We don’t know what’s in the deal, (sound familiar? “We need to pass it to find out whats in it”), or what’s true but Irans FM is tickled about the termination of sanctions, you know, the sanctions that broke them in the first place, and is now accusing the Obama regime of lying about portions of the non-deal almost a deal kind of a deal…um…deal.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif accused the Obama administration of misleading the American people and Congress in a fact sheet it released following the culmination of negotiations with the Islamic Republic.
Zarif bragged in an earlier press conference with reporters that the United States had tentatively agreed to let it continue the enrichment of uranium, the key component in a nuclear bomb, as well as key nuclear research.
Zarif additionally said Iran would have all nuclear-related sanctions lifted once a final deal is signed and that the country would not be forced to shut down any of its currently operating nuclear installations.
Zarif went on to push back against claims by Kerry that the sanctions relief would be implemented in a phased fashion—and only after Iran verifies that it is not conducting any work on the nuclear weapons front.
