Saudi Arabia On The Iran Nuclear Cave By Obama Administration: "We were lied to, things were hidden from us"

Saudi Arabia claims they were kept in the dark by Obama Administration over Iran nuclear deal and says it will strike out on its own

A senior advisor to the Saudi royal family has accused its Western allies of deceiving the oil rich kingdom in striking the nuclear accord with Iran and said Riyadh would follow an independent foreign policy.
Nawaf Obaid told a think tank meeting in London that Saudi Arabia was determined to pursue its own foreign and policy goals. Having in the past been reactive to events, the leading Sunni Muslim nation was determined to be pro-active in future.

Mr Obaid said that while Saudi Arabia knew that the US was talking directly to Iran through a channel in the Gulf state of Oman, Washington had not directly briefed its ally.
"We were lied to, things were hidden from us," he said. "The problem is not with the deal struck in Geneva but how it was done."

Valerie Jarrett’s Green Light Deal For Iranian Nukes

In recent weeks, there were a myriad of reports suggesting Valerie Jarrett, who has no foreign and/or military policy experience, was conducting secret negotiations with the Iranians. While the White House initially ignored, then refuted these reports, does it not seem a very big coincidence then that these reports were quickly followed up by the current White House crowing over a deal now having been struck with Iran?

And for those few readers who may not already know – Valerie Jarrett is Iranian born.

Now on to the just released details of the Iranian agreement itself. First, it is a six month agreement which will allow Iranians to continue developing its nuclear program AND receive BILLIONS in financial support from reduced economic sanctions. It is, in essence a deal which as the West giving up almost everything, and the Iranians giving up nothing – agreeing to what is merely a promise to not make nuclear weapons, while at the same time, further developing its nuclear program.
This is the kind of diplomacy the Obama White House is attempting to pat itself on the back for?
What about the Iranians themselves who are now telling the world that the United States, via this agreements, has “formally” recognized its right to continue its nuclear program? Here are the words of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani:
“Let anyone make his own reading, but this right is clearly stated in the text of the agreement that Iran can continue its enrichment, and I announce to our people that our enrichment activities will continue as before.”
The Iranian government has long argued its nuclear program is meant only to increase the nation’s energy production, but that argument has been spoken at the very same time they have shared this kind of war mongering sentiment regarding Israel:
“A wound that has sat on the body of the Muslim world for years and needs to be removed.”
That quote was spoken by Iranian President Rouhani just a few months ago. The same President Rouhani who is claiming the current agreement by the Obama administration as a clear victory for Iran.
The same agreement earlier reports suggested was initiated and overseen by Valerie Jarrett.
Iranian born Valerie Jarrett.
