Father Whose Son Was Killed by Iranian Bomb: Iran Deal is a Bad Deal

Written by Jonah Bennett

Patrick Farr, the father of a soldier who was killed in Iraq by an Iranian-made bomb, thinks that a nuclear deal with Iran spells disaster for peace, and he’s concerned that the Obama administration doesn’t care.

Fellow patriots, please listen to this short, inspiring message from General Flynn. General Michael Flynn exemplifies patriotism, courage, and love of God and country - despite some of his own countrymen relentlessly attacking him. Donations for his defense are greatly appreciated. If you can only give $5.00, please do so - every little bit helps. Thank you so much, and God bless. Letter from General Flynn.

“[A] pickup pulled up in front of the house and had a soldier in it,” Patrick Farr recounted in the video produced by Veterans Against the Deal, a group of Iraq war veterans. “I knew what he was about to tell me, and I asked him if he could just tell me that my son had been wounded. But he said he couldn’t do that. He’d been killed that morning. And my whole world changed.”

Veterans Against the Deal, a 501c(4), hopes to persuade members of Congress into the opposition camp. According to people like Farr, the inevitable result of a nuclear deal with Iran is more terror and violence, which serves to break Obama’s framing of the issue, namely that the pro-deal camp will produce peace and the anti-deal camp will just result in additional conflict.

Obama thinks that Iran will allocate most of the funds to bolster its stagnant economy when sanctions are dropped. In the past, he argued that the nuclear deal is separate from Iran’s mischief in the region, but recently updated his position and hopes that the deal with prompt some level of behavior modification.

“The Iranian nuclear deal will allow Iran to have their funding back,” Farr stated. “They will be able to continue to fund terrorism. The administration must not really care about what Iran has done on the terrorism front to kill American soldiers. They’ve just completely forgotten.”

Executive Director of Veterans Against the Deal Michael Pregent wants to make sure that no one forgets.

“Opposition to this dangerous deal doesn’t just come from soldiers with direct experience of Iranian terrorism — it also comes from bereaved families who live forever with the anguish and loss caused by Iranian terror, and who wish to prevent others from experiencing what they have to live with every day,” Pregent said in a statement.
