Iran’s Supremo warns of retaliation if U.S. breaches nuclear deal

Nov 23, 2016 9:06 am By Robert Spencer

“The current U.S. government has breached the nuclear deal in many occasions. The latest is extension of sanctions for 10 years, that if it happens, would surely be against JCPOA, and the Islamic Republic would definitely react to it.”

I.e., let us get nuclear weapons, or we will kill you.

Who will blink? Khamenei or Trump?

Ali Khamenei

“Iran warns of retaliation if U.S. breaches nuclear deal – Khamenei website,” Reuters, November 23, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

BEIRUT, Nov 23 (Reuters) – Extending U.S. sanctions on Iran for 10 years would breach the Iranian nuclear agreement, Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said on Wednesday, warning that Tehran would retaliate if the sanctions are approved.

The U.S. House of Representatives re-authorized last week the Iran Sanctions Act, or ISA, for 10 years. The law was first adopted in 1996 to punish investments in Iran’s energy industry and deter Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

The Iran measure will expire at the end of 2016 if it is not renewed. The House bill must still be passed by the Senate and signed by President Barack Obama to become law.

Iran and world powers concluded the nuclear agreement, also known as JCPOA, last year. It imposed curbs on Iran’s nuclear program in return for easing sanctions that have badly hurt its economy.

“The current U.S. government has breached the nuclear deal in many occasions,” Khamenei said, addressing a gathering of members of the Revolutionary Guards, according to his website.

“The latest is extension of sanctions for 10 years, that if it happens, would surely be against JCPOA, and the Islamic Republic would definitely react to it.”

The U.S. lawmakers passed the bill one week after Republican Donald Trump was elected U.S. president. Republicans in Congress unanimously opposed the agreement, along with about two dozen Democrats, and Trump has also criticized it.

Lawmakers from both parties said they hoped bipartisan support for a tough line against Iran would continue under the new president.

President-elect Trump once said during his campaign that he would “rip up” the agreement, drawing a harsh reaction from Khamenei, who said if that happens, Iran would “set fire” to the deal….

    Oh he must mean the Nuclear “Deal” that Obama entered. The Worst negotiated Deal in the History of the World! The deal where Iran got everything they wanted and the rest of the world got nothing but the potential of nuclear attack from Iran.

    Oh that deal!!

    Why wouldn’t America want to back out of the deal?!!!

    “Hope & Change”

    Get ready Iran. For the free world… 2017 is looking good!!

        I wish it was, it’s more like giving the go-ahead for nuclear weapons to a regime that has been entrenched for 50 years and has rarely wavered from its commitment to Islamic revolution.

        Meanwhile Western politicians come and go, making short-termist deals like Obama.
        The West is playing Monopoly while the Mullahs play chess.

    This is always Muslim Rhetoric. Lots of bravado, little action. But this s what America gets for abandoning the Shah at his weakest hour. I lived in Teheran during the Shah’s rule. I saw the birth of a future democracy in Iran. But America turned its face away from our friend and believed that a Muslim theocracy was better for us then a parliamentary kingship. We blundered and now we hay the price.

      I remember vividly Jimmy Carter telling the Shah that he was behind him 1000%. Then he convinced the Shah to leave Iran “Temporarily” but he could return when the demonstrations settled down, which they would have.. The minute the Shah believed the lying Carter and left, Carter arranged for Ayatollah Khomeini to return from exile in France and take over the country. The Shah was never to return. When he contracted cancer, Carter refused to let him come from Panama where he was in exile so that he could get treatment at Sloan-Kettering in New York. Henry Kissinger intervened and the Shah was allowed to get the treatment which saved his life for a time, but had to leave immediately after his treatment was finished. Iran at the time of the Shah had laws to prevent oppression of women and allowed women to be educated. They were not required to wear garbage bags when out of their homes. There were many signs that democracy was taking hold in Iran under the Shah but Carter put “Paid” to that. It is one of the most shameful episodes in American history.

      This double-crossing of the Shah by Carter started the Middle Eastern conflagration which was made even worse by Obama and most specifically Hillary Clinton. It was the conception of ISIS, Obama and Clinton arranged for ISIS’s birth.

    Deal? There is no deal other than the one Obama personally made. Let the Islamist nutter take it up with Obama, personally.

    • Allan says

      Nov 23, 2016 at 12:44 pm

      That’s right, and Khamenei knew that the alleged deal was no treaty with the USA. Congressional Republicans, if my memory serves me well, sent a letter to the Iranians explaining this fact.

    The Supreme Leader?
    That sounds like a Three Stooges film!
    Are ALL of their “Leaders” mental patients? Like this one so obviously is?
    I think that all that copulation with Donkeys must do something to the brain!
    All of their “Leaders”, all of their Immams, their escapees from the funny farm!
    To bad they are such a dangerous bunch! We could help then build more and better Nut Houses!

      When Khomeini returned from Paris and took over Iran, he immediately changed the law so that dirty old men could have four wives and marry little girls, which he immediately did and called raping little girls a “Divine blessing.” They are all pedophiles who look as if a bathtub is an unknown quantity to them.
      Their intelligence is certainly sub-par, having married cousins for generations. Nothing good can come out of or in Iran.

      It could be bigger this time! Think of all the gases that the burning styrofoam would release into the atmosphere.

      In addition they could take out an “i” out of their specific version of islam and then sue America in Den Haag for damages because they would then be known as shite and that be culturally insensitive.

    Does anyone doubt that Iran has been taken for a 1400 year social leap backwards since the New Dictators came to power in 1979? Now its leaders directly threaten Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the US like a sneaky dog that bites whenever it has an opportunity. Even SA has banned these international thugs from Mecca which only increases the likelyhood of war; which would already be in progress without the US presence. For this member of the Shia, a sect that only represents about 12% of Muslims, it is truly a tail wagging the dog.

    When the 1979 revolution occurred, the US had a “Pope Francis” style of leader who could not make the hard choice to remove the cancer before it metastasized. The “college students” thought they were getting something better than the Shah; a movement that would even have the support of the uneducated. Now it spreads its tentacles anywhere and the cost of removing it has grown exponentally and might kill the host body.

    Why can’t our leaders take the time to actually read the Quran and Hadith instead of relying on “experts”, who have their own agendas, and discover the actual spectrum of Islam? Where are our Thomas Jeffersons? If they did, they would discover that Islam is an Ideology of world rule and that Islamic treaties are only permitted when in an inferior power position, for never more than 10 years, and can be broken at the first sign of breaking its boundaries by the other party. It’s already over, Iran’s dictator is just playing out games.

    The next war involving Islam will likely be Pakistan-India, Iran-SA, Iran-Israel, Iran-US, Chechnya-Russia, or Maylasia-Thailand. One thing is certain, Islam is a warring predatory ideology that has lived beyond its usefulness. It has already proved that Allah is a liar – there will NOT be peace if the whole world is Islamic.

    What Obama agreed to was a hudna, which Iran has, by official accounts, already violated repeatedly. Without doubt, it will continue to do so, now flush with cash, courtesy of the traitor-in-chief who occupies the White House. With his help, Iran is now on a fast track toward building a nuclear arsenal, the use of which, in view of the Mullahs’ stated willingness to bring about the Apocalypse so as to usher in the return of their Madhi, is a terrifyingly real possibility. Even Pakistan shows forbearance with respect to use of their nuclear weapons against infidel India; we cannot assume sanity will prevail where the lunatic Mullahs are concerned. Obama studied in a madrassah; he knows hadiths, and, quite probably, knows of Muhammed’s Treaty of Hudaibiyya with the Meccans, the significance of this treaty to Muslims, and the dangers to infidels that this treaty, paradigmatic for all treaties that Muslims enter into with non-Muslim polities, pose to the latter. Yet he went ahead and greenlighted this monstrous agreement, disastrous consequences for America be damned.
    The Iranian government, so dangerous and fanatical, are, thanks to this crypto-Muslim traitor in the White House, even more dangerous than ever, its fanaticism undoubtedly validated and reinforced by his pandering and obsequious eagerness to empower the Iranian theocrats on the pretext that he is protecting America in the short term. I find it inconceivable that our “president” does not have some malevolent motive for putting us all in peril, unless he is simply guilty of depraved indifference concerning the lives and security of the American people.

    Regarding any so called “agreement and deal” made with this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran in which the mullahs and ayatollahs have such awful power . The Muslims clerics with their lying deception which they call Taqiyya can never be trusted. As stated and explained by Franklin Roosevelt who declared “There never had been – there never can be – successful compromise between good and evil.”

    The next to use a nuclear weapon will be a Muslim, whether its a terrorist or a nation state. Only they have the combination of blind hatred and apocalyptic end time vision needed to inflict destruction on that scale. They don’t care about MAD because they are mad.

    It’s totally unconscionable of Obama, Kerry and the politicians of the other Western nations to fund and uphold the tyrannical Islamic regime in Iran. Either by a farce and a hoax of a “nuclear deal agreement” of through any other way. There is not genuine excuse to do any kind of negotiations with or business with the hideous, cruel, brutal and murderous Islamic tyranny of Iran. To just give only one out of many example of this thoroughly evil and Islamic regime is as follows.
    That heinously cruel and murderous Islamic tyranny of Iran is very brutal and vicious to the Iranian people. Especially regarding females. Both girls and women. For example a teenage girl in Iran was talking to her boyfriend on the phone and then the Islamic state “police” walked over to her and shot her dead. They did that wicked and malicious thing to her because she was talking to her boyfriend and they also didn’t like her clothing. [1] That was a clear cut case of murder and vicious Islamic madness by Iran’s Islamic state “ police”, who call themselves the “Revolutionary Guards”, they got away with their hideous and malice –filled evil because the mullahs as well as other villains in power in that tyrannical Islamic regime

    Trump is already going back on his word. He has said there is a “Connectivity” between man and climate change and has appointed a woman who is pro-charter schools, but also pro-Common Cause, which he promised to abolish. I am so disappointed because I trusted him and voted for him. Now Mitt Romney? Too much.
