“If they modify their policies, correct errors committed in these 37 years and apologize to the Iranian people, the situation will change and good things can happen.” Like maybe they’ll stop chanting “Death to America”?
“Iran threatens to end nuclear deal,” by Ari Yashar, Israel National News, November 13, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threatened on Thursday to abandon the nuclear deal, if the US imposes any new sanctions unrelated to Tehran’s nuclear program.
“The obligations are the following: the group of six will not impose new sanctions, and we should fulfill the agreements. In case the Unites States or other countries fail to comply with their obligations, we will be forced to do the same,” Rouhani told the Italian Corriere della Sera paper according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
Rouhani went on to say Iran is in dispute with the US, given Tehran’s demands that all sanctions against it be lifted as part of the nuclear deal. The US maintains that the nuclear deal only has nuclear sanctions lifted but not others – such as those over Iran’s rampant human rights abuses, its ballistic missile program and active support of terror as the leading state sponsor of terror.
The ultimatum comes just days after it was revealed Tuesday that Iran has stopped dismantling its centrifuges at the Natanz and Fordow uranium enrichment plants, breaching the nuclear deal that calls for the dismantling.
It also recently bought a plane to deploy troops in Syria in violation of sanctions still in place in the nuclear deal.
The deal has been sharply criticized, both for allowing Iran to inspect its own covert nuclear sites and for having an end date at which time Iran will be able to freely build a nuclear arsenal.
“The US must apologize”
In his comments to the Italian paper on Thursday, Rouhani went on to say ties with America could be repaired – if the US “apologizes.”
“If they modify their policies, correct errors committed in these 37 years and apologize to the Iranian people, the situation will change and good things can happen.”
In Iran millions regularly hold protests against the US chanting “Death to America,” and ironically the nuclear deal was reached just days after Iran’s annual “Death to Israel” day when America was similarly demonized and US flags were burned throughout the country….

Let’s write our apology on the side of a Minuteman missile, with 24 minute delivery.

I wonder if any U.S. Navy submarines are deployed in the Persian Gulf. Or are things to tight in there?
Daniel Triplett says
There is plenty of room in the Persian Gulf for our subs.
A modern US Carrier Strike Group (CSG) usually includes a Los Angeles-class attack submarine in a direct support role seeking out and destroying hostile surface ships and submarines. I don’t believe they carry nuke warheads.
However, we could easily put an Ohio-class sub, or a Ballistic Missile sub in there, armed with nukes. They could put bombs on Iranian targets within 3 to 4 minutes.

Weakness is the edge of a bottomless pit. Look at Europe.

I think he should require Obama to crawl on his belly, grovel before the Supreme Commander and Recite the Shahada, too! Honestly! This whole thing reveals such stupidity and naïveté on the part of the Obama administration that it is almost beyond belief! (I say “almost” because they are, after all, liberals, and Stupid is their middle name!)
Carolyne says
IMO if he required those things of Obama, Obama would comply.

I’ve always fretted that Barack and John would piss the Persians off somehow, those two are as stupid as they are pompous, can’t seem to do anything right, not even set up Israel for the fall. I think the Persians are disgusted with Barack because he is so clearly disloyal to the country he runs, plus he’s an apostate by Islamic law. They’re disgusted with John cuz he’s a documented war coward. But my guess is that they still hold out hope for Hillary, who when she’s president can bring Valerie and Huma back into play and finally get things moving on that OIC resolution.
But the twisted and queer thing is, even as the Persians publicly denounce and violate the “treaty” before it is approved, Congress will still trample the Constitution and sign it anyway. Plus, John rushed through rubber stamp approval from the World Government over at the UN so it’s all good, which gives Iran some legal paper with official stamps with which to publicly wipe their asses. Make sense?

Here is a win win win solution. Iran pulls out of Nuclear deal to show how powerful they are. USA can then claim they cannot be responsible for the consequences. Israel takes out the nuclear facilities: everything plus any military sites they can find. Iran can then have the biggest parade claiming hate for the world and Iran’s leaders will have a reason for hate for the first time since taking power. Nobody loses.

Except, don’t forget that Prez Barack Hussein as one of his first official acts nixed the completion of the deep bunker buster bomb project, which had been exactly designed for the requirements of the multiple subterranean weapon plants in Iran. Now, it could be that the project was secretly moved to Tel Aviv, but somehow I don’t think so. Or, it could be that the boys at the Pentagon moved it there without his permission, but based on their performance under Prez Hussein I doubt that too (see Petraeus, David). So then, how will there be several surgical strikes to disable the Persian bomb plants? It would seem that a sustained campaign, even possibly including ground operations, would be necessary. Looks to me like Ayatollah Ali — called Supreme Leader by Prez Barack, Sec’y John and former Sec’y and next Prez Hillary — sits in the catbird seat.
Daniel Triplett says
The Iranians built their facilities deep enough to survive our conventional bunker buster MOAB.
But our B61 Mod 11 nuclear bunker buster should take care of them. As would a standard 15 Megaton or greater nuke warhead detonated at the surface.
We have the capacity to easily eliminate the Iranian nuke program completely within minutes. All we need is the right CINC.
Joseph says
I hope Obama and Kerry both wipe their chins off after they please the Iranians.
Or maybe they will swallow.
Don McKellar says
Obama wipes it off, Kerry swallows.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Which proves that country club golfers are better people than sailboat guys.
Carolyne says
Kerry keeps it in his enormous chin. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Don McKellar says
There is nothing lasting coming out of the years of the Obama regime except for one thing: the advancement of Islam and jihad across the world.
Think about it. That’s all he’s done which will last. That’s his legacy.
Angemon says
Betcha they won’t. But Obama will probably bend over backwards even more to make sure it won’t happen. I bet he’d even give one of his daughters in marriage to seal the deal the Iranians demanded so.

“Like maybe they’ll stop chanting “Death to America”?”
Robert you are so so funny but to the point.
I would have likes to have the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani state exactly what policies he wants modified, what errors committed in the 37 years he wants corrected and what he wants the apology to the Iranian people. for.
citycat says
How about Hassan apologizes to all the persians that were forced into being muslims.
