The Framework Deal Is a Deception
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - IDF Col. (ret.) Yigal Carmon, president of the Middle East Media Research Institute and one of the foremost experts on Iran, says the joint statement issued in Lausanne, Switzerland, "was nothing but a smokescreen meant to disguise difficult, ongoing disagreements between the parties....If you read the Lausanne statement word for word, you see it amounts to no agreement." "The first time I read the American fact sheet it looked amazing and fantastic, too good to be true....But then at the end of the day, it turned out that the fantastic achievement...didn't last even 36 hours....When the American fact sheet was first brought to the attention of the Iranian foreign minister, he said it was a media spin. Later on he and his deputy bluntly challenged John Kerry by saying the fact sheet was false. The Iranians ended up releasing their own, very detailed fact sheet, indicating that there are substantial gaps between the two documents."
