An American political analyst says that there is nothing certain about the future of Iran nuclear agreement especially after the US presidential election in 2016.

Stephen Lendman, an author and a radio host, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Friday when asked about two hawkish US senators, who have vowed to have a "rigorous" oversight of the Iran nuclear accord -- the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) -- before it is formally implemented.

Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Ben Cardin (D-Md.), the committee's ranking member, wrote a letter to President Barack Obama on Thursday providing outlines of their plan for probing the agreement reached between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries � the US, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany � in Vienna, Austria, on July 14.

Lendman said the future of the agreement is uncertain since nobody knows who will be the next US president and what political party will control Congress.

�My great concern is that once the agreement is implemented, America will have an election in November of 2016, eleven months away, there will be a new president, there will be new members of Congress, we don�t know at this point which party will control Congress,� he said, adding US �long-standing hostility against Iran continues.�

He went on to say that �the real issue is not Iran�s nuclear program which America and other western countries know full well has no military component.�

�The issue led by America is (that) Iran is an independent country (but) America tolerates no independent countries, especially resource-rich ones like Iran, Iraq, before the war in 2003, the early one in 2001, Venezuela, which is still independent.�

�All of these countries, specially again, the independent ones, are targeted by America for regime change,� he stated.

�America wants pro-Western governments replacing the independent governments and that�s really the bottom line of everything going on,� he noted.

�So, despite the Iran nuclear agreement, nothing is certain, the future is very uncertain in terms of US-Iranian relations and I�m very very dubious about exactly what would take place and very worrisome about the effects on Iran going forward,� Lendman concluded.
