Iran: "We Did Not Agree To Dismantle Anything!"

Did we really think the Iranian government would agree to dismantle its nuclear programme? Apparently the Obama administration did, but according to Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif they  agreed to no such thing.

In a CNN interview in Davos, Zarif claims the U.S. "tried to create a false impression" regarding the P5+1 Interim Agreement saying:

"...the White House version both underplays the concessions and overplays Iranian commitments.”

“The White House tries to portray it as basically a dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program. That is the word they use time and again." “If you find a single, a single word, that even closely resembles dismantling or could be defined as dismantling in the entire text, then I would take back my comment.”

Problem is, no-one will have the opportunity to prove him wrong since the document will never be released  since it allegedly has classified information.

We either have liars or some incredibly naive and stupid people leading this country. I think we have both.

Zimbabwe To Sell Uranian To Iran - Update

UPDATE 8/12/13:  Zimbabwe officials deny any such deal with Iran. If you can believe them.

Word has it that Zimbabwe is planning on shipping uranium to Iran.  

Gift Chimanikire, the Zimbabwean Deputy Mining Minister, told the Times newspaper that a memorandum of understanding had been signed to export uranium to Tehran, a move likely to prompt alarm in western capitals, particularly in Washington.

A report compiled by the United Nations' nuclear watchdog more than two years ago warned of such an outcome, detailing a visit from Iran's then Foreign and Co-operative Ministers to Zimbabwe to strike a deal, with the Iranians also sending engineers to assess uranium deposits.

The rest here.

So much for sanctions.

Ahmadinejad Tells Ex-PM Of Japan: No "Atomic Bombs" For Iran,

Against the advice of both Prime Minister Yoshihiko Nodahe and Foreign Minister Koichiro Genba, Yukio Hatoyama, the Japanese ex-premier, paid a little visit to Iran's Ahmadinejad where Mahmoud told him that

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is fundamentally opposed to the atomic bomb and weapons of mass destruction.”

“Iran and Japan can exert a common effort to create a world without atomic weapons ... Difficult but humanitarian efforts will win in the end.”

This, from a man who claims there are no homosexuals or oppression of women in Iran, and that the Holocaust is a myth.

But the world is going to try to reason with the madman again.  The dates and location for the upcoming U.N. Security Council 5+1 talks, where Iran and the 5 permanent Security Council members ( China, France, UK , US, Russia) plus Germany will discuss Iran's nuclear agenda, have yet to be finalized, but expected to take place some time mid-April.

Meanwhile, Hatoyama told Mahmoud:

“International trust-building and respecting regulations are important part of the world community which should be seriously pursued.”

Trust-building with liars is not possible, and it's foolish to think it is. And respect?  It doesn't exist with the current leadership.

Ahmadinejad, as he has many times before, said the country was “ready for negotiations”, and that he had  “practical suggestions for the upcoming meeting.”  Can't wait to hear what those are.

Bottom line, you can't believe anything that comes out of Mahmoud's duplicitous mouth.
