The Obama Admin Knows A Big Secret About Iran, And It’s Refusing To Tell Congress

(Before It's News)

The Obama Administration wants Congress to vote on the Iran nuclear agreement, but is refusing to answer questions about Iran’s past history of killing Americans and Israelis.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked Secretary of State John Kerry questions regarding how many Americans and Israelis have been killed by Iran forces since the country’s 1979 revolution, but has yet to receive a concrete answer. Rubio asked the question, in various forms, on three occasions and received written replies that danced around the issue.

The responses, obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon, were sent to Rubio as Congress prepares to battle along partisan lines on the Iranian nuclear deal. More than $100 billion in assets are expected to be unfrozen under the terms of the deal. The U.S. will also lift sanctions that have been in place for decades. There are concerns among elected officials and military experts that money going to Iran will fund ongoing terror operations.

Rubio first asked how many U.S. citizens have been killed by Iran and its terrorist proxies since 1979. Kerry failed to give a number.

“The death of any U.S. citizen due to acts of terrorism is a tragedy that we take very seriously,” Kerry wrote. He further stated that “a nuclear-armed Iran is a danger to Israel, American and the world.”

Rubio then asked how many U.S. soldiers have been killed by weapons provided by Iran or by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Afghanistan. Kerry wrote that the agreement isn’t about changing the U.S relationship with Iran, but about eliminating a nuclear threat.

“We are extraordinarily grateful for the service of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, and we mourn the loss of every service member,” Kerry said in his response.

Finally, Rubio asked how many Israelis were killed by Iran or its terrorist proxies since 1979. Kerry responded that the goal of the deal is to eliminate a nuclear threat.

“But the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) cannot erase decades of Iranian anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric and actions,” Kerry concluded.

One who understands the seriousness of the number of deaths and injuries is Staff Sgt. Robert Bartlett, who was injured in 2005. He is appearing in a commercial urging for a vote against the Iranian deal.

“I was blown up by an Iranian bomb,” Bartlett said in the ad to urge citizens to call their senators.

“Every politician who’s involved in this will be held accountable,” Bartlett said. “They will have blood on their hands. A vote for this deal means more money for Iranian terrorism.”

Kerry’s responses have drawn criticism on Capitol Hill, with Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, stating the administration’s failure to provide detailed numbers regarding Iran’s goals to kill Americans is “unconscionable.”

Some numbers came to light recently as U.S. Central Command declassified reports. Those reports showed 196 Americans died from Iranian explosively formed projectiles (EFPs). Since that report was released, military officials state the number of dead Americans from Iranian attacks and weapons stands at more than 500. That is the estimate of those killed while fighting between 2005 and 2011. The 500-plus number comes from Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, who testified during Senate confirmation hearings this summer.

The larger number includes what officials are calling Iranian “activities” and refers to other weapons beyond EFPs.

“There were rocket attacks and IRAM [improvised rocket-assisted munitions] among other tactics that also contributed to American soldier deaths,” explained Navy Cmdr. Kyle Raines.

  • Iran already has nukes.

    • Right, Rohanni said “more than five, but less than ten”

    • why does everyone avoid the elephant in the room.. Israel and their 300 – 700 undeclared nuclear weapons??

    • Obviously. Reagan sold it to them in the 80s

  • How many Americans did the dancing mossads kill on 9/11?
    America should have that question answered first………..

    Why does our government do NOTHING BUT LIE, LIE, LIE….

    Israel has 200 nukes………Pakistan has nukes….what difference does it make if Iran has nukes, they probably already have them anyway…it’s all just a big fat lie….

    US/Nato want Iran to supply gas to EU rather than Russia is probably closer to the truth about the deal.

  • Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked Secretary of State John Kerry questions regarding how many Americans and Israelis have been killed by Iran forces since the country’s 1979 revolution..

    A better question is how many people in how many countries has the UNITED STATES killed/murdered since 1979?? the number would astound you! hint, it’s in the millions!

  • ISRAEL SHOULD BE NUKED!

  • AllRoadsLead2NWO

    The US got really worried when Iran captured intact and out of mid air one of our drones. The US freaked because they didn’t know that Iran has this technology using what they believe was ‘tractor beam’ and safely over took our drone. The reason why this freaked them out- believe it or not- my understanding is that this is ‘alien-technology’. In other words- they also have made contact and recovered downed alien craft, purportedly just like the USA, Russia, etc. Remember in the recent past-Iranian leaders saying the US government is controlled by “tall white aliens”- whatever right? It’s the same thing that Snowden- also said that he recovered in some of his hacked documents. Who knows- remember the 1952 Washington incident though-the whole world saw- for consecutive weekends, and the Air Force still tried to deny it and Eisenhower’s- purported meeting, in which shorty after he ordered “in god we trust” put on all of our Federal Reserve Currency and coin’s. The truth is probably- much stranger than fiction.

  • Israhell should be the main topic when talking about nukes, and then the USA. Israhell should not be a nation, and if one believes so based on some mumbo jumbo they speak then it should also not be for it will not define its borders. You cannot be a nation without defining your borders. One would also think a nation would have some form of constitution or written laws for all the people rather then the so called chosen ones, only chosen by Satan, but hey whats wrong with a little stretch of the imagination? Israhell and some Americans and especially its stinking rotten to the core politicians, should be the last friend the USA has when you consider the reasons, and I will make it a short list. The USS Liberty, 34 killed 174 wounded on their attack on the USS Liberty. The spying Israhell has done to the USA is countless, and then of course there is one still in the minds and eyes of most Sept.11,2001. Now if you question that they would do these things, then you must look at Mossad’s motto, BY DECEPTION Thou Shall Make War. Now as for the USA and its nukes, who has the most in the world, and who is the only nation not only to use them and kill hundreds of thousands in the blink of an eye? and since that time, they admit they were thinking of using them since in conflicts, and I question whether they have not already done so with mini nukes. How anyone can explain to me or anyone with a brain that we can have what we want but you cannot have the same is beyond not only stupidity, but borders on the most hypocritical statement known to mankind. If you did not do the bidding of the Jew, if you did not piss off other nations and peoples, if you did not meddle where you don’t belong, if you did not try to rule the world and or play mommy and daddy or big brother to all, if you instead tried to be friends with all and enemies to none like Jefferson said, then maybe just maybe another nation having weapons that you have would not be a threat to you and yours.

  • IRAN IS NOT THE PROBLEM. The problem is the cancer of insaniacs (my new word), who are running Israel, the central banks, most major corporations and who have successfully hijacked or nation. It’s high time to point the finger of blame at the “true” perpetrators of this global insanity. It’s not just the Jews…there’s plenty of insaniacs from every tribe guilty of participating in the madness and they all need to drawn and quartered if convicted by our courts…not theirs.
