Last week U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, in an interview with the Al-Arabiya channel about the so-called Geneva document with Iran, warned “If they decided they’re going to throw this agreement away and go start enrichment again, sure, they can turn around. But guess what? If they do that, then the military option that is available to the United States is ready and prepared to do what it would have to do.” (1)(2) The Iranian leadership doesn’t take the military threat seriously from Obama Administration’s court jester.
Iranian Response
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dismissed the Secretary’s proclamation in a statement broadcast on MEMRI TV: “Our top officials should pay attention to what [the West] is saying, because they smile and say that they are interested in negotiations, but at the same time, they say that all options are on the table. Well, what exactly are these options? What kind of action – or mistake – could they possibly take against Iran? If they are serious, they should exercise some self-restraint. All those people who utter this kind of nonsense must be stopped.”
And as reported by ISNA, Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan added: “ “Kerry’s statements are nothing but a political bluff… It is puzzling that those who ostensibly [champion]… democracy and diplomacy still talk of using methods from the Middle Ages, and think they can safeguard their interests"
Majlis National Security Council Committee member Mohammad Ismail Kothari as reported by Fars: “Obama himself knows better
What a Republican should have said
According to Kayhan News the Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi was quoted in response to Kerry’s warning: "People are wondering how a man who does not know how to speak was appointed Secretary of State?”

The fool waves his sword in front of his enemies. The wise man walks softly and carries a big stick.
John Kerry continues to open his mouth and to show what he is.
The mac daddy administration is such an embarrassment for the United States and the entire world is laughing at his total lack of experience in anything expect planning vacations, parties, golfing and screwing anything he touches.
He has no credibility with anyone with an IQ above a rock and his only concern is himself.
Kinda like the way Obama and the Socialist Democrats don’t take the GOP as a serious threat.
C’mon John. Take us up river to Saigon.
So that means Obama is going to ask Congress for a formal declaration of war. right?
Kerry made such a total complete fool of himself with his wacko proposals In Jerusalem that the Iranian mullahs are laughing all night instead of playing around in their harems. The whole worlds laughing at the American regime now. Unfortunately this isn’t good
Seriously, every time Lurch opens his pie hole, he manages to stick his foot into it up to the armpit.
I know it has been a while but the Iranians never laughed at the big boss man , Ronald Wilson Reagan did they
America is fast becoming, if not already, the world’s joke. hussein’s plan is working better and faster than what was ever thought.
Exactly. The danger now is that our enemies laugh at us and don’t think we will ever grow up and defend ourselves or our interests or allies. And so they can do any damned things they feel like. Watch for more wars and threats of war (Also our allies can’t trust us anymore, our admin has been backstabbing them so much, so they figure they have to make other plans. Sometimes Plans And C are not nearly as good or safe as was plan A). Watch for more troubles to break out as our admin keeps fanning its lips and spewing forth inanities or unrealistic proposals.
That was bubba Clinton! I suggest that should read "screwing up anything he touches.
