Retired Army Col. Derek Harvey, former adviser to Gen. David
Petraeus, agreed.
"It's very credible," he told Hayworth of Vallely. "I was a
ballistic missile analyst for North Korea. I also worked on national
intelligence estimates dealing with Iran and North Korea and nuclear
aspirations.
"What he says I will not doubt that it has a great deal of truth to
it, but we just need to see what is really going to develop in the
future," Harvey said. "Right now, what is in the deal is very
concerning as it pertains to ballistic missiles.
"You don't need long-range ballistic missiles for conventional
warheads. The only reason they have these intercontinental missiles
that they're developing is for a nuclear-delivery capability."
He added that "we need to treat Iran much differently with greater
level of suspicion and doubt."
Vallely joined
nearly 200 retired military generals and admirals
in sending a letter to congressional leaders this week urging them
to oppose the Iran nuclear deal after Congress returns from its
recess next month.
He said the military leaders released the letter "so that people can
contact their congressmen, their senators and prevent this deal from
even being signed.
"I know what's going to happen," Vallely added, referencing Iran.
"They're going to continue to target Israel, launch an attack — and
then launch an attack against the United States, because we are
their enemies.
"That's why we said in the article that this is aiding and abetting
the enemy of the United States, which is a treasonous event under
our Constitution."
He said that the actions of President Barack Obama, Secretary of
State John Kerry and top presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett were
"really bordering on treasonous grounds right now."
