| New US administration will have to abide by JCPOA: Iran FM |
| 2017-06-13 |
| [Iran Press TV] Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has criticized the new US administration for failing to fully live up to its commitments under the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, saying the White House would finally have to abide by the deal. "Unfortunately the behavior from the new administration in Washington is not very promising," Zarif told news hounds after a meeting with Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende in Oslo on Monday. "But, we believe that at the end of the day they [US administration] will find it necessary to abide by the deal and we believe the rest of the international community will make it clear...that it considers the deal as a multilateral agreement and not a bilateral agreement between Iran and the United States," the Iranian minister added. During his presidential campaign, US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... had promised to repeal the nuclear accord which he referred to as a "disaster" and "the worst deal ever negotiated." Zarif expressed regret that the US has "not lived up fully" to its commitments under the JCPOA and said, "We believe that the nuclear agreement is the result of multilateral processes endorsed by the Security Council." |

| #1 Dear Mo - May I call you Mo? Thank you so much. Let me explain something. We had some senators a year or two back who tried to explain to you (and more than a few of our own people) that the deal that Mr Obama's people reached with you was a non-binding agreement if our Senate didn't vote to accept that. For their trouble, those senators were accused of treason, mostly by people who knew better but decided it was a cheap and easy way to make people look bad. (You may remember it; it was in all the papers.) Thing is though, the senators were right: Our President had the right and authority to assign someone to sign the deal, and sadly, he sure as hell had the ability to send you an airplane load of money. But unless the Senate approved it in open debate, the deal died with the Obama administration. Under our Consitution (hell of a document, you should read it sometime)we don't have to abide by diddly otherwise. Yeah, I know, you guys were counting on Felonia von Pantsuit (who would have probably kept the deal going) to get elected, but hey, so did a bunch of other people - the line forms to the right. Look, I get it - you guys are used to doing the double crossing, but this time 62,979,636 Americans popped you the bird. You're pissed. Tough. Yell all you want. Ain't gonna make any difference. So go play with your toys, and remember - new sharif in town. If you get itchy bomb trigger fingers, the folks in charge now aren't going to be as willing to look the other way. Mike |
