President Obama faced mounting bipartisan pressure on Friday to drop his resistance to an Iran sanctions bill after Tehran announced a new generation of equipment to enrich uranium -- a move the Israelis claimed was further proof the regime seeks nuclear weapons.

One of the president's top Democratic allies is leading the charge for Congress to pass sanctions legislation, despite the president's pleas to stand down. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., told Fox News that the "Iranians are showing their true intentions" with their latest announcement.

"If you're talking about producing more advanced centrifuges that are only used to enrich uranium at a quicker rate ... the only purposes of that and the only reason you won't give us access to [a military research facility] is because you're really not thinking about nuclear power for domestic energy -- you're thinking about nuclear power for nuclear weapons," he said.

On Friday, the Embassy of Israel in Washington released a statement reiterating their call for Iran to halt enrichment and remove the infrastructure behind it.

"Installing additional advanced centrifuges shows that Iran intends to develop a nuclear bomb -- and to speed up the process of achieving it," the statement said.

Obama said. "We'll know if they are violating the terms of the agreement. They're not allowed to accelerate their stockpile of enriched uranium."

There you go folks, even Obama admits the billions that are to be given to Iran and now allowing them to purchase sensitive equipment after Obama released their head nuclear scientist from U.S. prison gets us a promise by Iran that they won't "Accelerate" their stockpile of enriched uranium, continuing at the same pace is acceptable. But even during the talks Iran has announced they are "Accelerating" their stockpile of enriched uranium, Obama claims it doesn't matter, trust him on this one. Even Obama's top Democratic ally Bob Menendez says Obama is doing the wrong thing and he'll support Republicans in stopping him.

Iran's nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said late Thursday that the country is building a new generation of centrifuges for accelerated uranium enrichment. He said the system still needs further tests before the centrifuges can be mass produced. His comments appeared aimed at countering hard-liner criticism by showing the nuclear program is moving ahead and has not been halted by the accord.

Reading the news of the past several weeks, the Saudis are fairly pissed off at their fellow Muslim Obongo as well. It doesn't get much play, but the Saudis are mortal enemies of the Iranians, nearly as much so as the Israelis. To the point that the Israelis and the Saudis are working, albeit quietly, together against Iran and Obongo.
This promises to get interesting.
And, sometime in the near future, loud.

The deal with Iran helped Iran, but made Obama seem weak and foolish.

Are you really that naive to believe Iran will never have a nuclear weapon???

Look up the definition of Non Sequitur. A lot of what goes on around you passes right by, doesn't it? This is why you are a liberal, you don't stop to think. Just react with an emotion driven knee jerk.

And no, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, if Israel and Saudi Arabia have anything to say about it. And despite the best efforts of your Messiah to help them achieve one.

North Korea already has one and its a matter of time before Iran will develop one regardless of who's president.

Its not a matter of if but when.

Given Obama's implicit aid, Iran is marching very steadily toward having a nuclear weapon.

Really now, they get to select what sites are inspected, that's naivete.

Getting to inspect some of the sites is better than not getting to inspect any, at least it's a start.

Well, I hope that is correct and that I'm wrong.

However, international politics is interest defined in terms of power, and Iran almost surely got the better of the US in that "deal."

When has Kerry ever been much less than nutty in foreign policy?

Some of us recall Kerry trashing an entire generation of veterans -- his and mine -- before Congress, based on "fact" which later were revealed to be lies.

It's not only naivete, it's laughable. Imagine a thug telling the police, you can search this pocket for drugs but not this one, being considered acceptable and proof they don't have drugs on them. Obama doesn't care if Iran gets nukes, he is only asking they don't disclose they have them until after the 2014 elections. Anyone who doesn't get that, is mentally sick.
