October Surprise? Obama secret Iran deal cut

Look for announcement of temporary halt to uranium enrichment

"Iran could announce a temporary halt to uranium enrichment before next month’s U.S. election in a move to save Barack Obama’s presidency, a source affiliated with high Iranian officials said today.

The source, who remains anonymous for security reasons, said a three-person delegation of the Obama administration led by a woman engaged in secret negotiations yesterday with a representative of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The delegation urged the Iranian leader to announce a halt to enrichment, even if temporary, before the Nov. 6 election, promising removal of some sanctions.

The source said the delegation warned that a Mitt Romney presidency would change the U.S. relationship with Iran regarding its nuclear program.

The U.S. representatives reminded the Iranians that President Obama has stood in front of Israel, preventing the Jewish state from attacking Iran over its illicit nuclear arms policy.

Yesterday’s meeting, which took place in Doha, Qatar, was coordinated by the Qatar monarchy, whose members attended at the request of the Obama administration.

Ali Akbar Velayati, the former Iranian foreign minister and current close adviser to the supreme leader on international affairs, secretly traveled to Qatar for the meeting. Velayati is wanted by Argentina for the Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires in 1994 that killed 85 people.

One Obama representative, the woman, who had met Velayati before, urged Velayati to announce a halt, even if it is only for a week or two, to uranium enrichment prior to the U.S. election, according to the source. The U.S. representatives promised the Obama administration quickly would remove some sanctions on the Iranian central bank and oil industry, with further collaboration after the election, the source said.

Yesterday’s secret meeting took place even as hundreds of merchants in Tehran marched on parliament to protest the collapsing Iranian currency and the Islamic regime’s financial support for the besieged Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad.

Riot police violently clamped down on black-market money changers while merchants in the sprawling bazaar closed their shops during the protest. With inflation soaring, Iranian merchants can’t sell their goods, for fear they won’t be able to restock their shelves.

Yesterday’s negotiation was an extension of secret negotiations begun in early January when, according to Iranian officials and a report by Fars News Agency, Obama requested collaboration with the Islamic regime through three different channels. The channels were a letter to the supreme leader, a message to the Iranian U.N. delegate and a direct message through Swiss Ambassador Livia Leu Agosti in Tehran in a meeting with Iranian Foreign Ministry officials, who quoted a message from Obama.

The Obama message said: “I didn’t want to impose sanctions on your central bank, but I had no options but to approve it since a Congress majority had approved the decision.”

A unanimous U.S. Senate vote had approved strong sanctions against the Iranian central bank and oil industry, but with a veto threat by the president, the effective date of the implementation of the sanctions was delayed to July 1.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said yesterday in Kazakhstan that the sanctions can be lifted immediately if the regime meets its nuclear obligations. She blamed its leaders for the financial crisis and spreading protests and said U.S. policy only seeks to convince the regime to seriously negotiate over its uranium enrichment program.

The Islamic leaders face increasing challenges with the Iranian people, a majority of whom resent the regime and are once again gathering energy to confront it with the hope of achieving regime change and freedom and democracy."

Obama's election-eve deal with Iran

Exclusive: Joseph Farah exposes president's treacherous 'October Surprise' bargain

WND
Joseph Farah - 'Between the Lines' Editorial
10/7/2012

Excerpt:

"Last Thursday, WND broke the stunning news that Barack Obama’s administration offered a secret election-eve deal to Iran that would result in reduced sanctions in exchange for a phony diplomatic coup designed to bolster his vote Nov. 6.

The report is based on hard intelligence gathered by Reza Kahlili, the highly esteemed former CIA spy inside the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and counterterrorism expert.

It was a big story – one the major media, and even most of the so-called alternative media, ignored.

Of course, hundreds of thousands of Americans read the report in WND – which may be enough to ensure Obama cannot get away with an “October Surprise” in which he announces dramatically that his administration has successfully persuaded Iran to suspend uranium enrichment in its effort to develop a nuclear weapons arsenal.

On the other hand, given the tacit response of the major media, Obama may indeed gamble, roll the dice and go for the deal anyway – under the assumption that most Americans won’t see through the gambit exposed in advance by WND.

Note the details contained in the story – names, dates, places. There’s no question this deal was offered. Here it is in its brazen essence.

Obama sent a representative to Qatar to meet with a representative of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with an offer: If Iran suspends uranium enrichment for even just two weeks before the election, this would greatly benefit Obama’s political situation, resulting in a reduction of sanctions currently imposed on Iran because of its nuclear weapons program. Obama’s representative even warned that Iran would have a much easier time dealing with Obama in a second term than with Mitt Romney. In other words, this move was all about Obama’s re-election bid, his personal political objectives, not U.S. national security.

It’s a shocker. It’s a scandal of epic proportions. It’s the kind of development that demonstrates so clearly why Obama represents a clear and present danger to U.S. national security. He will do anything and say anything to win re-election at any cost. To Obama, Republicans represent a bigger threat than a nuclear Iran.

People took great risks to bring this news to the American people, but only a tiny percentage of U.S. voters are aware of it because of the media’s unwillingness to share it – or explore it for themselves if they don’t believe WND’s detailed report based on credible sourcing.

In other words, this despicable plot could have been blown out of the water had the media seized on it, explored it and revealed the evidence to the American electorate. But they chose not to do so for their own reasons."
