eace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani declared on Iranian TV on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
He said that if the United States wants to have negotiations with Iran then it must lift all sanctions.
On Monday, Iran threatened to take further steps to reduce compliance with the 2015 deal in about a months time if Europe still failed to protect Iran from US sanctions.
With the continuation of the inaction of the Europeans in carrying out their commitments (to the nuclear deal) ... Iran will take a third step (in reducing commitments) in approximately one month, said Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, according to Reuters.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday mocked the US sanctions regime against Iran, including the recent decision to impose sanctions against him personally, saying the US not Iran had been left isolated, claiming America is standing alone against Tehran.
The US is standing alone in the world. It cannot create a coalition (in the Gulf), said Zarif, according to Reuters.

A war with Iran will involve the extermination of the Mullahs. It will not be done by the USA but the Iranian people themselves.
This is what President Clinton did to Yugoslavia in 1999 and they surrendered.
We have the Americans surrounded, and are pounding them!
Are they bucking for more effective sanctions?
How many hours would it take to knock out their long and intermediate range missile sites? Then to decimate their short range, surface-to-air, and radar sites? And then hit a few military complexes? Then what happens after that?
War is Hell. Don’t count on easy endings.
US forces occupy Iran, and stays for 10 years minimum, untold casualties and total fatigue and disgust. That’s what happens.
dismantle nuke and icbm research and testing programs. confiscate strategic materials,
Then leave. Ket them be responsible for their own rehab
If memory serves, Iran is big on petroleum but short on refinery capacity. Take out whatever refineries they have and see how they like it.
Sure, Tehran Tom.
Oooooo. I’m shaking in my cowboy boots.
“US forces occupy Iran, and stays for 10 years minimum, untold casualties and total fatigue and disgust. Thats what happens.”
Henny Penny, you have the wrong President.
Rouhani: ‘war with Iran will be the mother of all wars’
Skin that smoke wagon then, rag boy.
Saddam Hussein once said that. I recall he was later quoted, from his hiding hole, to say "Just kidding.".... Or was it, "Suprise, you found me!"?
Let’s get realistic. A war with Iran would need the approval of several regional powers there. I think Trump could build a coalition with most of them. I think Saudi Arabia, along with their a few of their neighbors. Of course, Isreal would join but we would tell them to “sit this one out” again, so as not to dissuade the enemies of their enemies from joining. But it would also need to include commitments that only local Islamic countries and forces be allowed to invade and pillage Iran. I do think, maybe hope, the Iranian people would rise up to govern themselves more responsibly. They are not quite isolated to the extent of NK, Iraq or Afghanistan. Their people know how the rest of the world lives.
It is also somewhat reassuring that the Persians are NOT stupid. I know their leadership is totally insane, but as a people, they are not dumb.
I sure hope so. If the province of Khuzistan secedes, there go Iran’s oil revenues. Problem solved. No war. No occupation. No fatigue or disgust. Instead, Trump becomes the hero of the Ahwazi Arabs, and Arabs in general maybe (OK. Maybe not).
I know...right? Like,40 years ago I helped plot a strike on Tehran that would have melted everything for hundreds of miles. We had rogue pilots who desperately wanted to be the ones on first drop. If the anxiousness and tension was so high then, imagine what the technology of today could do. To completely take out all threats and yet not cause nearly the damage. It would indeed be the mother of all wars in that it would be total devastation (for them) in such a short time. The “vacated” country would make an excellent retirement destination for ex-pats.
I pity the population because of the stupidity of their Mullas or whatever they are. The people there are nice but the government is a bit wacky.
