OBAMA on HISTORIC IRAN DEAL - Claims It Will Make The World Safer

 
The Obama administration had delayed the step for more than two weeks during tense negotiations to free five American prisoners, according to people familiar with the matter. Iran conducted a precision-guided test last October, violating a U.N. ban.

"This is a good day because once again we are seeing what’s possible through strong American diplomacy," Obama said at the "These things are a reminder of what we can achieve when we lead with strength and with wisdom." Iranian President Hassan Rouhani hailed the deal as a "golden page" in Iran's history and said the agreement could be used as a model to resolve other regional issues.

A Swiss plane took Jason Rezaian, the Washington Post's Tehran bureau chief; Saeed Abedini, a pastor from Idaho; and Amir Hekmati, a former U.S. Marine from Flint, Michigan, as well as some family members, from Tehran to Geneva, Switzerland.

A fifth prisoner, American student Matthew Trevithick, was released separately on Saturday, a U.S. official said. Last weekend ten US Navy personnel were caught in Iranian waters, as the kept changing its story on how they got there. It could have been a disaster for President Obama’s big gamble on diplomacy over conflict with Iran. But after several rounds of telephone diplomacy between Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif, the Iranian leadership – which we are told by the neocons is too irrational to even talk to – did a most rational thing: weighing the costs and benefits they decided it made more sense not to belabor the question of what an armed US Naval was doing just miles from an Iranian base. Instead of escalating, the Iranian fed the sailors and sent them back to their base in Bahrain.

Then on Saturday, the Iranians released four Iranian-Americans from prison, including Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian. On the US side, seven Iranians held in US, including six who were dual citizens, were granted clemency. The seven were in prison for seeking to trade with Iran in violation of the decades-old US economic sanctions. 2 Americans believed detained in Iran are not among those coming home
