The Guardian: Iran hits out at John Kerry's 'empty threats' over nuclear deal
Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said remarks by the US that military force is still on the table should be consigned to the last century
Iran hit out on Friday against the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, accusing him of threatening military action against Tehran if it fails to respect a historic nuclear deal sealed on 14 July.
“Unfortunately the US Secretary of State once again talked about the rotten rope of ‘the ability of the US for using military force’,” said the Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, in a statement.
WNU Editor: The Iranians are no longer afraid of U.S. threats.

If you accept aid from America it will come with strings. If you do not dance when the strings are pulled the US will threaten to cut off the aid. The Iranians know the Americans well and refuse to be trapped by them. Many countries have experienced what Iran has relative to the US, but are too tied into receiving the gifts to get out. The message is don't get in bed with the Americans in the first place and stay out, no matter what, if you value your independence.
The frustration this is creating in the US is palpable.
Why should the Iranians be afraid? They have the world's strongest military forces in the world of Russia and China backing them up.
"The frustration this is creating in the US is palpable." The US is not opposed to Iranian independence. It is likely concerned about a nation that poses an existential threat to it as Iran does whose calling card is "death to America." As for the majority of these gifts, the US could not pull the gifts in most of the cases as they are in the form of blackmail where the other party says hand over what I want you to give me or I will hurt you.
Iran has threatened genocide against America and our most reliable ally Israel. I would hope this would cause some "frustration" in the US.
