Iran supreme leader: Nuclear deal won't change policy toward U.S.

Don't expect this deal to stick. Iran is a sworn enemy of Israel, and has vowed to make sure they cease to exist.

Anti-Americanism is part of the Ayatollahs' raison d'être. They seem to follow the normal pattern of tyrants who require a foreign devil to keep the populace at bay. I don't have my hopes up that they will change anytime soon.

This deal wasnt brokered by only by America.... France, Germany, Russia, Britain and China were all part of the negotiations... What kind of deal would Israel and its supporters welcomed?? None of course. Israel has a vested interest in maintaining a perpetual standoff which is in not in the regions overall long term interests...

I'm not willing to put Israel's interest above our own. If they want to team up with the Saudis and mount an attack, then go for it. We're just not interested.

Iran didn't lose 97% of its income for no reason. Iran changed their minds many times about what it was for. First power, then for cancer treatment, then noooooooooo for pride. A trail would find them guilty instantly. That is proof just like a murder case without direct evidence finds them guilty. Iran has lied many times over and changed their story. You don't change your story once, let alone 4 times if you're telling the truth.

But if the Iranians nuke Israel, don't you think there will be paybacks? So you're not interested in a nuclear exchange?

Death to America and Israel continues!

This verifies and certifies the "usefulness" of the current so called negotiations and agreement as been a "sham" on the part of both parties.

The sad thing is that this also verifies and certifies that this is not simply an economic war but actually a religious war (involving military might) which may have much more and farther implications of which everyone here and abroad do not want to "recognize" and at least "consider" the possibility. The problem is in the "willingness" to rationally look at reality.

It was not in what is said and done, but in what was not said and done to this point. From this announcement, it clearly states that it is in both what is and is not. This also means "global" involvement and not just regional or between US and Iran.

It is absolutely foolish to think that the so called supreme leader is not connected to others in every other country with similar visions and objectives. Which means a global "announcement" may be near.

Whether this is tied in with countries like China and Russia, it is difficult to say. However, it is definitely closely tied in with the current US administration and menly legislators which "wanted"all of this to happen.

Could any rational person not see this coming ? We're being naive to the point of this entire charade being perpetrated by our very own governments! Islam is ALL, in the minds of islamists & giving one inch of anything on the part of the west is a deadly gambit . They are, in my mind the "New Nazis and unless one is deaf,dumb & blind they realise it!

This SHOULD prove they have NO INTENTION of keeping this agreement.

That's why the ball is in Iran's court, they can either do the right thing or they can continue on the path, build a bomb, threaten their enemies with destruction, thus ensuring and sealing their fate and own demise from here on out.

This SHOULD prove they have NO INTENTION of keeping this agreement.

Anyone believing they would is a fool.

So when would you like the invasion, guys? Excuse me while I clear out a path so you can back away, then plug my ears while you pretend you have a magical 3rd option, like unilateral sanctions from the US with no international backing.

Worked so far before. Slowly, but definitely surely. As far as invasion, that's a complete delusional statement you live like to dangle, just like the constant drum banging of bogus racism supposedly displayed by the GOP. Try again.

Sanctions without international support worked before? I guess we'll add that to your fantasy file. I know you aren't allowed to support the deal, but why do you keep saying things that are too silly even for you to believe? Just say nothing.

Of course Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is saying that Iran will not immediately climb into bed with the Americans despite any agreement. It is useful to understand that the Ayatollah is similar to the US Supreme Court; he may weigh in on occasion, but real policy is made by the elected government. Still, this deal without his approval likely would not have gone through. Just as in the US, though, the conservatives need to give lip-service to their faction. Viewed as such, this is a positive thing.

Similarly, would you expect Bush, Walker, Graham, Cruz, Carson, Huckabee, Rubio, Paul, Christie, Trump, Perry, or Santorum to express anything other than a wish for "regime change" - AKA "death to Iran" - at this point? Even Obama has put the dampers on expectations for short-term improvement in relations, though he has expressed hope for progress in the medium term.

Perhaps Obama is channeling Ronald Reagan, the last US president who had attempted to improve US-Iranian relations. The difference, of course, is that Obama is doing it legally, whereas Reagan should have been impeached (he was saved only due to his age, the limited time left in his term, and his close proximity to Nixon).

Sanctions without international support worked before? I guess we'll add that to your fantasy file.

Fantasy, is that what you libs are calling it now. Iran was hurting and the more pressure we would have kept on the regime and walked away from any unconditional and unwillingness to cease threatening their neighbors and making a bomb, they would have cracked, they needed this deal far more than we do.

But like I said, for Dems, glory, tabloid, fame and Fallon are the only things that they care about.

I know you aren't allowed to support the deal, but why do you keep saying things that are too silly even for you to believe? Just say nothing.

Because unlike you libs, I do care about what happens to Israel and the Saudis from the standpoint, this idiot of a president has just started WW3. As if the Israelis and the Saudis will just allow Iran to have a bomb. Never in this life time, but I just feel. Ad for the innocent Iranian people that have nothing to do with the fanatical mullahs driving that country over a cliff.

You can care about Israel and Saudi Arabia all you want, but it doesn't suddenly make claims of stronger sanctions without China or Russia (or possibly Europe) on board more credible. It's an obviously illogical position and I'm surprised you haven't been able to manufacture a better one.

Actually, it's not. We have the power to enforce an embargo and keep it in place. It can be done, this chicken... President won't do it, but gives Iran what it wants and we get nothing, not even our 4 American hostages. But hey, as long as he can brag on Jimmy Falln's set he brokered this deal that's all that matters.

Iran also continues to call for the destruction of Israel, which Khamenei described in his speech as a “terrorist, baby-killer government.”

Khamenei and Iran did NOT continue to call for the destruction of Israel, it WAS the leader of their revolutionary guard who said that. Though Khamenei DID describe Israel as baby killing terrorist, the above sentence tries to link the two comments together as if they came from the same person or from all of Iran.

#Israel's security will not be ensured whether there will be an #IranDeal or not.

bass: Actually, it's not. We have the power to enforce an embargo and keep it in place. It can be done

I understand your position. You think the U.S. can unilaterally impose effective sanctions (and embargo) on Iran even if Russia, China, and Europe abandon us for blowing up a deal they all wanted. In fact, we will be so effective that Iran will agree to declare everything and give the US instant access to all of their military facilities.

I think it's a wonderful fantasy. Who told you to say that?
