Resolved: The Iranian Nuclear Deal is a "mistake."

Contention 1: Iranian Support of international terrorism. My opponent claims that I am incorrect, but that is not true as evidence from Wednesday that Iranian backed Hamas had recieved $500 million from Iran and had launched a bombardment of rockets at Israel from Golen Heights. [1] This coming just a little over a month after the breaking of the Iran Nuclear deal and it is not a huge suprise that this would occur as I have been warning of this the entire debate and now it occurs just two days ago to prove my point. Though Syria may look like a lost cause, but there is a mounting pile of evidence that shows other wise. With ISIS on the rise the Iranian intervention can easily serve Syria's best interest as they control most of Eastern Syria. Putin and the Iranians have pledged to support the Syrians despite any Western involement. Though it may be against Western interests to support Al-Asaad it is in their interests to take out Syria which can be a key involvement for Iran though their motives are different. [2] Contention 2: Iran is a threat to the US. "The nuclear program is one issue that we"re hoping to be able to halt, but also we see that Iran is still a state sponsor of terrorism," [John] Brennan said on Fox News Sunday. "And so what we have to do is to continue to keep pressure on Iran and to make sure that it is not able to continue to destabilize a number of the countries in the region. " [3] John Brennan, CIA director has reported that regardless of the deal, Iran will continue to fund terrorism and we need to keep the pressure on them before they continue to harm the US on this matter. Obama himself conceded on the matter that with some of this money will most likely be going to state sponsored terror in Syria or Yemin. [4] Critics have found that even if Iran uses 60% on roads Iran is going to fund terror. Hezbollah leader has even confirmed this himself saying that, "A rich and strong Iran" will be able to stand by its allies and friends, and the peoples of the region, especially the resistance in Palestine, more than in any time in the past. " [4] My opponent claims that he couldn't find anything on the US having to protect Iran, but if I can direct your attention to page 142, we can see that the US and all Western Allies have to protect Iran and their nuclear facilities even against Israel. My opponent claims that Iran is a very weak military power in the middle east, but if we look at Global Fire Power, a military strength measuring webstie, that according to the CIA that Iran is the 2nd strongest military power in the middle east only behind Israel. Saudi Arabia is third with war torn Syria at forth showing you the weakness of the militaries in the middle east. [5] Contention 3:Iran is close to getting the bomb. "Anyone can be trained to do the sampling," said Robert Kelley, the former director of the IAEA nuclear inspections in Iraq in 1992 and again in 2001. But what is more difficult to learn, he said, is how to spot machines and processes that point to militarization of nuclear material. "They [the inspectors] could come out and be questioned about the site and not have any idea about what they saw. " [6] Despite the IAEA being able to inspect Iran we can still see that the IAEA won't be able to inspect Iran properly. We can see that even though the IAEA is able to inspect Iranian soil, but even if they were to inspect something "suspicious" they wouldn't even know what they were looking at and Iran can easily be enriching Uranium and the world would just let it happen. My opponent is misquoting me. I state that they enriched up to 20% before the deal and what makes us think that we can trust Iran in this case? [6] I have shown in my previous rounds that despite UN and US sanctions the Iranians continued to enrich. Why should we trust Iran to follow through? For all we know is that Iran has either already has the bomb or that they won't follow through. If Russia or China disapproves of the "snapback" there won't be any repercussions outside of the US placing sanctions on Iran which Congress has threatend Iran with. Contention 4: Oil harming the US My opponent doesn't understand the long term market. Yes, the oil glut will lower prices of many US goods, but in the long run it hurts US. Why is this you may ask? It for the simple fact that it would force many domestic producers and when OPEC begins to tighten the spicek later the US will suffer. [7] OPEC has stepped up their competition recently due to the emerging of the US drilling again. This is an attempt of them to drive the US out of the oil business leading to higher prices in the long run. Iran's flooding of the market will only harm the US in the long run despite some cheaper goods in the short run. My opponent wants to stop Iran now without worrying in the long run. Contention 5: Middle Ground We have to observe that even though Iran wants to get equal nuclear footing with Israel we cannot allow this. As soon as Israel was an independent country much of the Islam world began to fight it. Much of the direct fighting has ended only because Israel had developed Nuclear weapons to scare off the other nations. There has been a decent amount of peace since then. The 6 Day war showed this to a great extent as the war ended once the Middle East discovered Israel's nuclear capability. We cannot allow Iran to get nuclear power as I have shown above that it will only result in Iran getting the bomb and increasing war against Israel. Contention 6: Renegotiating the Deal. My opponent is worrying over renegotiating this deal except we have to see that Congress has renegotiated over 200 Treaties in the past and this one would be no different. To further this Congress wouldn't be rejecting the deal, just reworking some of its framework. This already disproves my opponent's impact here. The US can renegotiate and fix all the issues that I have talked about and even completely get rid of the Iranian nuclear power and allow Turkey to become a power in the Middle East. This would also get them closer into the EU which the nation has wanted to but just failed to accomplish. [7] Sources 1. (. http://www.foxnews.com...) 2. (. http://world.time.com...) 3.
