Barack Obama and John Kerry want Congress and the American public to support the Iran deal because it supposedly ties up the mullahcracy for 15 years in regards to nuclear weapons. Both Kerry and Obama have insisted that this deal will be in Israel’s best interests, and that it will allow for greater engagement with the world’s most prominent state sponsor of terror. Iran’s Supreme Leader made it clear he’s working on another timetable altogether, and certainly on a much different agenda. Earlier today, Ali Khameini declared that Israel will cease to exist in less than 25 years, and pledged to commit jihad against the Israelis every day between now and then:
Iran’s supreme leader predicts that Israel will not exist in 25 years, and rules out any new negotiations with the “Satan,” the United States.
In remarks published Wednesday on his personal website and in posts on Twitter, the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responds to what he says are claims that Israel will be safe for that period after the July nuclear agreement.
“After nuclear negotiations, the Zionist regime said that they will not be worried about Iran in the next 25 years,” Ayatollah Khamenei wrote. “I am telling you, first, you will not be around in 25 years’ time, and God willing, there will be no Zionist regime in 25 years. Second, during this period, the spirit of fighting, heroism and jihad will keep you worried every moment.”
Not exactly a confidence builder for a nuclear agreement, eh? This is the point that Obama and Kerry miss, but that Israel understands all too well. Even if Iran waits out the 15-year period on the nuclear pact, they will be in the clear at the end to produce nuclear weapons, with an economy that could then support such a drive. In the meantime, the hundreds of billions they get in unfrozen assets and economic growth through the end of sanctions will go into their proxy terror armies and attacks on Israel.
Well, how about that promise of more engagement? Khameini squelched that, too:
Iran’s Supreme Leader has said Tehran will not negotiate with the United States on any issue after the landmark nuclear deal with world powers in July, according to his official website on Wednesday.
The comments appeared to contradict more moderate president Hassan Rouhani, who said on Tuesday the Islamic Republic was ready to hold talks with the United States on ways to resolve Syria’s civil war.
“We negotiated with the U.S. on the nuclear issue for specific reasons. (The Americans) behaved well in the talks, but we didn’t and we won’t allow negotiation with the Americans on other issues,” Ayatollah Khamenei was quoted as saying.
“The Americans are not hiding their animosity towards Iran… Americans in the Congress are plotting and passing bills against us… Negotiations are a tool for them to influence Iran and to impose their will,” Ayatollah Khamenei said to hundreds of visitors to his offices.
Yeah, this deal’s working out really well.
Maybe they’re just joking around… you know, like Black Lives Matter.
Barack Obama, the drunk John Kerry, and Congress have murdered the entire population of the Nation of Israel and killed all future citizens of this country.
The fool will not stay is this country, he will leave with his boyfriend. reed the pedophile will vanish, bonner will die of alcoholism and copd, mitcfhel will suppot the nest piece of trailer trash running for the senate in his state, while all American’s left will be butched and enslaved. The fool is a muslim terrorrist, do not expect him to do anything but open the gates. Ever wonder why numerous genral and naval comandes resigned after refusing to deliver 14 nucleear devices to a private company which the pres was part of company. Surprise, all 14 nuclear weapons were delivered under new direction.
Israel has been surrounded by militant Muslims since its inception over 60 years ago.
It has been sneak attacked.
It has even been sneak attacked from three sides at once.
Oil-rich Muslim countries have backed their militant wings of this-or-that faction of Israel’s neighbors for decades.
What does Israel do?
By 2007 they had racked up their 159th Nobel Prize.
Their version of the CIA, their Mossad, has better intel into enemy camps than any other intel-gathering governmental agency.
Israel doesn’t always act overtly.
Sometimes they fight covertly.
They cause enemy scientists to defect.
They hack enemy nuclear computers in top secret labs, messing with them.
They infiltrate enemy camps and collect vital information.
They defend themselves regardless of fauxPR world opinion.
I’m not as worried about Israel as some people.
And, who of you really believes that Obama would go to war to destroy Israel just for defending itself?
He won’t go to war to defend anyone!
