Former VP Cheney: Iran Is Weeks Away From Nuclear Weapons Capability


Former Vice President Dick Cheney is not a fan of President Obama’s domestic and foreign policies, but he’s even a greater criticizer on Obama’s conduct handling the Iranian nuclear threat, an issue he himself dealt with as a partner with President George W. Bush.

In a wide range interview with Neal Cavuto on Fox Business Network Monday night, Mr. Cheney said he’s not impressed with the recent deal reached with Iran in Geneva. “I have grave doubts about the deal. I don’t think the Iranians have given up anything,” he said. “The Iranians have been down this road before and they stretch out the negotiations, and in the mean time they are very busy improving their enrichment capabilities.”

The former Vice president also assessed that Iran is very close in reaching the red line Prime Minister Netanyahu set forward at the UN in 2012, reaching nuclear weaponization capabilities. “I think they are very close, able to break out in a matter of weeks,” he said. “They are buying time.”

In an interview on Fox and Friends Monday morning, Vice President Cheney expressed serious concerns about President Obama’s credibility in the agreement with Iran, due to the unkept Obamacare promises.

“A deal has now been cut by the same people that brought us ‘you can keep your insurance if you want.’ Now they are telling us they’ve got a great deal on Iran with respect to their nuclear program. I don’t believe it,” said Cheney.
