Just two days after President Barack Obama urged the Iranian people to take advantage of an “historic opportunity” to resolve the nuclear issue, an Iranian crowd on Saturday chanted “Death to America”—and the country’s Supreme Leader agreed.

According to Reuters, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke in northeastern Iran, where he accused the U.S. of using economic pressure and “bullying” to try to turn his countrymen against Islamic rule.

Khamenei, who has the last word on all matters of state, reiterated in his speech that Tehran would not be pressured into giving in to Western demands in the negotiations with major powers.

Khamenei denounced the sanctions and what he described as the “arrogant” Western powers, blaming them and regional players for the halving of oil prices since last June, which has further squeezed Iran’s economy. …

Are these lunatics going to give us our embassy back as part of the deal?

Iran's NOT a free country.

Making an appeal to 'the people of Iran' makes as much sense as making an appeal to slaves on a plantation.

Only thugs have power in Iran.

[Bluestocking]

Apparently the Ayatollahs have such contempt for Obama they believe he’ll still agree to drop sanctions on Iran even after witnessing anti-American flag-burning riots in Iran’s streets.

What’s next, daily burnings of Obama in effigy in the middle of Teheran? And why not a few practice missile attacks by the Iranians on American cities with conventional weapons before creating their nuclear bombs?
