Iran thumbs nose at US even as Obama rallies support for nuke deal

Even as President Obama was securing the Senate support necessary to assure passage of the nuclear deal with Iran, Tehran's top defense officials were scoffing at U.S. claims the pact will restrict the Islamic Republic's military ambitions.

The president has been twisting arms and Secretary of State John Kerry reassuring lawmakers that the deal between Iran and the P5 +1 - members of the UN Security Council plus Germany - will ensure international inspections and bar Iran from ever developing nuclear weapons. This week, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., became the 34th member of the Senate to back the controversial and unpopular deal, meaning that if it is defeated in a vote as expected, Obama will have enough support to sustain his certain veto. But Iran's military brass has answered the U.S. nose-counting by thumbing their nose at America.

“Iran does not plan to issue permission for the [International Atomic Energy Agency] to inspect every site," Iranian Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqan told Al Mayadeen News Wednesday.

Even if the “US” Congress KNEW Iran planned to

The hatred of the EXEMPT for Americans is already clear

and the SECRET protected Quartering
of Incurable Diseases through the open border.

I wouldn’t put this on Mikulski. I would put it on every Democrat and in the next election say they were the deciding vote. Or their vote put this over the top.

Let them try to defend it.

All U.S. Senators except Cotton voted for the Corker bill 99-1 which made the Iran deal unstoppable. (Senator Cotton being the lone sane vote).

As they chanted in unison, “Death to America, Death to the great satan.”

There are things about this deal that make no sense at all. No one is really explaining it to us.

At this point, I could accept "stupid".

This is not stupid, this is treason.

I agree with you. This is a treason, but unfortunately she will simply be forced to retire her bid for the white house.

At this point...I’ll welcome it.
