UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iran’s president says U.S. sanctions against his country amount to “economic terrorism” that won’t sway Iran.
Iran’s Hassan Rouhani told world leaders at the General Assembly on Tuesday that the sanctions amount to an “economic war” that’s disrupting trade and will harm people beyond Iran.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has reinstated sanctions on Iran after pulling out the U.S. of the multinational 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Trump says the deal was a “horrible” agreement that didn’t do enough to contain “aggression” from Iran.
In remarks earlier Tuesday, Trump predicted that the pressure from renewed sanctions would force Iran back to the table to negotiate.
But Rouhani noted that Iranians has endured sanctions before and “can overcome this difficult phase as well.”
Just wait until John Bolton’s speech later today:
America is just aching for another war…
Yet no one laughed at his speech; I wonder why.
… while We The People of the USA prepare for the inevitable revolutionary war to depose this government. Washington, DC will not be able to handle external and internal war. Implosion and disintegration of the nation is on the horizon, to be finalized when the country breaks up into separate nations. This is the path taken by the Allied Powers at Yalta after WW II: break up the Wehrmacht into 5 separate entities such that they can never again aggregate for WW III. Same policy to be implemented here in the USA soon, except the USA’s people will break up the nation on their own, with no international involvement. A good vision of this near future of the USA is described in Greer’s excellent book “Twilight’s Last Gleaming”.
Trump predicted that the pressure from renewed sanctions would force Iran back to the table to negotiate.
WTF How can you negotiate with a liar who changes his mind at the drop of a hat
Brent crude spiked to a shade over eighty two dollars a barrel this morning after a big move yesterday. I believe that Iran stating they held the Saudis, UAE, Israel and America accountable for the parade deaths is behind the move.
Bolton:
It was not supposed to permanently prevent any such thing. It was designed to slow their nuclear bomb making capabilities down for ten years. By then, we were supposed to all be ready to hold hands and sing kumbaya or something.
