Iran's Khamenei Threatens To 'Set Fire' To Nuclear Deal If West Violates

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, threatened on Tuesday to "set fire" to the nuclear deal sealed with world powers if U.S. presidential candidates reneged on the agreement.

Presumptive Republican candidate Donald Trump said last August it would be hard to "rip up" the deal, but if elected president he would "police that contract so tough they don't have a chance".

Iran can expect a shift in relations with the United States to a more aggressive posture under a Republic president, a reversal of the warming trend nurtured by Democratic President Barack Obama.

"The Islamic Republic won't be the first to violate the nuclear deal. Staying faithful to a promise is a Koranic order," Khamenei said, according to state media. "But if the threat from the American presidential candidates to tear up the deal becomes operational then the Islamic Republic will set fire to the deal."

1. If Trump becomes President...

... Boom! Boom!

But he won't become President. So chill the eff out.

2. Well, Hillary has made clear that she wants...

...to be enemies with the Iranians:

Hillary Clinton’s Disturbing Comments Calling Iranians Her “Enemies”

[geek tragedy]

3. in that same phrase she called the Republicans her enemies, do you think she is going to bomb

Reince Priebus's house?

[Herman4747]

4. I don't know. Do you think her acts of belligerence...

...will entail only bombing?

Who is more knowledgeable about this than either you or I? Ah yes, Hillary's good buddy, the war criminal Henry Kissinger! So go ask him!


How's it like supporting a candidate who seeks out a war criminal for foreign policy advice, geek tragedy? Do tell so that we Bernie supporters can learn from you!

[geek tragedy]

5. Kissinger is an odious figure who, unfortunately, due to his status as former

Secretary of State and connections with the DC Establishment, gets shown far more respect than he is due.

Though I must have missed where she relies upon his advice. He publicly bashed Obama's and Clinton's policies for being too mean to Putin and Assad.

6. When Hillary backs those overthrowing...

...the democratically elected president of Honduras, does it remind you of anything, geek tragedy?

Ah, yes. Chile, in the 1970s.



Hillary has learned very well from her mentor, Henry Kissinger.

[geek tragedy]

7. Kissinger helped orchestrate that.

Obama and Clinton were overcautious in not reacting strongly enough to the coup.

Obama made it quite clear he had no appetite to intervene in Latin American nations' internal politics, even given developments like what's going on in Brazil and Honduras.

8. There are at least several essays available...

...on Hillary's role in supporting those who undertook the coup in Honduras, including:

and

Her mentor, Henry the K, would be so proud.

9. there's no substantiation to the claim Clinton had any role

in the actual coup itself.

plenty of criticism to her response to the coup, but none about her actually being responsible for it.

[Herman4747]

10. substantiation not necessary.

You don't support those who overthrow democratically elected governments, for by so doing, you prevent the restoration of those who were overthrown.

11. "substantiation not necessary"

and scene.
