Bloomberg: Obama Says Ayatollah’s Anti-U.S. Comments Won’t Derail Iran Deal
President Barack Obama shrugged off anti-American barbs and tweets from Iran’s Supreme Leader, calling Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “a politician” whose rhetoric won’t threaten a deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program.
“Superpowers don’t respond to taunts,” Obama said in an interview on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” set to air on Sunday. Obama added that he’s “not interested in a Twitter back-and-forth with the Supreme Leader.”
In defending his push for an Iran deal, Obama reiterated the arguments he’s made for weeks: that the agreement will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and that rejecting it would present the U.S. with only worse options, including another war.
“Nobody has presented a plausible alternative, other than military strikes, to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon,” Obama said.
WNU Editor: When former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev made the vow that "we will bury" you at the U.N. .... the West reacted appropriately. Flash forward 55 years to today .... "death to America" means the lifting of sanctions, tens of billions of dollars released, and the removal of all restriction on Iranian officials wanted for war/terrorism crimes. Sighhh .... I am clearly living in a different time.
