Iran's Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said on Wednesday that the nuclear deal reached last year with world powers can't be renegotiated, despite Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's pledge to do so if elected.
Speaking after a lecture in Stockholm and quoted by The Associated Press (AP), Zarif said the deal "is not an Iran-U.S. agreement for the Republican front-runner or anybody else to renegotiate. It's an international understanding annexed to a Security Council resolution."
Trump has denounced the deal and said he would seek to renegotiate it if elected president. One of those times came during his speech at the AIPAC policy conference, where he declared that his number one number priority is to roll back the “disastrous” deal with Iran.
“This deal is catastrophic, for America, for Israel and for the whole Middle East,” he said at the time.
Trump’s son Eric said this week his father decided to launch his campaign due to the controversial deal.
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has said she supports the agreement to rein in Iran's nuclear program, which was endorsed by the UN Security Council, noted AP.
It's not possible "to renegotiate a text that is annexed" to such a resolution, Zarif said on Wednesday.

Just put the sanctions nack im place piecemeal if necessary.
But then they won’t like America anymore./s
Dream on, Mohammad Javad Zarif!
Zarif can believe all he wants, but there is going to be a REAL president in office next year and Trump is not going to be a sucker like what they are used to dealing with.
Just freeze their assets again.
Better yet, confiscate their assets and give them to Israel.
We can easily do what they have done all along...pretend it doesn’t exist.
Can we please change how you say, American Constitution so we can add an additional 4 year term for your current leader, Obama?
You see, we love him very much as he let's us do what we want and asks for nothing in return.
You Americans, so naive, so stupid. so, YES, PLEASE KEEP THIS CLOWN, OOPS, I MEAN KEEP YOUR PRESIDENT IN POWER. We like him very much.
No thanks. Such a hot potato is better kept on ice.
Wanna bet? We withdraw from the deal, hit you hard with real sanctions, and you'll come whimpering to the table like an abused puppy.
Zarif has just said that he has successfully conned the United States, and there’s not a thing that can be done about it. I think not.
It was never approved by Congress so it is not binding. Trump can simply repudiate it the day he takes office.
Did they ever sign it?
Zarif, Bing, Bang and Boom!
LOL... They would love that extra 4 years.
Did they ever sign it?
No. The Iranian position is it is only binding on the other parties.
Anything and everything is always subject to negotiation. #artofthedeal.
Drop a MOAB on his palace and watch how fast he decides to renegotiate. If he’s feeling extra-stubborn, contact the princes and high-rollers and tell them their Western toys will start getting broken unless he decides to negotiate...or unless someone else were to *AHEM* suddenly be in the position of negotiator.
The State Department has admitted that an official intentionally deleted several minutes of video footage from a 2013 press briefing, where a top spokeswoman seemed to acknowledge misleading the press over the Iran nuclear deal, Fox News reported Wednesday. “There was a deliberate request [to delete the footage] – this wasn’t a technical glitch,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said, in admitting that an unidentified official had a video editor “excise” the segment.
The State Department had faced questions earlier this year over the block of missing tape from a December 2013 briefing. At that briefing, then-spokeswoman Jen Psaki was asked by Fox News’ James Rosen about an earlier claim that no direct, secret talks were underway between the U.S. and Iran – when, in fact, they were. Psaki at the time seemed to admit the discrepancy, saying, “There are times where diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress. This is a good example of that.”
Fox News later discovered, however, that this exchange was missing from the department’s official website and its YouTube channel. Eight minutes from the briefing, including the comments on the Iran deal, were edited out and replaced with a white-flash effect. ...... (Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...

Arkansas senator Tom Cotton hammered the president's foreign policy staff Tuesday morning, explaining why he's become "public enemy number one at the White House" over his opposition to the Iran deal. "I guess I became public enemy number one at the White House because I'm telling the truth about the Iran deal.
Cotton spoke out w/ radio host Hugh Hewitt, after Hewitt played a clip of White House press secretary Josh Earnest rejecting Cotton's arguments about the Iran deal.
"And that chump may think that subsidizing Iran's nuclear program with millions of tax dollars is a laughing matter. I don't think it's that funny. And if he or anyone else over there had ever been man enough to put on the uniform and pick up a rifle, and have to lead men in dodging Iranian-made bombs, they might not be laughing, either," the freshman senator added.
