Iranian FM Zarif to 47 GOP Senators: You’re ignorant of international law
Jihad Watch ^ | 03/10/2015 | Robert Spencer

How dare they try to get in the way of a perfectly good appeasement agreement? The audacity! “Iranian FM Zarif to U.S. Senators: You Are Ignorant Of International Law,” Tehran Times, March 10, 2015:

“ TEHRAN – The Iranian foreign minister on Monday reacted to an open letter to Iran’s leaders by 47 U.S. Republican senators who had warned Tehran that any nuclear deal that the Islamic Republic signs with President Barack Obama’s administration won’t last after Obama leaves office.

Mohammad Javad Zarif said the letter lacks “legal validity” and shows that the signatories of the letter are “ignorant of international law[.]”

“In our view this letter has no legal validity and is just a propaganda scheme,” Zarif noted.

Expressing surprise on how it is possible that the legislators of a country write a letter against their own president and government to the leaders of another country, Zarif said, “The letter by the senators show that not only they are alien to international law but even not familiar with the details of the their own constitution about the authority of the president” in implementing foreign agreements.

Got a Iranian lecturing American senators on U.S. Constitutional law? Might as well have Obama lecturing for all the good it’s going to do Iran.

Hey moron raghead, it is not a legal letter.

It is a warning.

The next warning will be a mushroom cloud, if it were up to me.

I was under the impression the Senate has a say in treaties.

Of course I could be wrong and all power is in the hands of King Barack.

The President may, with the consent of two-thirds of the Senate, make treaties with foreign nations. Otherwise the President doesn’t have the power to unilaterally make a treaty with a foreign government.

International law is irrelevant at least until there’s an international treaty. (besides, who’s gonna enforce it, iran? ). Haha. And anyway, there’s no International treaty unless and until such time as it gets a 2/3 approval vote in the US Senate. Period. Iranian islamobazis, KMA.

Do the Iranians get their talking points from Obama, or vice versa?
