Khamenei: US ‘can’t do a damn thing’ about our missile program

Supreme leader: West ‘extremely sad’ about failure to curb Iran’s military development; Guards chief: US forced to back down in region

By Times of Israel staff May 24, 2016, 1:19 am

Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei on Monday said the United States cannot “do a damn thing” about the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile program.

“They have engaged in a lot of hue and cry over Iran’s missile capabilities, but they should know that this ballyhoo does not have any influence and they cannot do a damn thing,” Khamenei said, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.

Iran in March tested ballistic missiles, including two with the words “Israel must be wiped off the earth” emblazoned on them, according to the US and other Western powers. Under a nuclear deal signed last year between world powers and Iran, ballistic missile tests are not forbidden outright but are “not consistent” with a United Nations Security Council resolution from July 2015, US officials say.

According to the UN decision, “Iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,” until October 2023.

Wow, he's just shaking in his boots that Trump wants to re-negoitate with him.

It's not "can't", it's "won't".

Trump (and the United States) don't have to "do" much at all, except...
...to give Israel the blessing to do what it must.

Well...He's right.  Since Obama has decimated the Air Force and half the planes can't fly without bubble gum and bailing wire, there isn't much that can be done.

Perhaps.  But even that isn't, and won't be, forthcoming.

I have a pretty good idea that it won't be principled and it will bear little relationship to the truthful hyperbole he's been spoon-feeding you with.

Trump has already said we'll have to live with the deal that Obama cut.

So right there the Mad Mullahs already know that the next administration whomever it is won't impede their progress.

Feeding me? You mean he's targeted me specifically?

Your bias blinds you.

My views spring from living 13 years in NYC and observing the stock from which Trump springs.  He is unprincipled and lies out of mere habit.  And he is a liberal, just as Mayor Bloomberg is, with whom he shares way too many traits. 

He also shares a lot of traits with other supposed Titans of business who turn out to be raving mad liberals politically, such as Tom Steyer, who ran a major hedge fund. 

Since you are pro-Trump, you've been drinking the swill.

As with all of Trump's pronouncements, it needs a time stamp. At any moment, he could declare that we was going to remake the Iran deal with  better winning deal.

That is more likely than not.

It's how he rolls.

Yep, I'm here banging the drums telling everyone what a great human Trump is.

And you're so blinded by rage, you don't need swill.

More evidence of his true liberalism.  Just like NYC ex-Mayor Bloomberg, another republican of convenience who governed as a true liberal.
