Iran threatens America over ‘violation’ of nuclear deal; orders nuclear-powered ships

Dec 13, 2016 4:30 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has ordered the head of the country’s Atomic Energy Organisation to start planning the development of nuclear-powered ships in reaction to what he called the United States’ violation of their nuclear deal.” Meanwhile, Iran’s vice president and the head of its nuclear program, Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani, has finally admitted:

Sometimes we pretended to be weaker than we really were, and sometimes we showed strength that was not really in our hands.

When Barack Obama was scorched with criticism over his bad decision to enter into the nuclear agreement with the rogue state of Iran, he defended himself by referencing the deal as a “powerful display of American leadership and diplomacy,” and somehow believed that prostrating himself before this international bully would be a smart way to avoid a “Middle East war.” He wanted the people of America to believe that a gentleman’s handshake with Iranian crooks would be legitimate.

Then the stench of Obama’s bad deal began to leak out, as more information about it surfaced. According to testimony provided before Congress about the Iran nuclear deal, Iran may have received up to $33.6 billion in secret payments facilitated by the Obama administration. According to Mark Dubowitz, executive director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, at least $11.9 billion was paid out to Iran, but the regime may have received as much as $33.6 billion in cash or in gold and other precious metals.

Now, on top of reckless abuse of taxpayer dollars, with the Obama Administration even accused of laundering “U.S. Cash to Iran Via N.Y. Fed, Euro Banks,” America is now also facing a grave threat that Obama has enabled and fueled. Iran is not happy with being challenged by an incoming President who refuses to facilitate its rising power as a global menace and funder of jihad terrorism.

“Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani orders nuclear-fuelled warships as he accuses US of ‘violating’ deal”, by Harriet Agerholm, UK Independent, December 13, 2016:

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has ordered the head of the country’s Atomic Energy Organisation to start planning the development of nuclear-powered ships in reaction to what he called the United States’ violation of their nuclear deal.

Earlier in December the US Senate voted to extend the Iran Sanctions Act by 10 years, a decision that was criticised by the Iranian foreign minister at the time who said it showed the US government had “a lack of credibility”.

In a letter read out on Tuesday on state television, Mr Rouhani condemned the move as a breach of the 2015 nuclear accord and told the nation’s scientists to begin “planning the design and production of fuel and nuclear power plants for maritime transport”.

The leader also said he had ordered the foreign minister to mount a legal challenge against the US.

The 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and six world powers lifted a variety of sanctions against the nation in exchange for restrictions on the Iranian nuclear programme.

Yet the US keeps its own set of trade restrictions against the country – separate from the agreement – which were set to expire at the end of the year.

Politicians in the Senate said the sanctions were extended not only because of nuclear issues, but also over concerns about ballistic missile-testing and human rights in the country.

President Barack Obama is expected to sign the extension into law in the coming days.

    “President Barack Obama is expected to sign the extension into law in the coming days.”
    Now that’s something I didn’t know. I thought he was going to veto it. What is the source for that statement?

      I think the bill was passed unanimously although I may have gotten that wrong. If it was unanimous his veto wouldn’t stand as they would vote to over ride him anyway.

    “Iran has received $150 billion in sanctions relief from the U.S. and international community in exchange for a nuclear deal that at best may delay Iran’s development of nuclear weapons, while according to some experts Iran already has nuclear-armed missiles.14
    14 “Experts: Iran Now A Nuclear-Ready State, Missiles Capable of Hitting U.S.” Newsmax, February 1, 2015″

    One short quote from, The Long Sunday.”
    i received it through the CSP.

    Iran is issuing threats every few hours, it seems. Otherwise known as extortion with threats.

      Somehistory, That is the typical Iranian rant, now that they are faced with a REAL leader in the White House, instead of a Muslim who bows to the terrorist crap, they will rant even louder!!
      As far as the nuke subs, of course they will have them!! Obama gave them our money to build and buy them!! And of course, our vets, and seniors on Social Security, did not get much under this Muslim POUS! But, looks like Iran and the Imams did just fine!!!
      WHERE IS JAN. 20th????!!!!

    First ,about Iran working on nuclear -powered vessels and making terrorist threats about war because of an alleged US deal violations only further proves the truth of the old saying which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.” Second,what folly and foolishness of Obama and Kerry to feel that they could have come to a worthwhile deal of good value with that tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran by attempting to work out a compromise with those Muslim tyrants in power in Iran. The outcome of foolishly trying to work out a compromise resulted that the hoax and farce of a “deal.” A former US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt , had well-spoken when he said “There has never been – there never can be – successful compromise between good and evil.”

    Accidents happen. One day you’re trying to develop a nuclear-powered boat, the next you’re blaming the irradiated crater that used to be your nuclear research facilities on Israeli and American sabotage. Just saying – accidents happen…

      Hi Pal,

      You said: “….Just saying – accidents happen…” You’re not trying to sell insurance to the iranians, do you? 🙂

    What people do not realize is Iran already has nuclear weapons, they are just not in Iran and are not in any deliverable form yet. Iran is a partner in North Korea’s nuclear program. There is a strong Iranian presence in North Korea. Iran is building the infra structure to construct nuclear weapon at home but the R&D is in North Korea. http://thediplomat.com/2016/04/the-iran-north-korea-connection/

      I thought it sad that the nuclear deal will only be proven false (by nukes, its already stupid) but if North Korea is helping,…maybe it will happen sooner.

      North Korea is too stupid to build a good missile, but it sounds like Iran is trying to cover that part.

      • Byzantium1683 says

        Dec 14, 2016 at 4:12 pm

        Oops, that it might take decades to happen, I mean.

        Hopefully trump can stop the deal, because proving the deal false by Iran having nukes, is not exactly worth Iran having nukes.

    Iran and North Korea – 2 of the most demented nations on earth, each in their own way. Evil seeks evil, nominated for the “most likely to cause mayhem” award.

      Perhaps someday Iran and North Korea will stop trusting one another and obliterate each other.

    That deal was made null when Iran violated it along time ago. No ships for them!

    For decades I’ve been maintaining that there is something morally and logically wrong with nuclear nonproliferation. It’s like this, we have nuclear weapons and we may use it on you, but that’s OK. But it will be wrong and reprehensible for you to get nuclear weapons. Why not just call a spade a spade and say, you cannot be trusted to have nuclear weapons because you are irresponsible and we will do everything in our power to stop you getting them, even act like bullies. At least that’s honest. I have nothing against honesty, even if politically incorrect.

      Chris – as you no doubt are aware, when dealing with the USSR, MAD was something we could use to keep them in line because neither of us wanted to die. When dealing with the Iranians, we can’t utilize MAD because THEY believe they are killing us in the name of their “god” and don’t really give a rat’s behind if they die, you know, 72 raisins and all. Or, in other words, as Golda Meir said: “We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”

    Where do you start a ‘deal’ with duplicitous muslims? The answer is you don’t. Obama is not only a fool for thinking he could do so but an enemy of the people for empowering their enemies. Iran had no and has no intention of being honourable, for if they had, they would have to give up their love of the Islam. Honour, decency, truth just doesn’t fit with Islam. Oil and water!!

    Ever watched the TV show “Tyrant”? If not, watch it!

    “Sometimes we pretended…..”

    Pretended – insincerely or falsely professed, feigned, fictitious, or counterfeit, taqiyya.

    That sums up Iran’s leaders quite well.

    And when did a decade-long, budget-busting, effort to build a reliable Iranian nuclear-powered ship become a threat to anyone but it’s future sailors? What’s next? A threat to build a solar automobile?

    The only way to deal with violent, fanatical, inbred, low IQ, jihadists is through use of overwhelming force.

    Not groveling like a cuck, that path leads to self destruction.
