Iran rejects talks with US over missile, nuclear programs, inadvertently admits to its nuclear Intentions

Aug 1, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Remember: all along, Iran has been claiming that its nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes. Yet now the Ayatollah Khamenei has inadvertently admitted to Iran’s intentions:

America’s brutal sanctions on Iran are aimed at collapsing our economy … Their aim is to limit our influence in the region and to halt our missile and nuclear capabilities.

No one with any common sense should have believed Iran in the first place, but the Obama administration apparently did, as it paid tens of billions in backroom deals on top of the nuclear deal. Less than a year ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran was “developing nuclear weapons at a secret site near the city of Abadeh, but that Tehran destroyed the facility after learning it had been exposed.”

“Iran’s Khamenei rejects talks with US over missile, nuclear programs,” Reuters, July 31, 2020:

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ruled out negotiations with the United States over Tehran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs on Friday and urged Iranians to resist US pressure.

“America’s brutal sanctions on Iran are aimed at collapsing our economy … Their aim is to limit our influence in the region and to halt our missile and nuclear capabilities,” Khamenei said in a speech broadcast live on television.

“Relying on national capabilities and cutting our dependence on oil exports will help us to resist America’s pressure.” Relations between Tehran and Washington have deteriorated since US President Donald Trump in 2018 abandoned a pact between Iran and six world powers under which Iran accepted curbs on its nuclear program in return for lifting sanctions.

The United States has reimposed sanctions that have sharply lowered Tehran’s oil exports…..

    That the aggressive hostile tyrannical regime of Iran is striving for nuclear weapons is an awful and tragic fact reality and is staying within the national character of the rough Islamic state of Iran . Therefore that attack, by Iran, should be of no surprise to any informant person, in fact , this fits in with the real legacy of Ayatollah Khomeini who was the Imam who was so powerful that he played large role in the establishment of the current Islamic tyranny of Iran which has the official title of “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” Khomeini had declared “ Jihad or Holy War ,which is for the conquest of [other ] countries and kingdoms , becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic State in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent on all males…to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world… those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.” [1]

    Since that Islamic regime now let world know about its”nuclear intentions , proves the need to further uphold sanctions against that Islamic “mullah tyranny” of Iran is, indeed, vicious and deadly because is cruel, brutal and murderous Qu’ran based method 5:33 of persecuting Iranian protesters, and other people, is keeping with the long history of that violent “mullah regime” of Iran. Likewise also keeping within bounds All this fits with the actual legacy of Ayatollah Khomeini is the of violence and war. To be more specific Islamic violence and war. Strangely, there are many young people and strangely many older people, who are Westerns who in the United States as well other countries of the West are, no doubt sincere but very misinformed ,as in misled, therefore say ,because they believe it, that “Islam is a peaceful and non-violent religion .” To those people the first and supreme Ayatollah Khomeini , who was the very head this current Islamic regime of Iran knows better stated about how he feels about those naïve Westerns .For he declared “Islam grew with blood….Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels” He also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]

    So, in other words Ayatollah Khomenei felt nothing but arrogant contempt for those people who say that his religion “Is a peaceful religion” and understand that they in ignorant and uninformed.

    Therefore the West needs to wake up to the reality of the truth about the actual violent essence of this religion.

      Muslims are allowed to lie to infidels and even other Muslims if necessary to advance the cause of Islam, so no real surprise here. I suspect also that the reason no other nation has tried to directly destroy Iran’s nuclear program is because Iran already has nuclear weapons they obtained on the black market. Iran needed them to even think about developing a native nuclear program of their own, I think. Why else would other countries be so fearful and appeasing of them?

    This Ayatollah is Iran’s Supreme Leader. This means he has the final say over all actions of the Iranian government as to whether they are being done in accordance with the will of Allah. Per Koran 9:29 Allah wills that Muslims fight until all the people of the world submit to the rule of Islam. Any treaties between Iran and all other countries must be in accordance with this verse from the Koran and must reflect either the agreement of the other country to become Islamic or to pay in some way the Jizya for not agreeing to become Islamic. As long as Iran can get some form of monetary gain (Jizya) from the U.S. by not fighting the U.S. it will do so (and continue to seek ways to humble the U.S.). If Iran cannot collect the Jizya, it will fight in any and all ways that it can. The demand for Muslims to extract the Jizya has never been abrogated and, according to Muhammad, will never be abrogated until the prophet Isa abolishes it upon his return.

      And the Muslims say ”Isa” will abolish the Jizya by abolishing Christians and Jews, assisting the Mahdi in fighting the Dajjal-al-Masih (the ”Lying Christ”….) and making the whole World Islamic. Sounds like a negative reversal of the Christian End Times teachings to me.

        Yep.

          As in, to me it’s possible that the Islamic Mahdi will be the first Beast of the Book of the Apocalypse, the Antichrist, and ”ISA” will be the second Beast of the Apocalypse, the False Prophet. The Muslims will believe that Jesus Christ when He returns will be their ”Dajjal al-Masih”, the ”Lying Christ” Who they themselves say that Dajjal claims to be God. Thus they will fight Him, if I’m right about this possibility.

    ………….

    How many in the West will even notice this?

      well, since the propaganda outlets either won’t mention it, or will hide it in a brief note *far* from the front page or first page of stories, the uneducated leftists (but i repeat myself) won’t see it. only folks who are willing to visit more obscure sites then yahoo, google, bing, facebook, et al. will discover it.

      it’s not only sad to see the republic dying, it is horrifying.

      Well, certainly, Joe Biden will, and will immediately push Congress for two, maybe three TRILLION DOLLARS to buy off Iran’s bloodthirsty diaper heads!

    The Ayatollah is an assahola.

    I think their intentions have long been known, the Ayatollah has left little doubt about his feelings towards America with his death threats on a daily basis.
