Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif said on Sunday that a new Iran Action Group in the U.S. State Department aimed to overthrow the Islamic Republic, but would fail.

The Iranian Mullahs will over-throw themselves. It’s coming, just watch. (lest the CIA is involved, and it might be)

That’s what the libs keep telling us we ought to hope will happen. Some things need to be done from the outside. (Not with our present-day CIA to be sure.)

I think they call him a nationalist because he nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
