[WATCH] Iranian Lawmakers Burn American Flag And Chant: ‘Death To America!’

Outraged over president Donald Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, Iranian lawmakers burned an American flag picture while chanting “death to America!”  The incident took place during a recent session of Iran’s parliament, and their anger and hostility are easily recognized.

Trump’s controversial decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear agreement sparked outrage across the international community and, in particular, among his allies in Europe who have vowed to adhere to the original agreement. And Israel has already bombed Syria where they believe Iranian weapons were being stored for use.  There were at least nine fatalities due to that airstrike, likely further angering Iranian lawmakers.

Iran has been vocal about their disgust with Trump withdrawing from the agreement.

“If necessary, we can begin our industrial enrichment without any limitations,” the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said according to RT, echoing similar comments from the speaker of the parliament, Ali Larijani earlier on Wednesday. “Until [the] implementation of this decision, we will wait for some weeks and will talk with our friends and allies and other signatories of the nuclear deal, who signed it and who will remain loyal to it. Everything depends on our national interests,” Rouhani added.

Under the 2015 deal, Tehran agreed to curb its nuclear program in return for relief from economic sanctions. Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, struck the pact to try to keep Iran from building a nuclear weapon, but Trump believes the deal has “disastrous flaws.”

The United States will reimpose a wide array of Iran-related sanctions after the expiry of 90- and 180-day wind-down periods, including sanctions aimed at Iran’s oil sector and transactions with its central bank, the U.S. Treasury said on Tuesday.

Trump signed a presidential memorandum reinstating US sanctions against Tehran that were waived in the wake of the deal which was signed during the Obama administration. Although Iran seems angered, especially after viewing the above video, the country doesn’t appear to be overly concerned about the likeliness of additional sanctions.

In a statement on its website and a related “frequently asked questions” document, the Treasury said sanctions relating to aircraft exports to Iran, the country’s metals trade and any efforts by Tehran to acquire U.S. dollars will also be reimposed.

Trump To French Prez: The US WILL Withdraw From Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal

President Donald Trump told French President Emmanuel Macron Tuesday morning that he plans to announce the withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear deal, according to a person briefed on the conversation. Trump has often regarded the deal initiated during the Obama administration as a “bad” one.

President Trump’s decision unravels the signature foreign policy achievement of his predecessor, Barack Obama. Left-leaning media outlets also claim it is isolating the United States among its allies and leaving it at even greater odds with its adversaries in dealing with the Iranians.

Iran has already issued warnings of “severe consequences” should the US decide to pull the plug on the 2015 nuclear agreement.

The New York Timesreported that Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel will work to convince Donald Trump to stay in the agreement at a meeting later this week.  And in the meantime, French president Emmanuel Macron is diligently working on swaying Trump’s mind on the issue as well.  Both European leaders want the US to stick to the 2015 nuclear deal put in place by Barack Obama. –SHTFPlan

Trump has not stayed quiet as to how he personally feels about the deal made by his predecessor.

Iran is playing with fire – they don"t appreciate how "kind" President Obama was to them. Not me!

The United States is preparing to reinstate all sanctions it had waived as part of the nuclear accord — and impose additional economic penalties as well, the person said, according to the New York Times. A second person familiar with negotiations to keep the 2015 accord in place said the talks collapsed over Trump’s insistence that sharp limits be kept on Iran’s nuclear fuel production after 2030. The deal currently lifts those limits. Trump is allegedly also planning to formally announce his decision at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at the White House.

The decision will, however, fulfill one of Trump’s oft-repeated campaign promises, and came despite intense personal lobbying by European leaders and frantic attempts to craft fixes to the deal that would satisfy him. Trump’s aides persuaded him twice to stay in the agreement, but the president has made it crystal clear that his patience with the deal had worn thin. Armed with a new, more war hungry set of advisers — led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the national security adviser, John R. Bolton — Trump faced much less internal resistance this time.

It appears that even some in the mainstream media are now siding with Trump with regards to the withdraw from the weapons accord.  Even after inception of the agreement in 2015, the regime has been confronted with credible information that it is operating more advanced centrifuges than permitted, exceeding limits on production of heavy water and, according to Fox News, covertly procuring nuclear and missile technology outside of approved channels: These are all material breaches of the deal.

 

War Alert: Israel Claims To Have PROOF Of Iranian Secret Weapons Program

Speaking at the Ministry of Defence in Tel Aviv, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Iran was continually expanding the range of its ballistic missiles.  Israel also claims that they have proof that the Iranian government has a secret weapons program.

Netanyahu showed a video that he said was taken from Iran’s top-secret nuclear facility in Tehran. The Israeli Prime Minister said the new evidence proved that the Iran nuclear deal signed in 2015 by President Obama was “built on lies,” according to The Daily Star. 

The news comes just hours after Israel closed off its airspace on its northern border as a response to a supposed threat from Iran.

Netanyahu said he was “sure Trump will do the right thing,” because of Israel’s claims that the 2015 nuclear deal made by former president Barack Obama is being ignored by Iran.   “After signing the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret files. In 2017 Iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in Tehran.”

*The following video appears to be a little quieter than average, so you may have to turn up your speakers.

Speaking in English, Israel’s leader showed pictures and videos supposedly of some historic secret Iranian nuclear facilities, as well as Iranian documents and plans to develop atomic weapons. Netanyahu claimed Israel had gotten a hold of half a ton of files on Iran’s nuclear program and also added that the Iranian government was keeping up its nuclear weapons program for future use. Netanyahu added that he had personally shared the intelligence information with the United States, which it allegedly confirmed as true.

However, it is highly important to note that most of the evidence presented by Netanyahu was from before 2015 and therefore before the signing of the nuclear deal.

According to Fox News, President Trump called the Iran nuclear deal a “horrible agreement for the United States” in response to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s bombshell allegations about Tehran’s covert activity, but he stopped short of saying whether he’d abandon the deal ahead of a looming deadline.

Trump addressed the claims made by Israel during a Rose Garden press conference Monday afternoon, moments after Netanyahu held a dramatic presentation revealing intelligence he says shows Iran is lying about its nuclear weapons program. “That is just not an acceptable situation,” Trump said. The president added that Netanyahu’s claims show Iran is “not sitting back idly.”

“They’re setting off missiles which they say are for television purposes,” Trump said. “I don’t think so.” Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to exit the Iran deal, which was signed during the Obama administration. A crucial deadline for re-certifying the deal is on the horizon.
