Even if the half-ton of documents and other files contain no mention of such a fatwa, deal advocates insist, that does not discount its existence.
Tel Aviv, May 3 – Technical experts and translators processing the vast quantity of documents and other information on Iran’s nuclear program taken by Mossad agents from a Tehran warehouse in February have yet to come across a much-touted religious ruling that President Barack Obama and other American officials invoked in favor of the impending nuclear deal with the Ayatollahs’ regime, to the effect that pursuit or use of atomic weapons would violate Islamic tenets.
While Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu revealed the existence of the 100,000 files and the way in which they were obtained, experts have hesitated to comment on the significance of the information they contain, and even Israel’s internal manpower has yet to cover the entire trove, leaving open the possibility that the fatwa Obama and his secretary of state, John Kerry, cited does in fact exist outside the fantasies of Iran Deal advocates. Personnel involved in the processing of the files, however, deem it unlikely that the collection contains such a document.
“It’s really too early to tell,” admitted Hugh Briss, a defense consultant with ties to the Israeli team interpreting the files. “But let’s just say the focus of the documents lies more in the technical and military realm than in the religious. And by more, I mean no one I’ve spoken to involved in the work has encountered anything religious at all to this point. We’ll know for sure in a couple of months or so.”
Even if the half-ton of documents and other files contain no mention of such a fatwa, some experts believe, that does not discount its existence. “You can’t prove a negative,” insisted Ben Rhodes, an adviser to Obama who played a key role in manipulating the media to shill for the deal. “So the way it works is, the president and the secretary claimed there is such a fatwa, and no one can prove otherwise, so you have to believe them, and there’s no problem relying on Iran’s commitment to use its research for peaceful means only. It’s that simple, and anyone who says otherwise is a warmongering neocon who wants America to fight wars for Israel.”
“Also, they’re probably racist profiteers,” he added. “Now go print that and broadcast it in all the major media outlets, because that’s your job as part of my echo chamber, and make sure it looks like diverse experts are saying it and not just some failed writer of young adult fiction.”
