Although significant, Iran’s new threat amounts to nothing, since by its own admission, it has already long ago violated the nuclear deal. That deal was based on lies to begin with. Despite the continuing evidence that indicates how unreliable Iran has been about keeping its word, the West continues to place its hope in negotiations with Iran, which only serves to further stoke the regime’s aggression. It also buys time for the regime to build a nuclear bomb.
The Ayatollah Khamenei has already declared in no uncertain terms: “Enemies cannot do a damn thing against the Islamic Republic and Islam’s power is growing.” Far too many Western leaders, however, choose not to believe him, at their own peril.
“Iran says it will block snap nuclear inspections if 2015 deal terms are not met,” by John Bowden, The Hill, February 15, 2021:
Iran’s government on Monday warned that it would end the U.N. nuclear watchdog’s ability to conduct snap inspections of nuclear sites in the country unless the U.S. and European countries involved in the 2015 nuclear accord fulfill their end of the agreement and lift sanctions.
A spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry made the announcement, according to Reuters, setting a Feb. 21 deadline for the U.S. and other countries to relax sanctions reimposed after the U.S. left the nuclear accord in 2017 under the Trump administration.
“If others do not fulfill their obligations by Feb. 21, the government is obliged to suspend the voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol,” spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said, according to the news service.
“It does not mean ending all inspections by the U.N. nuclear watchdog. … All these steps are reversible if the other party changes its path and honours its obligations,” he continued.
A bipartisan group of more than 100 lawmakers has called on President Biden to “remain firm” in his dealings with Iran, urging the administration to hold the Tehran accountable for its increased nuclear enrichment in the years following the U.S. departure from the accord….

They are gonna’ do what they are gonna’ do…and it won’t change if the U.S. and others give in to their “demands.”
moslims never ask and never take no for an answer, while doing what they do and lying about it. Even when they are discovered doing their nuclear things, they deny doing their nuclear things. And then make promises about what they will do if…and what they will do if not…and nothing changes with their behavior.
It’s just that when they get their way, they demand even more.
Kind of like when they commit a terror act, murder people; and then when complaints come, they threaten more terror and whine about that fake phobia thingy. And then, there is more terror and more threats and more demands and more lying and whining.
It’s really getting very, very old.

What arrogant gall of that mullah president of Iran, Rouhani,and those other Islamic tyrants in such terrible power in Iran to demand the end to US sanctions and also to stop UN inspectors from investigating those nuclear sites, that alone indicates that they have something to hide.
Those Muslim clerics and other Muslim despots 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.]
