The entire nuclear deal is based on this fatwa that declares nuclear weapons un-Islamic (there is more to that story as well: see The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran). So will Biden’s handlers change their appeasement course if it is scrapped? Of course not.
“Fmr. Iranian Diplomat Amir Mousavi: A Fatwa Is Not Permanent; Khamenei Might Change Fatwa Forbidding A Military Nuclear Project; Iran Forced Obama To Sign The JCPOA, And It Has The Cards To Force Biden To Return To It,” MEMRI, January 30, 2021:
Former Iranian Diplomat Amir Mousavi said that he believes newly elected U.S. President Joe Biden will rejoin the JCPOA agreement in an interview that aired on Mayadeen TV (Lebanon) on January 30, 2021. He said that Obama had entered the JCPOA because he was forced to do so by Iran and not of his own free will. Mousavi explained that Iran has significant cards that will force President Biden to rejoin the JCPOA without any preconditions and in compliance with all Iranian conditions. He continued to say that Supreme Leader Khamenei’s fatwa that forbids the development of a military nuclear project in Iran can be changed if the Americans and Zionists act in a “dangerous manner.” For more about Khamenei’s alleged anti-nuclear fatwa, see MEMRI Inquiry and analysis series Nos. 1478, 1458, 825, 1022 and 1151 and Special Dispatches No. 5406 and 5461. Mousavi was Iran’s Cultural Attaché in Algeria, but left in 2018 amid accusations of recruiting Shi’ite Algerians.
Amir Mousavi: “There are two important reasons that prompted President Obama to sign the agreement with Iran. The first reason is that he strived to win the Nobel prize. The second reason is connected to the RQ-170 UAV that came from Kandahar and was downed by the IRGC in the Tabas desert, and all the dangerous secrets it carried inside. Obama was forced to sign the nuclear agreement with Iran. He did not enter it of his own free will and did not do it as a favor to anyone. He was forced into it by Iran. Therefore, I believe that today as well, Iran is holding some significant cards, which it can use to force President Biden to return [to the JCPOA] with no preconditions, and in keeping with the Iranian conditions. I believe that this is what is going to happen.
[…]
“I believe that President Biden and all the statements of the new administration — regarding Iran’s missiles, Iran’s regional relations, and Iran’s support of the resistance movements in the region — these statements are all aimed at relieving internal and external pressure, and after that [Biden] will sign [an agreement with Iran]. We, in Iran, do not take [these statements] seriously, and the Iranian leadership is not in a hurry. As I said, so long as the Americans delay carrying out their obligations and lifting the sanctions, Iran will further develop its nuclear and defensive capabilities. I believe that the international community is the one that stands to lose and not Iran. Therefore, they are the ones that must speed things up. Iran is calm, taking its time, and putting things in order. It does not concern itself with what Macron or others are saying…”
Interviewer: “There is an Iranian obligation… Before I turn to our guest in Washington… There is an Iranian obligation and a fatwa of the Supreme Leader Khamenei regarding [Iran’s commitment] not to take the nuclear project in a military direction. Can this change?”
Mousavi: “I, personally, see exactly this. The actions of others are… A fatwa is not permanent, according to the Ja’afari Shi’ite jurisprudence. A fatwa is issued in accordance with developing circumstances. Therefore, I believe that if the Americans and Zionists act in a dangerous manner, the fatwa might be changed.”
Interviewer: “It will require a new fatwa.”

As a Dutch, I still like this American Trump guy very much. that said: ‘” There is something with this Islam?”

Hi Fred, he’s right, and got nailed saying what most of us know, but our government thinks it’s better to keep it quiet. With our lame stream media and big tech keeping the information locked down, they’ve opened up some eyes to what’s going on. Islam is a death cult and until we’re allowed to own that, nothing will change. Ppl aren’t allowed to post Trump videos on YouTube but the ISIS beheading videos are still up.
Kaz says
Was O also “ forced” to send pallets of cash? I respect the work MEMRI does and it’s eyes and ears prove what many mouths won’t dare say, in this instance I think someone is pissing in the pool. Look at the list of ppl that worked on the deal, why has no one else said they were forced. And to say an American President was forced, is Iran’s propaganda machine pumping out disinformation for all those haters to eat up. I’m not buying this one. Too many mouths not saying forced. Add in the cash, no. O deceived us , O gave the very ppl that hate our way of life the keys to the house and now while everyone is running around trying to erase Trump and make Joe look good, are quietly trying to remain relevant. Maybe long ago Iran had legs, but with the Arab countries making peace in the region,sure they’ll get the die hard haters and the young ones who’ve been spoon fed the hate, but they won’t have the backbone to do much more than spew misinformation. That doesn’t help many sleep at night, but it should be an extra footnote in the book.

Former Iranian diplomat: ‘If Americans and Zionists act in a dangerous manner,’ anti-nuke fatwa ‘might be changed’
…………….
Y’don’t say! By “dangerous”, does he mean continuing to live free of the Muslim heel?
Savvy Kafir says
These saber-rattling nut-jobs seriously need a slap upside the head, in the form of a few Tomahawk cruise missiles. Instead they’ll get four years of cuddling and ass-kissing from the Biden administration.

”nuclear weapons un-Islamic”
This will continue to be the case until Iran develops or appropriates its own nuclear capabilities.

We’ve seen this before from Muslims. Lying about lying.
