Ayatollah Ali Khamenei outlines demands for Europe to preserve Iran nuclear deal - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday listed a set of
conditions he says European powers must comply with in order to continue
the 2015 nuclear deal.
Warning that his country would start its nuclear activities if Europe
fails to provide guarantees [...] The Iranian leader deemed the
continuation of the nuclear agreement possible only if European leaders
provide six concrete guarantees -- including a promise not to take issue
with Iran's ballistic missile program and guarantee Iranian oil is
'completely sold.'"
Comment: Well here you go, the other shoe has dropped. Talk about turning the tables! You have to admire, just a bit, Iran's chutzpah. Far from being a supplicant and going to Europe turban-in-hand with a humble request to please continue to nuclear deal they are setting forth conditions that Europe must meet for Iran to grudgingly accede to the deal they already agreed to. If you give someone a set of conditions they must meet, is there a word for that? It kind of sounds like an ultimatum. Right? If the EU had any self-respect at all they would never tolerate this mid-rank power dictating to them. I'm thinking Europe will probably cave, so stay tuned!
