Iran watch: Latest 'gotcha' proves Iran cannot be trusted

It is getting tiresome talking about it.

The failures of the Obama administration's foreign policy are becoming legendary.

But this time, it is serious.

The deal in the works with the Iranian government regarding nuclear science and weapons requires a certain amount of trust.

We must be able to see that the nation is using nuclear technology for the benefit of the people -- not for weaponry.

But the recent discovery that Iran is funneling weapons to Yemen rebels in defiance of the government we are backing suggests that perhaps we ought to rethink our plan to give Iran the benefit of the doubt.

Our Arab allies have warned us that Iran cannot be trusted -- with a weapon or in a negotiation.

So, why are we trusting them?

The latest events suggest once again that the White House needs to stay away from foreign policy -- and underlines the claims that perhaps the president is a little too forgiving with our enemies and little too ready to ignore on our allies.

The bottom line is that there seems to be a blunder at every turn.

And those are mistakes we cannot afford -- especially when a nuclear program is involved.
