And Iran’s lobby in the U.S. is outraged at the prospect of more inspections. Why? What does Iran have to hide?
“Iran: U.S. Violating Nuclear Deal,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 1, 2017:
Senior Iranian officials are accusing the United States of violating the landmark nuclear accord and promising to take punitive measures against America for this action, according to recent comments that come on the heels of renewed efforts by the Trump administration and Congress to sanction Tehran for its ballistic missile program and regional support for terrorism.
Ali Larijani, speaker of Iran’s parliament, lashed out Tuesday at the Trump administration and accused it of “blatantly” violating statutes in the nuclear agreement that obligate the United States to promote international trade with Iran and refrain from issuing new sanctions.
Larijana promised that Iran would “act decisively” to retaliate against the United States with its own package of sanctions and other measures, according to comments by the senior leader. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threatened that American “will be harmed” by its recent moves….
A State Department official, speaking only on background, told the Washington Free Beacon that the comments by Iran’s leaders will not deter the Trump administration from continuing to sanction Tehran.
The U.S. government intends to continue to target Iran’s malign activity that is outside the scope of the nuclear deal, the officials said, referring to U.S. action against Tehran that is viewed as not directly violating the agreement. “We have been clear all along that there would continue to be sanctions on non-nuclear areas,” the officials said.
Iranian leaders continued to bash the United States on Tuesday, following the recent round of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration and Congress.
Rouhani issued a warning to the United States as the Iranian parliament considered emergency measures to retaliate against the United States.
“The Americans should know that they will be harmed more by such moves, as such acts will isolate them in the world,” Rouhani was quoted as saying.
Larijani, speaker of Iran’s parliament also accused the United States of violating the deal.
“Given the evidence, in our view in the nuclear committee (which supervises implementation of the nuclear deal) the Americans have blatantly violated the nuclear deal,” Larijani was quoted as telling reporters Tuesday in Tehran.
“Mr. Trump advised other countries not to invest in Iran; such remarks are against the nuclear deal and such an atmosphere shouldn’t be created based on the agreement,” Lirijani was quoted as saying. “Iran should act decisively and wisely to prevent the Americans from attaining their goals.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who negotiated the nuclear deal, also accused the Trump administration of violating the agreement and vowed that Iran would continue its work on ballistic missile technology, which it claims does not violate international accords baring such activity.
The U.S. State Department, however, disagrees with this characterization and accused Iran of being in breach of United Nations resolutions that call on Iran to refrain from testing and constructing ballistic missiles.
Iran—which conducted a major space launch last week—has been steadfast about its commitment to pursuing advanced missile technology, an issue that has emerged as a flashpoint between Tehran and the United States in recent months.
“Iran, unlike the U.S., has complied in good faith with the letter and spirit of the JCPOA, while U.S. rhetoric and measures indicated its bad faith,” Zarif was quoted as saying this week….

Iran: US “blatantly” violating nuke deal, “will be harmed”
………………..
More threats from the “religion of peace”…
Lawrence Deans says
They can go pound sand. They have plenty of it.
Nona says
It looks like people are politically attacking Iran JUST because they’e islamic.
What’s your problem?
Fact is that, Iran hasn’t attacked any countries for centuries, while the U.S. has interfered with legal elections in other countries, and invaded others, viciously.
It’s also a fact, that Iran has adhered completely to the nuclear proliferation act, while the U.S hasn’t. And is doing EVERYTHING to provoke Iran into a war.
Thank god, Khomenei hasn’t fallen into the trap.
I, for one, think WWIII would be a very bad idea!

Ah, yes–taking diplomatic staff hostage and vowing to “wipe Israel off the map” is perfectly civilized…sarc/off

If you meant the Ayatollah Khomeini, he shuffled off the mortal coil in 1989. Or perhaps you meant Ayatollah Khamenei, who is dictator in the Islamic Republic of Iran now?
Perhaps you are right to confuse them; after all, both hold sway over a place that hangs gay people and stones women to death–barbarisms that you appear to have no problems with. *Ugh*.

**Ali Larijana promised that Iran would “act decisively” to retaliate against the United States with its own package of sanctions and other measures, according to comments by the senior leader. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threatened that American “will be harmed” by its recent moves….**
Iran leadership, the foremost beloved humanitarians of the Muslim World, the undisputed economic power, the light upon the hill, the future of Islam – against its greatest desire – is forced to place sanctions upon the US.
In response to such powerful developments, the US leadership is reportedly cleaning milk and other liquids from the mucus membranes of their nasal passages.

Robert Spencer, The Iranians and their cronies here actually call the Inspections a break in in the non-treaty that only an American Fool or Anti-American President would inflict and imperil the USA, her Allies and the World. The Liar Obama who took to task with Talking Points after his address to Both Houses of Congress and every Jewish Senato
manat bint allaha says
president obama is a sunni christian..
balam says
OBAMA IS IN FACT IS SUNNI/SHITE ANTI-CHRIST GAY EX-PRESIDENT OF UNFORTUNATE AMERICA. HOW FOOLISH TO PUT THAT CHARACTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE.YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOWED-A BAD SEED..
john spielman says
” sunni Christian ” is an oxymoron ; you cannot serve two master – either you serve Christ Jesus (God incarnate) – or allah who is Satan
Sandy Shore says
Right on !!!

John and Sandy, I believe manat bint allaha was being sarcastic–playing with the fact that Obama, quite unconvincingly, said he was Christian.

Iran is threatening to kill us… What else is new?

All of Iran’s ayatollahs acquire PhD-level degrees in TAQIYYA.

The government steals money from free people on “cash for clunkers” deals, sends plane loads of cash to Iran, Iran lobbies those same thieves on the next “clunker” deal and the west sits with its head up its ass wondering how it got its head up its ass.
Too funny.
Send in the clowns, oh they’re already here ! I’m not sure we have a “next act”.
Sons of Liberty says
Well said ! This is what Trump meant when he said our Country is being led by STUPID people and boy howdy ..Obama was a perfect example.
Sarah says
Hmm. Why isn’t there a pool of reporters flooding Obozo’s doorstep right now, asking him about his idiotic choices and decisions when he was POTUS regarding Iran?
Thanks to Obozo, Iran are too big for their britches. Turn the entire nation to glass – before they turn all of us to glass. It’ll also take care of a nice big chunk of Muslims who want to take take take from the rest of the world and turn the entire planet into an Islamic cesspit.
Danforth says
When Donald Trump says he inherited a mess from Obama, he inherited a MESS! (I can’t get the word MESS any larger in this comment or I would.)
Donald needs Congress to help him and that does not seem to be happening. Damn, WHAT A MESS!!!
Monty says
Too late for that. The “free world” is a diminishing concept. Most of Europe (including the UK) is finished. Former “moderate” Muslim nations (Malaisia, oops Malaysia, Indonesia) are sliding down the greasy pole and Turkey is showing its true colours. Canada is just about a Muslim state. Already many authorities in the US are pandering to the Muslim bully boys. The FBI was formed (so I understand) to combat organised crime. Who will deal with the far greater threat of Islam? I am far from confident that our “fearless leaders” have the wisdom or the will to take effective action.

Robert Brooks says
I was once told that “warrantees and guarantees are only as good as the parties involved”. When one person (obozo) places himself in a position to”make an “agreement” with a rouge regime, passing it off as official policy, only trouble can follow. The same for the “france debacle”.
Mike says
Well , maybe we can say that US is becoming like real muslims: signing treaties when they are in a weak position and tear it apart when they are in a better one . If it is good for muslims why niot for US ?
gravenimage says
Good lord. The idea that the US is violating this appalling and probably illegal deal by asking to check and see if Iran is keeping up its end of the bargain is really quite grotesque.
Manual Paleologos says
Chumps! There was no nuclear deal. Zerobama’s fake deal was never ratified. He just have them a lot of money and make promises he couldn’t keep.
Walter Sieruk says
First, the folly and foolishness of Obama and Kerry must have no limit that they had felt 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.”
Second,.President Trump should do much better than Obama did on handling the subject of the dangers posed by the Islamic rogue state of Iran. It’s rather obvious that President Trump will do better since Obama could not have done much worse. Furthermore, It’s very obvious that the tyrants in power in this Islamic regime had and have no real or sincere intentions even for the start of keeping any of their promises in a nuclear “agreement deal” with Western nations. As for ,example ,the other month a “test firing” of a missile by Iran, In addition , it was reported on CBN on 5/7/16 only two days before this CBN report the Iran not only launched other “test firing” of missile. The “test firing” of that missile and it even had printed on that missile words in Hebrew that read “Israel must be wiped off the map.” This along exposes the vicious and destructive intention of the mullahs and others in power in this Islamic rogue state of Iran. There were other “test firing of other missiles by earlier this very year by the Islamic tyranny of Iran. This shows the gall and defiance of those mullahs and ayatollahs along those other Muslim villains in power in this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran their total arrogant contempt for the US and the other Western nations in this so called “deal.” Those Muslim clerics and other Muslim tyrants in power in this cruel and oppressive Islamic tyranny are, in character, reflected in the Bible in Psalm 73:6-9. Which reads, “Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their mind know limits. They scoff and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.” [N.I.V.]

When JImmy Carter was President of the U.S.A. he should have had the balls to take military action when Iran took the American’s hostages, Because of his indecisive behavior we are living through this Iran BS now.
Goddamn Globalists!
gravenimage says
Carter did take military action–it was pretty weak, though, and failed utterly.
Andy says
What I mean is overwhelming military action not a piecemeal job. If you go in, You go in to WIN!!!
As Churchill said: “Give us the tools and we will FINISH THE JOB!”

I agree, Andy. What Iran did was definitely a declaration of war.

Just like this. Stand with the jews and pissrael and their NGOs who flood Europe with jihadi animals. Fvcking clueless americans.

He apparently is fine with Iran “wiping Israel off the map”–then moving on the to the rest of the West.

[Iran wants to]… “retaliate against the United States with its own package of sanctions and other measures…”?
Very well, Mohammedans! Ban your people (other Mohammedans) from ever visiting the United States. We would be much safer in an effect. And you can keep your “sanctions” forever!
gravenimage says
Ha ha!
Danforth says
Sanctions? What sanctions? What does Iran have that we need? Persian rugs, perhaps?
Maybe they want to pull their diplomats out of New York and Washington. (Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!)
While I’m at it, those I come in contact with on a casual basis from that country never reveal they are from Iran, they are from ‘Persia’. Does anyone else find this to be true?
Although I’m not up on my Persian history, it must have been a better time and a better place fourteen hundred years ago. I expect Christians, Jews and other faiths lived in harmony there until the prophet Mohammad came along and screwed everything up.
