Iran Accuses U.S. of Lying About New Nuke Agreement
2015-04-03
[Wash Free Bacon] LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Just hours after the announcement of what the United States characterized as a historic agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, the country's leading negotiator lashed out at the Obama administration for lying about the details of a tentative framework.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif accused the Obama administration of misleading the American people and Congress in a fact sheet it released following the culmination of negotiations with the Islamic Republic.

Zarif bragged in an earlier press conference with reporters that the United States had tentatively agreed to let it continue the enrichment of uranium, the key component in a nuclear bomb, as well as key nuclear research.

Zarif additionally said Iran would have all nuclear-related sanctions lifted once a final deal is signed and that the country would not be forced to shut down any of its currently operating nuclear installations.

Following a subsequent press conference by Secretary of State John Kerry--and release of a administration fact sheet on Iranian concessions--Zarif lashed out on Twitter over what he dubbed lies.

"The solutions are good for all, as they stand," he tweeted. "There is no need to spin using 'fact sheets' so early on."
Even if you toss out the existing known of 'Champ as a liar', it would appear Zarif is the only one with a factual interpretation of outcomes.

#7  Now wait a minute. Is this an agreement or a tentative framework for continued negotiations on an agreement? Sounds like it's really another stall tactic.

#6   the administration is composed of self-deluded pollyannas or treasonous curs,

Mitch, the answer for this administration is YES to both. A few individuals have even managed to be two in one.

#5  Why would you expect this administration to enforce any 'agreement' than any laws governing immigration and national sovereignty? That should be the line in Congress. Anything else is just theater to cover their asses when crap hits the fan.

#4  Regardless of whether you think the American negotiators are lying or they're mistaken, neither bodes well for the implementation of the framework. If they're trying to mislead Congress, the country and our allies about the nature of the agreement, it's a dead letter. If they think the nature of the agreement is one thing and the Iranians think it's another, then the end result is again, either a dead letter, or another round of fruitless negotiation.

Whether the administration is composed of self-deluded pollyannas or treasonous curs, the only question is whether they succeed in throwing away established sanctions and leverage on their lie/delusion. There is zero chance those assholes will do anything but waste treasure and time.
