John Kerry Admits Iran Nuclear Deal Will Fund Terrorism

<p>On Thursday&comma; Secretary of State John Kerry admitted that some of the &dollar;55 billion in sanctions relief that will go to Iran will eventually end up in the hands of terrorists&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&ldquo&semi;I think that some will end up in the hands of the IRGC &lpar;Iran&rsquo&semi;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard&rpar; or of other entities&comma; some of which are labeled terrorists&comma;&rdquo&semi; Kerry stated&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Although he said that at this point&comma; he has no reason to believe that any of the funds given to Iran so far have gone to terrorists&comma; he believes it will be impossible to prevent it from getting to terrorists in the future&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Iran is one of the largest backers of terrorism in the world&comma; however Kerry claims they have an incredibly small military budget compared to the rest of the area&period; While Iran spends around &dollar;15 billion a year on its military&comma; the Saudis spend about &dollar;80 billion&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Despite these numbers&comma; the Congressional Research Service released a report last year that found Iran may actually spend upwards of &dollar;30 billion and not report the funds that go towards supporting terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>It is hard to see the upside to a deal with a country that is a known supporter of terrorism and will now get billions of dollars as a result of the agreement&period; It is inconceivable as to why John Kerry would support a deal that he acknowledges will be used to fund terrorism in one way or the other&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
