Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says Tehran has “suspended” commitments to the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States last month amid renewed clashes with the US.

“The US has violated and suspended all its commitments within the framework of the Islamabad MOU,” he says in a statement carried by the Fars news outlet.

“We have also suspended our commitments; we are not implementing them, and we are busy defending the country,” he says.

Don’t put it past these creeps to do something radical like hitting the Panama Canal. The IRGC will die trying to kill us. We should help them go to “Paradise” where their 72 virgins await.

Good. The MOU was Iran friendly and not in the US best interests anyway.

I never figured out why Trump was so hard up for it.

Trump wants to be able to say he has done all he can to achieve a negotiated solution. The Iranians will not like what comes next.

One of his “Art of the Deal” poker player InfoWar* moves. With Trump pay little attention to what he says, watch what he does.

* Still unconvinced this works against religious fanatics whose idea of a win-win is we all die!
I guess proof will be in the pudding!

Their word isn’t worth the paper the memorandum was written on anyway.

I just assumed they stopped following the MOU the day after it was signed when they declared the strait closed and started firing on civilian vessels. Glad they made it official, I guess.

This now has only one outcome. Pound them into submission and accept only unconditional surrender. This should have been done 40 years ago and nipped in the bud.

Always wondered what the 72 virgins get. Then I found out that they magically stay virgins so they can be raped over and over again! A muslim jihadist dream.

The most capable commander I knew adhered to the philosophy of giving people every opportunity to correct a wrong. And when they failed to, all the suspended busts and counseling were in the file leading to their Article 15 or discharge.

The Area Defense Counsel (ADC) for the violator had nothing to challenge.

We saw some offenders discharged from the military before noon on the same day of their final offense.

Meanwhile, other commanders would be going back and forth with the JAG and the ADC for months, trying to resolve what was clearly a failing situation.

kazem, I've got a news flash for you, We don't give a f&^%, about your "commitments".

Try drinking salt water after you have no power for your desalination plants, try eating goat shit after you have no food...Oh, I forgot, you do that for religious and sexual reasons.

Trump is about to bring true HELL FIRE on your ignorant, 7th century ass, and allah will not save you.

Peace be with you, in the after life.

Carter gave that away [the Panama Canal].

So what? It doesn't mean they couldn't hurt us by blowing a lock gate. Might have safer access than CONUS.

I just said that to point out that these thugs have no problem at all seeking to damage us globally. Everything will be at risk until every one of those IRGC thugs is dead.
