Foreign Minister Zarif of Iran said on CNN that the White House is getting the nuclear deal wrong -- and that they don't have to give up anything:
Said the Iranian foreign minister, "The White House version both underplays the concessions and overplays Iranian commitment. And I'm not interested in that. I'm simply saying, why don't we all stick to what we agreed? Why do we need to produce different texts?"
CNN reporter: "Explain, then, to our viewers, what's different in terms of Iran's commitment to what you agreed to and what the White House says you agreed to?"
The Iranian responded, "Well, the terminology is different. The White House tries to portray it as basically a dismantling of Iran's nuclear program. That is the word they use time and again. And I urge you to read the entire text. If you find a single, a single word that even closely resembles dismantling or could be defined as dismantling in the entire text, then I would take back my comment."
Zarif clarifies, "What Iran has agreed is not to enrich above 5 percent. We did not agree to dismantle anything."
The White House refuses to release the text of the Iran nuclear deal.
I am not ashamed of my country my friend, but I am ashamed of my government.
Pathetic, isn’t it. Add “Global Warming” into the mix.
I wish I were as optimistic as you. We have the government we do because we now have a population of weak, ignorant, self-centered people who don’t give a rip about anything other than needing to have the latest iphone and what is going on with the Kardashians. More Free Stuff sounds just dandy to them.
Thanks for the reply, I would join you in a heart beat.
Doesn’t matter whether Iran agreed to it or not, the fact that they don’t think they did predicts their future actions.
This brings up the issue of water, yes water! Something must be done - Now! Water is far, far too wet for the majority of "folks". Something must be done immediately! This is the Year of Action!
“Somehow, we are losing elections to a progression of straw men...”
Yeah, and that’s just the candidates...
I’m sure this whole misunderstanding is because of a video on youtube.
True enough. Far too many of those. Some liberals, dare I say it, that I know are beginning to awaken. Not too many but be some. Most are nice folks only now realizing that they have been conned.
You’re right - I worded that one badly... Thanks Nuc.
I agree, direction must change in the next election. I am doubtful of the ballot counting, the dept. Of racial justice has certainly been working on this. I would love to see millions of folks descend on dc and demand the ones committing fraud and crimes be removed as a no confidence vote.
No thanks needed my friend I know where you heart lies. You are a patriot.
I’m wondering why Iran doesn’t release the text of the deal.
Iranians have forgotten more about political graft, intimidation, and illicit favors then we’ve ever known.
Totalitarian tricks aren’t our way... well, not until recently.
Iran’s got the dirt and papers on Obama and he and Kerry will have to ‘negotiate’...
It’s a good thing you brought up water.
Obama and his cohorts are draining our precious bodily
fluids... Obama: “I love the people Hillary,
I give them promises but I NEVER give them my essence.”
Perhaps. I would love to see O’s school records. Maybe the Irianians have something on Obama. Certainly not impossible and it would go a long way toward explaining his behavior toward Islam.

The Iranians are right, there is no dismantling going on.
