Jewish Groups Raise Concerns on Iran Nuclear Deal
(JNS.org) White House national security officials tried to assuage American Jewish leaders about the nuclear deal with Iran in several conference calls this week. Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said there is "every reason to be skeptical when you're dealing with the Iranians." "Their history is one of deception, manipulation, lying...and there's nothing to indicate a change....[Iranian President] Rouhani...was the key interlocutor from 2003 to 2007, and he wrote a book where he clearly proclaims how he lied, distorted, and manipulated in order to buy time for them to move ahead with their nuclear program."
