Last week, Reza Kahlili, a former Revolutionary Guard member wrote that Iran had reached a deal with the Obama Administration to preserve portions of its nuclear program.
Hossain Ebrahimi told reporters yesterday that Obama sent the regime a secret message.
On Saturday, the Iranian regime confirmed this report. The Iranian regime revealed on Saturday that the Obama Administration sent them a secret message through the Swiss Embassy recognizing their nuclear rights. The Swiss government, acting through its Embassy in Tehran, serves as protecting power for U.S. interests in Iran. Fars News reported, via Weasel Zippers:
Senior Iranian parliamentary sources revealed on Saturday that the Swiss envoy to Tehran has quoted US President Barack Obama as acknowledging Iran’s nuclear rights.
Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Livia Leu Agosti attended a meeting with senior Iranian foreign ministry officials a few days ago to submit a letter from the US president to Tehran leaders.
Vice-Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Ebrahimi told FNA that during the meeting, Agosti had told the Iranian officials that President Barack Obama recognizes Iran’s right of access and use of the nuclear technology.
“There are a couple of points with regard to this (US) message (to Iran),” Ebrahimi said and added, “Firstly, during the session to submit the message, the Swiss ambassador to Tehran quoted the US president as saying that ‘we (the US) recognize your nuclear rights’.”
As regards the second issue, the lawmaker said that the Swiss diplomat had also quoted Obama as saying that “I didn’t want to impose sanctions on your central bank but I had no options but to approve it since a Congress majority had approved the decision.”
Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said on Sunday that Iran has received a US message regarding the Strait of Hormoz via three different channels.
“The US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice had handed a letter to Iran’s Ambassador to the UN Mohammad Khazayee; the Swiss Ambassador to Tehran (Livia Leu Agosti) also conveyed the same thing; and Iraqi President Jalal Talabani delivered the same message to Iranian officials,” he said last Sunday.
The US letter follows threats by Iran last month to shut off the Strait of Hormoz – the world’s most important oil shipping lane – if new US and EU sanctions over its nuclear program halted Iranian oil exports.
” . . . colluding with the enemy . . . “ ?
I don’t think we’ve had a DECLARED enemy since WWII. Certainly not Iran or Islam (or Russia or China).
Returning Vets and Constitutionalists are about as close as this government gets to declared enemies.
Without a declared enemy, I don’t know if O can legally be charged with treason. Non-declaration of enemies = non-wars, a convenient strategy for the post-WWII globalists in charge of things. No sovereignty, no wars: just large police actions and overseas contingency plans.
And Obama will have more flexibility AFTER the election...
the lawmaker said that the Swiss diplomat had also quoted Obama as saying that “I didn’t want to impose sanctions on your central bank but I had no options but to approve it since a Congress majority had approved the decision.”
That is so typical of Obama. When I read the other day that he was going to release the sanctions, I said that I thought he couldn't do it because they were law and had been passed by Congress. Well, obviously even he knows he can't attack them directly - yet.
So he does a private back-channel "negotiation" with Iran, without the knowledge of Congress, and presto, it's a fait accompli and the sanctions become meaningless. Obviously, if he says that US policy is now that a nuclear Iran is just find and dandy, there's no need for the sanctions and they will become unenforceable.
“I’ll go ahead and call BS on this one. Obama can’t possibly be this stupid... Can he ?”
Why wouldn’t the SOS want to out this news?
Hussein has to make lots of secret calls to our enemies, his friends....
Think of what Crowley did regarding “terror”. Now think about how Obama would try to slap Romney down as being absurd and naive and not ready to lead.
A nation with a religion that accepts and/or promotes suicide for their God must NOT be allowed nuclear weapons. It’s as simple as that!
While this is definitely an impeachable offense, if true, and that Libya thing is also impeachable, congress is not going to move now to impeach.
First, the senate won’t go along with impeachment and right now pubs are in the minority. Second, it’s way too close to the election to begin impeachment proceedings.
Such a move simply would not be wise three weeks before an election.
HOWEVER, once Romney wins an impeachment action should be made based on an independent investigation into all this plus Libya. Said investigation will most likely find a whole bunch of bad stuff done by the Obama administration.
No President of this country should ever be allowed to get away with the awful things this president has done.
If the pubs take over the House and Senate, as I expect, plus the presidency, they should begin recruiting Democrats to join the impeachment effort because no American President should ever go on uncensored for the stuff this guy has done.
Surely, with a rout now in the making, the Dems will realize the coming death of their party. No?
I think that in some circles it’s called “flexibility”.
Whether this is true or not, IMPEACHMENT proceedings SHOULD begin the day after the election, regardless of who wins.
If Congress doesn’t do what you want, just go around them.
Doesn’t it say that in the Constitution somewhere?
/s
Yeah, I agree Kevin. I'm amazed that people in this thread are taking Iran's word as gospel truth without any verification at all.
But I guess a country that independently developed their own stealth plane and other goodies wouldn't have any need to lie, would it?
Besides, why would the R&R team go with an unsourced 1 day old story in the most important debate of their lives, when they have 4 years of obama foreign policy failures to take their pick from?
Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran to American parents.
I also smell a trap for Romney. Don’t know why the Iranians would be colluding with 0bama on it, unless we have some sort of “double deal” here. There is a secret deal between Iran & 0bama. The first deal is that Iran & 0bama set up this one-sided statement, 0bama denies it, tomorrow after the debate, the Iranians confirm 0bama’s denial, the media attack Romney, and throw the election to 0bama.
The second part of this secret deal is that this REALLY IS the deal, but won’t be announced until November 10, after 0bama has been re-elected.
Iran is a mooselimb religious regime. There is this thing called ‘taqqiya’ which gives mooselimbs the freedom to lie like rugs if they can frame the issue as defending Is slime. Sois a fail if this little barry bastard boy claims he has made a deal with the liars in Iran, IF we had a real media rather than a fifth column enemy of we the people running interference for little bastard barry,
Three possibilities here:
1. NYT is leaking it because Israel prefers Romney and NYT does not want to publicly support a Republican. There could be internal struggle inside NYT at the moment.
2. Iran understands that Romney is going to be the next president, whether they like him or not. Then it becomes to Iran's advantage to at least hold on to the ground they gained under Obama, and even exaggerate it a bit. Note that the US leaks are of a diplomatic settlement while Iran speaks of "recognition of Iran's nuclear rights", making it sound like there are no preconditions to that.
3. Iran may prefer Romney to Obama on the calculation that under Obama Israel will lose patience and strike first and Romney has credibility with Israel and make Israel hold their plans, and so give them time they need to accomplish their enrichment program. Remember, once Romney is president it is not in his interest to start a war.
Yes, I think you may be right. That is possibility #3 in my previous post.
