Iran’s Foreign Minister: The Trouble with Obama’s Nuke Deal Is ‘Basically Everything’
Breitbart ^ | 20 May 2015 | by John Hayward

On the subject of those notorious talking points, Zarif said:

I do not believe that the practice of producing fact sheets is a very useful one. The world has gone through a significant change. You cannot pick and choose your audience anymore. In the past, you could present your version of reality, your narrative to your audience, and the other side could have presented their narrative to their audience. But today in the age of the Internet and social media, narratives become global – and that’s where the problem comes. So you need to be able to present the final, complete package.

Of course, if they weren’t so busy trying to keep this ludicrous “deal” alive and avoid making the Iranians angry enough to walk away, the State Department could say Iran is the party presenting its own version of reality to a picked and chosen audience. They’ve been describing the Lausanne framework as total capitulation to Iran’s demands since, quite literally, minute one after the meetings in Switzerland concluded, dismissing every supposedly tough measure President Obama touts to the American people as an “unreasonable” condition Iran has no intention of meeting. (“Unreasonable” has become one of the most popular words in Iran’s international discourse, covering just about every measure that would have a chance of detecting an illegal Iranian nuclear weapons project.)

When Der Spiegel asked what the most difficult points of contention in the nuclear deal are at the moment, Zarif replied, “Basically everything.” He pinned the confusion on the inability of the other negotiating partners to get their act together, while Iran is, of course, as constant as the northern star.

I’m sure Iran likes the part where they get to do whatever they want and get a lot of money, regardless.

Not content to simply take the money and do whatever the hell they want, Iran’s mullahs continue to publicly demand more in order to humiliate the US through their compliant secret agent, our President.
