Iran on nuke deal: 'We did not agree to dismantle anything' - CNN.com

(CNN) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif insisted Wednesday that the Obama administration mischaracterizes concessions by his side in the six-month nuclear deal with Iran, telling CNN in an exclusive interview that "we did not agree to dismantle anything."
Zarif told CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto that terminology used by the White House to describe the agreement differed from the text agreed to by Iran and the other countries in the talks -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany.
"The White House version both underplays the concessions and overplays Iranian commitments" under the agreement that took effect Monday, Zarif said in Davos, Switzerland, where he was attending the World Economic Forum.
Israel was right. It looks like force is the only thing these ****ers respect. I predict there's going to be a war eventually. Obama either lied to us, or is a fool.

Progress has been made, he said, but "it's yet too early to talk about trust."
Obama fed us a bunch of hooey.
 
Probably just him appeasing hard line people in Iran.
 
No, probably closer to the truth.

Eh, you just wanna see it that way. I'm all for any peaceful options on the table. A war should always be the last resort.

True, but people of the ME seem to be very treacherous, and sometimes I worry that people like Kerry are too eager to claim victory by making foolish concessions. Reagan adopted a Russian saying, "Trust but verify". Never completely trust these bastards, because they've seen the North Koreans get away with things.

I'm pretty sure the deal lets us check out the progress whenever we want. How is that not "trusting but verifying?"

After all that business with Saddam Hussein jerking the inspectors around, I don't believe any deal with any of those assholes can be trusted.

I'm sure those inspections will follow the same methodology as sports drug testing: really super duper random..... so long as you give them a 6 month advanced notice.

Unless they say what you want to hear, apparently...

I wonder if you'll realize what I'm talking about.

Would you trust an American?

I mean you've met them!

Understand your point, even if you could trust the Iranians to keep it in the box.....some of their cohorts not so much.
 
The lower the IQ, the quicker one resorts to violence as a tool for conflict resolution.

That's all fine and good, unless your opponent sees war as a first resort.

I don't think they do. It's pretty obvious they don't, actually.

And clearly they don't. Should we compare the number of years that the US has been at war over the last hundred years, with Iran's record. Quit buying the propaganda for war and join the peace bandwagon, it really is the better route.

What makes it obvious that they don't? Their refusal to halt nuke production, or sending naval cruise into the Atlantic?

They can't, but I'm not seeing any indications that they clearly don't want to. Iran is Hebbolah's #1 supporter.

Your quite the deal. You measure Iran's interest to run to war as a first resort, rather than last, by pointing to them sending a ship/ships into the Atlantic, when US ships are in most all waters!!

And the US is SA's number one supporter. Stop feigning a position of righteousness to the US when we just as readily support terrorists when it meets with our "interests". Iran doesn't project it's military around the world interfering in everybody else's affairs. If the US can do so on the merits of "national interests" then so can others. And because the US has been doing that, at length, watch for more countries to be projecting themselves as some measure of push back, however small that may be.
 
I love that you trust the Iranians. Hilarious.

I don't, but why wouldn't they want to brag they reached agreement with the West if they could. They wanted the agreement didn't....to reduce sanctions. If they advertised they ****ed us over, why would then reduce sanctions?

Well, they haven't been at war with anybody in over 20 years, and they did agree to the deal that would stop their nuclear program, so yeah.

You obviously do. You're such a patriot that the Iranians are to be trusted more than the President.

#Merica!
