“She said the United States ‘was forced into negotiating’ the deal with Iran due do the ‘failure of the U.S. policy of sanctions and threats.'” Actually the sanctions were working fine to limit Iran’s activities, and the threats are all coming from the Iranians, not from anyone else.
“Iran: The Americans Had ‘No Option’ Besides a Deal,” by Elad Benari, Arutz Sheva, September 12, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):
Iran’s foreign ministry said on Friday that the United States had no option but to strike a nuclear deal with Tehran, after a Republican bid to block the agreement failed, AFP reports.
President Barack Obama hailed as a “victory for diplomacy” Thursday’s Senate vote during which a Democratic minority staved off the bid to sink the nuclear deal.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham, however, played down his comments saying it was “explicitly paradoxical,” the official IRNA news agency reported.
She said the United States “was forced into negotiating” the deal with Iran due do the “failure of the U.S. policy of sanctions and threats”.
“The U.S. president, fruitlessly, tries to claim the results of the nuclear negotiations, but the truth is … the U.S. had no alternative but giving up its excessive demands,” Afkham claimed, according to AFP.
“The world would definitely be safer when the U.S. administration ends its authoritarian behavior and prevents the destabilizing and warmongering actions by its allies,” she added.
Afkham was taking a jibe at Obama who also said that the Senate vote was a “victory… for the safety and security of the world”.
Even after the signing of the deal with the West, Iranian leaders have continued their anti-Western rhetoric. The Islamic Republic has continued to gloat over what it sees as western powers’ “surrender” to Iran by agreeing to the agreement….

American says
Iran has every reason to gloat; they made absolute fools out of the US – thanks to Obama.
Jay Boo says
People think that this deal is rigged and was from the beginning.
Because it is.

mitch -LIMPDIK -mcconell THE TRATORUS MAJORITY “LEADER” IN THE SEMATE IS AS MUCH OF A PIECE OF GARBAGE AS THE punk-in-chief WHO PUSHED THIS OUTRAGEOUS “Deal.”
mictch -LIMPDIK- mcconnell MADE DEALS WITH THIS PUNK-IN-CHIEF WHEN IT BECAME APPARENT THE LIMPDIK WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THE BLOCKING ROLE IN THE SENATE.
mitch -LIMDICK -mcConnell WILL HAVE BLOOD ON HIS HANDS AS A RESULT OF THIS “DEAL” MUCH LIKE THE punk-in-chief.
Dr. Divinity says
Sanctions of a different kind should be put in place….Overthrown the present hard line regime or face total destruction.
Jay Boo says
Obama has some new ayatollah friends
“Greetings, infidels prepare to die!”
Relax, this is merely how the ayatollah says hi.
Hugs and many kisses, he offers the US his very best of death wishes.
Time is up on the ‘dialog’ charade; it is time again for a weekly Death to America parade.
“Death to America with hate.”
Surely, they mean it in a nice way?
Hugs with many kisses, Heel and Toe.
There goes Obama and ayatollah K line dancing the Boot Scootin Boogie.
The flies are buzzing fast and low.
Look out! There are fresh piles of Islam on the dance floor.
Mark says
Yes obama is partying because almost all of the Dems voted on his party lines. But most of all the Reps gave in to his demands for the deal at the start. They handcuffed themselves by giving obama what he asked for
Angemon says
No! Really? Gee, who could have imagined THAT…? sarc./ off

Wicked witch of iran: “We’ll get you and all your little dogs too…cackle, cackle, cackle.”
Wonder what she did to her finger? Her evil insides have spilled out all over.
(Revelation 13)
CogitoErgoSum says
The bandage on the witch’s finger? Ha … that’s where the little dog bit her. Dogs have a keen instinct and a special ability to recognize evil. That’s why Muhammad never liked being around one of them.
Don Foss says
Od course neither Obama nor Kerry even considered the best option: “F off and we’re ramping up the sanctions. Good luck trying to survive.”
Wellington says
She’s just one more deluded Muslim. And, thus, so what? Deluded Muslims (sorry for the redundancy) are all over the place.
Far more important, infinitely so, is that the present occupant of the Oval Office is either a fool or a traitor or both.
abad says
Deluded and insane.
Westman says
It’s true that sometimes America has no choice such as if Israel starts bombing Fordow and Natanz, because Iran didn’t stop bomb development, it will be forced to back them up.
El says
Is it just me or does she look like the ‘engineer’ from the move Prometheus? lol
Indian says
What a dumb women, she lost her soul by wearing that burqa, shame on this women. Islam makes her to cover up to be a slave still she respect that religion. Muslim pigs Israel will nuke you.
Gamaliel says
The Chinese and the Russians kept cheating on the sanctions when they were in place so essentially there were no sanctions.
bullfrogger says
all iranians know they won and all Americans except Obama and the left know we lost . I am afraid but curious about just how bad he has to get before liberals utter a single word against him . Just how do they rationalize and blindly follow such a criminal ? How do they openly enable the same people who are the worst offenders of every principle they say they believe in? .They ignorantly flip the world upside down and then strut around like peacocks as if it is a good thing . If it ever comes down to the lowest level I will treat them as if they are the enemy in every way .
