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.
Is there any possibility that Israel/Mossad are providing underground information to Romney? You know Netanyahu would LOVE to see Obama the Incompetent go down the tubes.
If this is true, Obama should officially be toast. All his antics that were supposedly intended to keep Iran from going nuclear were just stalling. Obama is a foreign enemy combatant occupying our White House, and his intention is to see the Islamists overrun the entire world - destroying the US and Israel and instituting worldwide sharia - just as he told the Egyptian ambassador privately in January of 2010.
We’re asking. No one is answering. But we DO know obama sent a secret envoy to Iran to ‘sit in’ on some negotiation as an ‘observer’, so I believe this 100%.
Obama is a cyst on the hemorrhoids of mankind.
“Just in time for a debate.”
I smell a setup. If Romney jumps on this, it will turn out to have been the wrong thing to do.
This little ditty is very telling too.....especially in light of the O administration propaganda line that brags of putting ‘crippling sanctions’ on Iran and that it is having the desired effect:

“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.”
If true the ploy makes perfect sense to me. It would not be directed at people like you or me who won’t support obama anyway. It would be directed to independents and mushy middle roaders who like parties and countries to negotiate. If this story is true the details would not get out in time. Obama would say the iran problem is solved and the deal is solid. since no one knows what the deal is it would be harder to challenge obama’s assertions.
I had the same reaction, but maybe Romney is smart enough to phrase it in a way that attacks both Obama and the Complicit Media.
Maybe a question asked of both Obama and Schieffer: There are reports from X (and name ALL sources including the Swiss) that say Y(nicely condensed summary of this revelation). Mr. Precedent, would you comment and Mr. Schieffer would you research this and report your findings as you and all the press should do on behalf of the people who depend on you for their news!
“..accuse Romney of shooting first and asking questions later..”
I agree - the Iranians cannot be trusted and this seems like a set up. Romney absolutely should not mention it unless he can 100% confirm it from a completely trustworthy third party. That this is a trap was my immediate first reaction. Iranians are Muslims and are allowed to lie (even encouraged) with impunity if it “advances” their Islamicist agenda (complete spread of Mohammedism) and concerns dealings with the infidel.
obama, as cic, should face a military tribunal for high treason and aiding and abetting enemies, (plural,) of the United States.
What makes you think he wanted this information out now?
It was a secret message. They were outed by:
1)”Reza Kahlili, a former Revolutionary Guard member”
2)”Hossain Ebrahimi told reporters yesterday that Obama sent the regime a secret message.”
3) “The Iranian regime revealed on Saturday that the Obama Administration sent them a secret message through the Swiss Embassy recognizing their nuclear rights.”
4) The Swiss embassy
5) The NYSlimes went with the story because they are happy about it.
I would guess that Obastard wanted to save this for after the election but got outed early. Remember Obastard first denied the NY Slimes report.
Now that it’s out I’m sure he will try to spin it as a good thing for America and the idiots will believe him.
He has no shame and he’s a traitor but his AUDACITY has no bounds.
By not MOVING TO IMPEACH OBAMA, the US Congress
supports this TREASON, every day.
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Amen to that! And welcome back, Diogenesis. You were missed here at FR
evidently they need mittens for prez so that they can have a reason to nuke Israel ???
Let’s see that “secret proposal,” Pres. Obama. We thought you were waiting until after the election to sell us out to Russia, Iran, the Muslim countries etc. etc.
For all we know Obastard was soliciting money out of the deal.
Give me untraceable campaign money now and I’ll come out after the election and support your right to nuclear weapons.
That seems to be his MO. Pay for play.
No, it means a new president, and Iran can start talks all over again, biding time.
It’s a reset button, thus they are hoping for Romney.
Each new president has given them 3 years to bullsh*t the administration.
The changing of the guard causes chaos.
I totally agree and if he should steal this election...we have to organize a major march on Washington to demand his impeachment!!
I am talkin a milionS of man, woman and child march!
ENOUGH!!
Baraq Hussein Ubama recognizes the Islamists’ right to bear arms against Da Jooz.
Reason: Iran has been demonized since the Carter days and rightfully so. That is not something to easily overcome no matter what the demographic. It will not sway the independents, although it may encourage Bambi's peacenik Code Pink brain-washed ignorant student commie hippy types. However, as often reported, the glow (enthusiasm) is no longer there for their Savior!
