OBAMA SEEKING IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL TO STOP NETANYAHU ‘DESTROYING ENTIRE WORLD’
Washington, 18 Jumadil Awwal 1436/9 March 2015 (MINA) – American journalist Mark Glenn says President Barack Obama is seeking to finalize a nuclear deal with Iran in order to stop Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from destroying the world.
Glenn made the comments in a phone interview with Press TV on Sunday when asked about a recent statement by Obama.
The US president said on Sunday that there is a sense of “urgency” in reaching an agreement with Iran, Press TV quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.
The Obama administration’s officials “are genuinely frightened that they have a rabid dog on the loose in the form of Netanyahu and there he’s going to do something crazy, that he’s going to detonate a nuclear weapon somewhere in the United States, somewhere in the West in order to blame it on Iran,” Glenn said.
“I believe that this in part explains the ‘urgency’ that President Obama referenced in his speech. They literally have an Armagedonist sitting there with his finger on the button in Israel, and now they are scrambling to find some way of dealing with him and getting his finger away from that button before he destroys the entire world,” he added.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is in the middle of nuclear talks with the P5+1 group — Russia, China, France, Britain, the US and Germany — in order to reach a comprehensive agreement after an interim deal was reached in November 2013.
Obama said Iran has abided by the terms of the interim nuclear agreement signed two years ago.
“I think it is fair to say that there is an urgency because we now have been negotiating for well over a year and the good news is that during this period, Iran has abided by the terms of the agreement,” Obama said.
He noted that the current nuclear negotiations have reached a point where political decisions should be made in order to reach a final deal because technical issues are resolved. (T/P010/P3)
