Related: About this forumKerry to Demand that Iran “Cease and Desist” From Sending Missiles to Hamas
The Jerusalem Post reports today that Secretary of State John Kerry, who is in Vienna for a final push to reach a permanent nuclear deal with Iran, will ask Irans Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to have his country stop sending rockets to Hamas.
An administration source was quoted:
Iran has a longstanding record of supplying weapons, rockets, to various terror groups in Gaza, including Hamas, one senior Obama administration official said from Vienna. Those rockets are being used to fire at civilian areas, and Iran has a responsibility to cease and desist from continuing to supply weapons in this conflict.
........
........
A recent United Nations report cited by the Wall Street Journal cited Irans critical role in fueling Middle East terror. Kerrys intent to challenge Zarif on this point implicitly shows that it is increasingly difficult to overlook Irans role as an international sponsor of terror in the context of the nuclear negotiations.

I was being facetious, Kerry needs to say what he does, and I do hope for the greater good

Iran has already had so many sanctions put on them that I think at this point, they just don't care what any other country says. Let's hope this works, but I doubt it.

does not allow break downs to occur in making a deal with Iran.
