Islamic Republic of Iran threatens harsh reprisals after US exits nuke deal

May 9, 2018 7:59 am By Robert Spencer

Threatening war to keep us in a peace agreement? Clearly the Iranian mullahs are reliable “peace partners” indeed.

“Iran Threatens Harsh Reprisals After U.S. Exits Nuclear Deal,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 8, 2018:

Iranian leaders threatened harsh reprisals against the United States following President Donald Trump’s decision to abandon the landmark nuclear deal and reimpose a series of harsh sanctions on Tehran that were lifted under the original agreement, according to U.S. officials and regional reports.

Trump announced Tuesday afternoon that he will no longer abide by the deal, which he described as empowering Tehran’s nuclear and missile programs while providing little benefit for the world.

“The United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal,” Trump announced, before signing a presidential memorandum to reinstate U.S. nuclear sanctions on the Iranian regime.

Trump described these actions as “the highest level of economic sanctions” and said they could target any global business that does not wind down its business and investments in the Islamic Republic.

According to the White House, “the re-imposed sanctions will target critical sectors of Iran’s economy.”

The White House said there will be a period of time in which those doing business in Iran can wind down operations.

“Today we have definitive proof that this Iranian promise was a lie,” Trump said, referring to the recent disclosure by Israel that Iran hid its previous nuclear military work and retains the infrastructure to restart it at anytime. “At the heart of the Iran deal was a giant fiction.”

“It is clear to me that we cannot prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement. The Iran deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen.”

“If I allowed this deal to stand, there would soon be a nuclear arms race in the Middle East,” Trump said, outlining a litany of what he views as key flaws in the deal. “Everyone would want their weapons ready by the time Iran had theirs.”

The deal cannot be fixed, Trump said, after months of negotiations between U.S. officials and European allies. Trump said he is willing negotiate a new deal, a term that Iranian leaders have rejected outright.

White House National Security Adviser John Bolton told reporters immediately following Trumps’ remarks that sanctions on Iran will be “immediately” reinstated. This means that businesses cannot engage in any new contracts with the Islamic Republic, though businesses currently engaged in work will be given a period of time to wind down their business interests….

      So … were the mullahs holding their jihad activities in check up to now? No! What’s the difference?

      • mike9a says

        May 9, 2018 at 11:25 am

        the difference is: no billions of US tax dollars will be sent /handed free/ to them, to support their activities

    No matter how benign the leadership of Imams or political leaders of Islamic countries are, they will never be at peace with the West. That will not end.

    The problem with the Europe and the West: is the Left and others, have forgotten or erased their history, traditions, religion. they have become weak and disorganized.

    Like Trump, Poland, Viktor Orbán, these are the few who realize the danger, the left needs to disappear, they have been the cause of much damage.

      You are right Joe, however they are united in hating the West and others. There are no friends there, there. It is a mistake to support our enemy enemies in this particular context.

    The Iranian mullahs are profoundly stupid. They threaten and blackmail Trump just as he is coming up to making his decision. If they were half smart they would be all sweet as sugar and honey until he agrees to support the deal and then blackmail him with their on-going nuclear programme afterwards.

    Just because their standard tactics work against their own citizens they should not assume they will work against Trump.

    • gravenimage says

      True.

    Finally! A real man with big brass ones, in the white house… None of the wishy washy red line in the sand, giggly, eunuch. pushover kinda President….

    The community organizer (who probably sucked at that as well) didn’t do much organizing while in office, left the country in shambles, ripe for the plucking by the Muslim brotherhood that he conspicuously installed in the white house while he was POTUS.

    Saudi Arabia has clearly declared that it will pursue nuclear weapons if Iran is allowed to have them. JCPOA does not prevent Iran from ultimately having nuclear weapons; it only, if followed, delays Iran’s pursuit of them to be a problem for future administrations and the free world.

    Iran’s mullahs, constantly yapping about destroying Israel and promoting terrorism in the ME, are, like a dog chasing a car that suddenly stops, now looking into the unknown abyss and yelping threats in fear. They must make good on their threats or be overthrown – the clock is ticking.

    Instead of playing Shadow Government perhaps the “Community Organizer” and Kerry could work on reducing murders in Chicago.

    Indian defence expert Bharat Karnad says

    ”Some years back a few Indian visitors were taken around an Iranian n-facility. Talking to those in-charge convinced me that Tehran is on the brink having all but achieved weapons status.

    Obama hides something critical and obvious under a heap of hope. Iran’s nuclear weapons capability has merely been put on hold, not done away with”.

      ibrahiim! welcome back! it’s nice to have a comic interlude every now and then.

      any country is free to trade with iran; they will just have to stop trading with the u.s.. yes, i have no doubt that it will hurt us a bit, but successfully defending oneself is worth *any* price. in 1990 dollars, the u.s. economy was about $100 billion dollars each year of WWII; we spent a total of about $12 *TRILLION* 1990 dollars to fight that war, about $3 trillion dollars (or 30 times the GDP) per year. the equivalent amount now would be about $55 trillion dollars per year, so go head, do business with iran and not us; we can spend a *LOT* by not doing business with U and flushing that s**thole nation down the toilet.

      have U considered a religion based on love rather than hate, lust, murder, and theft? or perhaps no religion at all; most atheists who aren’t commies or nazis are pretty peaceful. islam and the pervert muhammed are cancers on the human race, and if we don’t rid ourselves of them, they will end us. i am praying for your salvation, ibrahim; i don’t want to see U die without God, but if U stick with the pirate cult of islam, U will. come to the light of the world, ibrahim!

    Why helping a country that you might be at war in the next 30 years ? It is just a mean to help Iran to get Investors and to prevent Israel to bomb Iran nuclear instalation. We got nothing else than the risk of a war with a terrible foo. Where did this Obama nonsense that a develop country never start war ? A stronger Iran mean more risk of war not less.

    Why not keeping those investment for us ? It is never good to divert our investment cappability abroad ? I have not forgotten the loss of investment due to the colonisation. What did we French got from the colonisation and investment in Africa ?

    • Super Nova 500 says

      May 11, 2018 at 8:08 pm

      So true Hector. The African leaders demanding land be seized from Dutch Boer farmers in S. African, without compensation, is what’s given back for massive investments in infrastructure and bringing the continent into the modern world. A leftist narratives abounding of “pay them reparations” seems popular, yet when land seizures & murder of farmers occurred in Zimbabwe, once called the breadbasket of the region, quickly turned into their citizens starving! Food production dropped 70% with Zimbabwe needing one half a billion in humanitarian Aid to feed their countries people. A few yrs. later they were begging the white Farmers to come back. When all is said and done it’s again the so-called colonizers who end up paying for the humanitarian Aid when they come crying to the West unable to feed and run their own countries without the help of the people that so many despise and hate.

    Ibrahim, the thighing Master, loves Islam, The Religion of Peace, aka the religion for feckless freaks who dominate women. I can understand a man falling for the Islam BS but what the hell is wrong with the women? Why is it ok for a man to have four wives and “play” with babies? Personally, I have always detested perverts and oppressors.
