Iran Walks Back From The Foreign Minister's Remarks That Its Missile Program Is On the Table For Negotiations

Foreign ministry officials have strongly rejected some foreign media’s claims about Iran readiness to negotiate over its missile program.

MEHR News Agency: Iran’s missile program not negotiable under any condition

"We categorically reject the AP’s characterization of FM Zarif’s comments to NBC News that "if the US wants to talk about missiles, it should stop selling weapons, including missiles, to regional states” as meaning that Iran is willing to negotiate on its defensive missile program at some point.

Note to Iran: You missile program and your nukes are gone if you want any reprieve from the crushing US sanctions. And they're gone BEFORE the sanctions end.

More and more signals come out of Iran.

The signals are contradictory as if they know they got to do something but can't countenance it. They are in severe financial distress and soon people will grab pitchforks and go after the theocracy.

And poor baby will trudge dejectedly to McDonalds to console itself with a two large orders of McNuggets.
