In His First News Conference Iran's President-elect Raisi Issues Warning Over Nuclear Talks

 

BBC: Iran nuclear deal: President-elect Raisi issues warning over talks 

Iran's president-elect has welcomed the negotiations with world powers aimed at reviving a 2015 nuclear deal but said they must guarantee national interests. 

At his first news conference since his victory in Friday's election, Ebrahim Raisi promised he would not allow the talks in Vienna to be dragged out.

He also insisted that Iran's ballistic missile programme was "not negotiable". 

The nuclear deal has been close to collapse since the US abandoned it and reinstated sanctions three years ago.

The Mullahs installed their pet fanatic. Good luck negotiating with that. And check out the dark spot on his forehead. It's a badge of honor among the "most devout". As they mash and grind their heads into their prayer rugs, it leaves a distinct mark.

Iran is not interested on an agreement, the nuclear weapon is at hand...why it will stop now?
We have to "appease" the Mullah as Chamberlain want to "appease" Hitler. This weakness will embolden the Mullah as it did the same with Hitler. Dictatorship understand strength not words. We have to be prepared for the worst.
