Stern words from Iran: US cannot 'expect to stay safe'
The AP reports: "Iran’s foreign minister warned the U.S. on Monday that it 'cannot
expect to stay safe' after launching what he described as an economic
war against Tehran, taking a hard-line stance amid a visit by Germany’s
top diplomat seeking to defuse tensions.
A stern-faced Mohammad Javad Zarif offered a series of threats over the
ongoing tensions gripping the Persian Gulf. [...] Europe has yet to
offer Iran a way to get around the newly imposed U.S. sanctions.
Meanwhile, a July 7 deadline — imposed by Iran — looms for Europe to
find a way to save the unraveling deal. Otherwise, Iran has warned it
will resume enriching uranium closer to weapons-grade levels."
Comment: Although the subject of Iran has dropped off the radar for most Americans, it remains a flashpoint for those in the national security community, who continue to see it as a situation that could easily spiral out of control.
