Iran's president says 'talks are useless' in dealing with US
[DAWN] Iran's president struck a muscular tone on dealings with the US, saying Thursday that "talks are useless" as Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers crumbles further.

President Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
made the comment in a speech in Tehran during the unveiling of the Bavar-373, a long-range surface-to-air missile system that he described as an improvement to the Russian S-300.

"Now that our enemies do not accept logic, we cannot respond with logic," Rouhani said in the televised speech.

He added: "When the enemy launches a missile against us, we cannot give a speech and say: 'Mr. Rocket, please do not hit our country and our innocent people. Rocket-launching sir, if you can please hit a button and self-destroy the missile in the air.'"

On Wednesday, Iran's state TV reported that the Bavar-373 is able to recognise up to 100 targets at a same time and confront them with six different weapons.

#1 Hardliners on both sides, no surprise talks are fruitless. US wants regime change in Iran, which will surely fix the problem. Just like it did when the US endorsed regime change in 1979, and the CIA coup that overthrew Iran's democratic government in the 1950s. One more regime change will surely do it!

#2 That was Carter's doing. He was spineless.

#4 Herb loves him the mullahs! It's the "temporary marriages", isn't it, Herb?

As for their new "defense system" -- it can track hundreds of targets, and engage six. Sounds like a winning proposition!
