Iran’s foreign minister took to YouTube on Thursday to criticize President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw from the nuclear deal, saying Iran will not “renegotiate or add onto” the atomic accord.
Mohammad Javad Zarif’s video, which was also posted to Trump’s favorite social media platform, Twitter, appeared to be taking his message to the masses after earlier speaking to news outlets across the United States to defend the deal.
It comes as Trump has signaled he will withdraw from the agreement by May 12 if it is not renegotiated and changed. Those changes have included proposals to limit Iran’s ballistic missile program, which Tehran says it has as a defensive deterrent. […]
Airplane manufacturers, carmakers and others have rushed into Iran after the accord. However, some Western firms have grown increasingly reluctant to enter the market, in part over Trump’s constant criticism on the campaign trail and from the White House on the deal. …

Look Iran, its like this. The USA is the remaining superpower in the world, even Macron and Merkel understand this now. Trump likes to swing his d*ck around. You better duck or your country will be broken like Iraq and Syria. That is all.
Who didn’t figure that that would be their starting position?
Didn’t Kerry say it wasn’t really a Deal anyway but why did Obama give them all the Billions
Great, If everything goes as planned with NK and there’s a lot to consider with that slimy Rocket man, maybe we can move all the assets to Iran and stick it up their Ass.
Iran...you are finished, your own people are against you. If you think Putin and Russia are going to save you, you are smoking too much reefer out of your drug pipes. Don’t push Trump and the most powerful nation in the world too far. You have internal troubles that will take you down sooner or later!!! Wake up, Trumpie & the PRC (China) are the boss of the world!!! Your days are numbered...Iran.
Red China is one of Iran’s biggest allies.
Frozen assets.
Obama certainly fumbled this aspect of the deal, but it was their money he was returning.
It was not their money, i.e. the Mullahs. It was the money of Iran’s people, from the era of the Shah, and the Mullahs have no right to it.
Money, money, money. Who cares what big business wants? That's why Nixon and Carter "opened up" trade to China. We got a pittance and they built a rich and powerful empire. Now we have to empower a terrorist state because Boeing can add $0.20/share to their quarterly earnings? NO!
(Communist goals for the USA)Turning Nixon, who earlier was well known for his crusade against Alger Hiss but as POTUS boasted of being a “Keynesian conservative” (oxymoron), must have been a watershed moment for the commies.
- Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. …
- Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the UN. …
- Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. …
- Infiltrate and gain control of big business. …
Revolutions have consequences...the money was returned to the internationally recognized government in Iran.
Should have been doled out slowly over 15 years as a lever to ensure compliance, but that was the deal the US agreed to.
The money should never have been given to those who took our embassy and held our people hostage.
The US should have toppled the ayatollahs in 1980...
Too late for that now, unless the neocon militias are planning to invade.
We will see how the PRC (China) when the choice becomes either the USA or Iran. If China wishes to co-exist with the USA, it will drop Iran in a New York minute. The big guys in the world to come are the USA, the PRC (China) & India.
The negotiation is continuous and the statement by the leadership there is part of it.
Red China was an ally of convenience in Iraq; they got the oil and they got to aid Iran in the process. There is no trusting a communist state; one can only make a show of power to make them go along with you, but they could never be a true partner.
And if India regresses to its past socialistic proclivities and gets closer to Red China than the USA, it’ll be to their detriment too.
Word-humping? Rogue states become “internationally recognized governments”. That would be like returning the Tsar’s treasures to the USSR.
Doling any money out to Iran ensures no compliance with the phony JCPOA, which was admittedly (by Obama and his “Inshallah” team and the P5+1) only supposed to slow Iran’s nuke program down by a decade.
THat cool with me:-)
