Iran does not get a nuclear weapon?" Obama noted likely criticism from Israel of any final deal that did not eliminate all of Iran's nuclear infrastructure as he laid out a pragmatic case for the negotiations. "One can envision an ideal world in which Iran said 'we will destroy every element or facility and you name it it is all gone.'" But he added: "I think we have to be more realistic and ask ourselves what puts us in a strong position to assure ourselves that Iran is not having a nuclear weapon." Obama also made clear that the interim deal reached in Geneva last month between Iran and world powers did not grant Iran a "right to enrich," despite such interpretations of the deal by some top Iranian officials. "We can envision a comprehensive agreement that involves extraordinary constraints and verification mechanisms and intrusive inspections but that permits Iran to have a peaceful nuclear program," Obama said. Such a scenario, however, would not permit underground fortified facilities or advanced centrifuges. "Now, you'll hear arguments including potentially from the (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) that says we can't accept any enrichment on Iranian soil, period, full stop, end of conversation," Obama said as he warned that such solutions of "an ideal world" were not within reach. "There are a lot of things I can envision that would be wonderful," he said. "But ... I think we have to be more realistic." "It is my strong belief that we can envision an end state that gives us an assurance that even if they have some modest enrichment capability, it is so constrained, and the inspections intrusive, that they as a practical matter do not have breakout capacity." Obama also sought to temper expectations on the likelihood of a successful final agreement with Tehran. "If you asked me what is the likelihood that we're able to arrive at the end state that I was just describing earlier, I wouldn't say that it's more than 50/50," he said. "But we have to try." The interim nuclear agreement reached in Geneva freezes aspects of Iran's nuclear program and caps its enriching of uranium. In return, world powers offered Iran seven billion dollars worth of limited sanctions relief. Netanyahu this week slammed the international community's "rush to accommodate" with the interim deal, describing an easing of sanctions as dangerous "political theatre." Secretary of State John Kerry, who is just back from Israel, appeared at the same forum a few hours after Obama, and redoubled the administration's effort to convince the Israelis - and skeptics in the US Congress who are mulling new sanctions, that the deal was a good one. "I am convinced that we have taken a strong first step that has made the world, and Israel, safer," Kerry said. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/obama-warns-ideal-world/914230.html- published: 08 Dec 2013

Obama supports Iran having modest enrichment capability & peaceful nuclear program
Obama supports Iran having modest enrichment capability & peaceful nuclear program
Speaking at the Saban Forum today, Obama said that he envisions a permanent deal in which Iran has a peaceful nuclear program with "modest enrichment" capability. So really what is to stop them taking a peaceful program and weaponizing. North Korea did it after Clinton signed a similar agreement with them. But I think what we have said is we can envision a comprehensive agreement that involves extraordinary constraints and verification mechanisms and intrusive inspections, but that permits Iran to have a peaceful nuclear program. Now, in terms of specifics, we know that they don't need to have an underground, fortified facility like Fordor in order to have a peaceful nuclear program. They certainly don't need a heavy-water reactor at Arak in order to have a peaceful nuclear program. They don't need some of the advanced centrifuges that they currently possess in order to have a limited, peaceful nuclear program. And so the question ultimately is going to be, are they prepared to roll back some of the advancements that they've made that would not justify -- or could not be justified by simply wanting some modest, peaceful nuclear power, but, frankly, hint at a desire to have breakout capacity and go right to the edge of breakout capacity. And if we can move that significantly back, then that is, I think, a net win. Now, you'll hear arguments, including potentially from the Prime Minister, that say we can't accept any enrichment on Iranian soil. Period. Full stop. End of conversation. And this takes me back to the point I made earlier. One can envision an ideal world in which Iran said, we'll destroy every element and facility and you name it, it's all gone. I can envision a world in which Congress passed every one of my bills that I put forward. (Laughter.) I mean, there are a lot of things that I can envision that would be wonderful. (Laughter.) But precisely because we don't trust the nature of the Iranian regime, I think that we have to be more realistic and ask ourselves, what puts us in a strong position to assure ourselves that Iran is not having a nuclear weapon and that we are protected? What is required to accomplish that, and how does that compare to other options that we might take? And it is my strong belief that we can envision a end state that gives us an assurance that even if they have some modest enrichment capability, it is so constrained and the inspections are so intrusive that they, as a practical matter, do not have breakout capacity.- published: 08 Dec 2013

The Debate - New Iran Sanctions Despite Deal
The Debate - New Iran Sanctions Despite Deal
Under the Geneva deal reached between Iran and the world powers, Washington had agreed to refrain from slapping new sanctions on Iran. So why has Washington decided to blacklist Iranian individuals and companies? The US response: We carried out the new sanctions within the framework of the existing sanctions regime which had forced Tehran to the negotiating table and did not constitute new measures. But the US Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman, insists that Congress could theoretically keep imposing new sanctions on Iran as long as they do not make it about their nuclear program. Sherman said "the only commitment we have made in this agreement is no new nuclear-related sanctions." What does Sherman's remark signify? Is there a disparity and division between the US Congress and the Obama administration, Israel's continued efforts to sabotage the nuclear deal, and the chances of this nuclear deal falling apart.- published: 14 Dec 2013
