So, Guy has been very prolific in dissecting and documenting the highly flawed Iranian nuclear agreement, which gave the Obama White House some breathing room regarding possibly using military options to prevent this state-sponsor of terror from acquiring nuclear weapons. Well, as negotiations were occurring between the Iranians, then-Secretary of State John Kerry, and the four other nations that make up the permanent wing of the United Nationals Security Council, the Obama White House hid information that Iran was transporting militants to Syria in order to push through the agreement (via Washington Free Beacon):
The Obama administration likely hid information about Iran illicitly ferrying militants into Syria on commercial aircraft in order to promote the landmark nuclear deal and foster multi-billion dollar business deals with Tehran's state-controlled airline sector, according to lawmakers and other sources familiar with the matter.
The Washington Free Beacon first disclosed last week that congressional leaders are calling for an investigation into Iran for using its state-controlled air carrier, Iran Air, to ferry militant fighters into Syria, where they are taking up arms in defense of embattled President Bashar al-Assad.
Photographs provided to Congress show Iran using Iran Air to ferry these soldiers between 2016 and 2017, in part when the Obama administration removed sanctions on Iran Air and promoted multi-billion dollars sales between the carrier and aircraft manufacturer Boeing, which is seeking to provide Iran Air with a fleet of new planes that many suspect will be used to carry terrorist fighters and weapons into regional hotspots.
This behavior violates international laws governing the nuclear deal and has now led lawmakers and others to accuse the Obama administration of downplaying Iran's illicit activity in order to promote the nuclear deal and ensure Tehran receives a new commercial fleet.

So, we have this latest development, which is after the Iranians have been caught cheating on the agreement and after we paid them a $400 million ransom to release four detained Americans. Yes, smart power at play here in all of his disastrous glory.
