Islamic Republic of Iran: MPs chant “Death to America” while voting to increase military budget by $800,000,000

Aug 15, 2017 5:10 pm By Robert Spencer

Where did they get the $800,000,000? Oh yeah. Thanks, Obama!

“‘Death to America’ Iran ‘more dangerous than North Korea’ after nuclear funding approval,” by Vickiie Oliphant, Express, August 15, 2017:

IRAN could replace North Korea as the biggest threat to the United States as lawmakers overwhelmingly agreed to pump more money into its nuclear programme.

Tehran’s parliament voted to funnel thousands of pounds into the development of its nuclear missile project in a bid to fight US “adventurism” at the weekend.

Chants of “death to America” echoed around the chamber as the bill which will increase the state’s military budget by almost $800million was passed with a huge majority….

Under Iran’s new laws, which still need to be rubber-stamped by the country’s overseeing body, $260million will be pumped into the missile programme alone.

A further £300m will to the country’s Quds force, while the remaining millions will be spent on other intelligence related projects.

The bill charges the government of recently re-elected President Hassan Rouhani with confronting the “threats, malicious, hegemonic and divisive activities of America in the region.”

Today President Hassan Rouhani even warned he could ramp up his nuclear missile programme if the US continues with its “threats” of sanctions, agreed by Donald Trump earlier this month.

And he hinted he could pull out of the nuke deal he cut with world leaders in 2015.

He told lawmakers: “In an hour and a day, Iran could return to a more advanced [nuclear] level than at the beginning of the negotiations.”…

    Just another war of religion coming. But with nukes. What? Me worry?
    Get into the glass blowing art. Glass is made of sand. Where is there a lot of sand? And not in a wich. I know I know. Not a lot of money in glass these days, but a skilled artisan and a collector can be good together. They can have a blast.

    Paid for by Obama.

    If Obama had truly been multicultural and politically correct, he would have given the Iranians the shah’s money WITHOUT interest.

    How much cash received as a gift from Obama contributed to that increase?

    Iran is “probably” funding North Korea’s nuclear and missile program, to receive its results immediately. Iran is also likely running its 19,000 centrifuges to concentrate U-235 to the highest level it can get away with to ship the concentrated (enriched) uranium to North Korea for final enrichment to bomb grade (greater than 90 percent U-235), a much simpler, easier task than the first step from natural uranium, (0.7 percent U-235, up to 20 percent). Why should Iran share the publicity of having a duplicate nuclear weapons program when such is already known of North Korea?

    The same missiles launched from Iran can hit the US east coast while North Korea hits the west coast; Or from Iranian bases in Venezuela hit the entire US from directions not defended by US anti-ballistic missiles. Some are so busy looking for reasons to “hope” that it will be “a few days/weeks/months/years” that they refuse to see what is possible now. I think that fits Viktor Frankl’s description of the “delusion on reprieve” that he discovered in Nazi death camps.

    Why do we close our ears to this ranting and raving emanating from the heart of the Islamic Republic of Iran?

    • Frank Anderson says

      Matthieu, several reasons:
      Talk is cheap. When some overt act goes along with talk then there is clear reason to respond if you have the guts. Obviously Iran has been killing American citizens with impunity, not to mention all the other crimes, war and other, they have inflicted on our citizens since 1979. Our leaders do not understand Islam and the people they have “advising” them are just as traitorous collaborators as any during WWII. There are a number of issues where a little knowledge is dangerous, but no knowledge at all being guided by ignorance and deception is catastrophic for all. Islam is high on the list of the most dangerous to our future.

    Have anything to do with the billion or so dollars in various currencies in CASH that Obama had delivered to Iran? An act of treason that he was not held accountable for?
