There was nothing but jubilant faces coming out of the P5+1 meeting on November 24. The Joint Plan of Action was signed, whereby Iran would supposedly halt its progression toward creating a nuclear bomb while still being allowed to have nuclear energy. Triumphant, President Obama proclaimed, “For the first time in nearly a decade, we have halted the progress of the Iranian nuclear program, and key parts of the program will be rolled back.”

However, over a month later, there is ample evidence to show just how wrong the president was and how little the Iranians care for the promises made in the Geneva deal. Statements from Iran’s leadership that run opposite to the Geneva promises should cause us all to pay attention. Most leaders in the West—particularly America—aren’t willing to face the facts. Are you?

We Will Not Enrich Uranium Beyond 20 Percent

The first supposed promise of the Geneva deal that should be noted is that of enriching uranium. For its energy purposes, Iran need only enrich to 5 percent; for medical uses, it must be 20 percent. When it comes to weapons-grade uranium, enrichment must be at least 90 percent, which is relatively simple once 20 percent enrichment has been achieved.

In the Geneva deal, Iran promised to cap its enrichment at 5 percent. Following the deal in Geneva, President Obama told the world that “Iran has committed to halting certain levels of enrichment.” But can we all breathe a collective sigh of relief? Not when we hear what Iran has to say.

“The structure of our nuclear program has been maintained and the 20 percent enrichment can be resumed in less than 24 hours,” Mohammad Javad Zarif told Iranian students in Tehran. So if Iran wants to disregard the Geneva deal, it will take less than a day to do so.

And the decision to enrich to higher levels may be closer than many realize. Members of the Iranian parliament are hard at work to counter the Geneva deal. Over a third of Iran’s parliament signed a bill introduced on January 1 that, “if approved, will oblige the government to … enrich uranium to 60 percent level in order to provide fuel for submarine engines if the sanctions are tightened,” according to Iran’s Press TV website.

“The bill is aimed at giving an upper hand to our government and the negotiating team. … It will allow the government to continue our nuclear program if the Geneva deal fails,” irna quoted Hossein Taghavi Hosseini, spokesman for parliament’s National Security and Foreign Affairs committee, as saying.

Tehran isn’t going to play by the rules. It is too savvy. It has no intention of stopping its nuclear program. It is using the reprieve the Geneva talks provided to prepare itself for a confrontation when the six months are over. It is planning for when the Geneva talks fail.

We Will Not Continue Work at the Arak Plutonium Facility

“Iran will halt work at its plutonium reactor.” So says President Obama, who is confident that Iran’s second path to nuclear weapons—a plutonium core nuclear bomb—is now shut down. Does Iran think the same thing?

Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, Javad Zarif said, “Capacity at the Arak site is not going to increase. It means no new nuclear fuel will be produced and no new installations will be installed, but construction will continue there.”

Just like the enrichment bill, this sounds like Iran is preparing for large-scale work in the future. While the plant may not produce fuel now, why continue construction unless Iran has bigger plans for the plant in the future?

The Iranians are exploiting loopholes in the Geneva deal. While work can’t be done at the facility for six months (when the six months actually begins nobody knows), Iran can still build the parts off-site and then simply install them at the end of that period.

We Will Not Install New Centrifuges, and Will Reduce Centrifuges at Fordow and Natanz

“Iran cannot install or start up new centrifuges, and its production of centrifuges will be limited.” That is what President Obama told us all after the deal was signed.

Yet the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, said on December 27, “A new generation of centrifuges is being built.” Maybe our leaders thought Iran didn’t need to add to the 19,000 centrifuges it already had. But according to Salehi, Iran has no intention of stopping with its production.

The speed at which Iran is breaking its promises is matched only by its speed at proceeding with its nuclear aspirations.

“The burden is on Iran to prove to the world that its nuclear program will be exclusively for peaceful purposes,” Obama warned. But is the burden falling on Iran? Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry explains:

Churchill kept crying out as a voice in the wilderness of political confusion. There was still a possibility, Churchill believed, of preserving peace. “Never must we despair,” he said, “never must we give in, but we must face facts and draw true conclusions from them.” It was now essential for Britain to retrieve “the woeful miscalculations of which we are at present the dupes, and of which, unless we take warning in time, we may someday be the victims” (Martin Gilbert, The Prophet of Truth).We are not facing the facts. Our people are being duped by leaders who want to hear “smooth things” in a world filled with unparalleled dangers.

Churchill warned of the rise of Nazi Germany that men like Neville Chamberlain failed to acknowledge. Mr. Flurry proclaimed a similar warning in 2008—as seen in the excerpt above. How much worse is the situation today? Iran is on the cusp of obtaining nukes! Hitler never had what Iran is so close to achieving. Trumpet columnist Brad Macdonald explains:

Most obviously, Adolf Hitler didn’t have an advanced nuclear weapons program. Hitler led a ruthless regime bent on extinguishing tens of millions, but he had to do it the long, hard way—with troops, tanks, and gas chambers. Iran’s mullahs have similar genocidal ambitions. While they may not have the military physique of Nazi Germany, they are on the cusp of owning something Hitler could only dream about: A means of instant mass extermination. Imagine Chamberlain letting Hitler acquire nuclear weapons. That’s what happened in Geneva.

Just like those dark days of World War ii, most world leaders today are blind to the dangers. They believe that Iran will keep its promises, just as Chamberlain believed Hitler would keep his. Yet repeatedly, Iran is showing that it has no intention of abiding by the promises it made at Geneva.

The fulfillment of Daniel 11:40 is woven throughout Iran’s actions. Iran is the prophesied king of the south, supported by other radical Islamic nations. When Iran dashes for the nuclear bomb, we should all pay close attention. The prophesied rise of the king of the south is one of the early signs of the coming Great Tribulation. The war against the king of the north will be the initial conflict that will drag the world into the horrors of World War iii. That is why you must be aware of what is happening in Iran today.

Order and read a copy of our booklet The King of the South to gain a comprehensive understanding of what is going on in Iran and where the deadly conflict is headed. You may be surprised by the ultimate positive outcome that will result from man being brought to repentance after years of suffering.
