Iran displays missile, calls Trump 'crazy' in marking 1979 U.S. embassy takeover

Iran put a ballistic missile on display as thousands marched on Saturday to mark the anniversary of the 1979 seizure of the U.S. embassy, with a senior official accusing President Donald Trump of a “crazy” return to confrontation with Tehran.

Turnout for the annual Iranian street rallies commemorating the embassy takeover, a pivotal event of the Islamic Revolution, appeared higher than in recent years when Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama pursued detente with Tehran.

Last month, Trump broke ranks with European allies, Russia and China by refusing to re-certify Iran’s compliance with its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, reached during Obama’s tenure. Under that deal, most international sanctions on Iran were lifted in exchange for Tehran curbing nuclear activity seen to pose a risk of being put to developing atomic bombs.

Iran has reaffirmed its commitment to the deal and U.N. inspectors have verified Tehran is complying with its terms, but Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has threatened to “shred” the pact if the United States pulls out.

”All the governments confirm that the American president is a crazy individual who is taking others toward the direction of suicide,” Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, told a rally in Tehran, state media reported.

Let’s consider. A nation that encourages and finances people to strap explosives on themselves and blow themselves and others up, is now calling others ‘crazy’. OK.

Read somewhere that the mullahs aren’t that stupid; they all have bug-out bags containing business suits, shaving kits, and wads of U.S. dollars.

Hillary gives uranium to Russia,
Russia gives uranium to Iran
Iran gives nuke to Jihadist
Jihadist blows up New York City.

Not a question of if, but a question of when.

The new released Bin Laden info showed a very close Al Queda connection to Iran, a Sunni-Shiite terrorist nightmare.

That is why Obama silenced it, because if it were made public then the Iran nuclear deal would have never come to be.

There is the 1998 Osama Bin Laden fatwa urging the faithful to use WMD against Americans.

They are coming.
