Iran’s Khamenei says Europe cannot save nuclear deal, help economy
2018-08-30
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday cast doubt on the ability of European countries to save Iran’s 2015 nuclear accord with world powers, now under threat following a US withdrawal, and said Tehran might abandon the agreement.

Khamenei cautioned President Hassan Rouhani not to rely too much on European support as he came under increased pressure at home over his handling of the economy in the face of US sanctions, with key ministers under attack by parliament.

#5  The Sanctions WILL remain in place. Reality. Iran will have to deal with Reality.
Iran's Oil is not going to market. Reality. They will have to choose then and put up or shut up on the closure of the Straites of Hormuz. They can threaten all they please and the French wills squitter but Matthis down at Defense is a tough old bird and he won't even blink. And Trump won't back down and will turn Matthis loose.
Iran can expect France to be the first to fall in line with a strike on Iran if the US pays and leads and France can wank and watch.
Iran doesn't HAVE any friends who will actually DO anything to help.
The US will go after Khuzestan Province ( examine that strategically if you are perceptive ). And we can stand off and reduce Iran to bouncing marbles. The Iranian people will do the rest. They are already biting each other now. Iran will become a cage full of dog crap ad white eyeballs. And we may never give Khuzestan Province back..we may give it to the Saudis. Let them "adminster" the place.
And Iran can adapt to the reality and eat all the rosewater flavored ice cream ( Allah loves it ) they can spoon in a bowl.

#2  Iran’s nuclear-tipped missiles — as soon as they have enough uranium — can reach Europe, Herb. Or, shared with R&D partner North Korea, all sorts of other interesting countries that are not Israel. As usual, Israel is merely the canary in the coal mine.

Tell me again why precisely it is that Iran needs nuclear weapons?
