The Thousand-Mile Journey Continues

First we said the interim nuclear deal would dismantle Iran's nuclear progress. Then we said it suspended their nuclear programs. Now Iran says their nuclear program hasn't been slowed one bit.

I've long felt that the nuclear deal with Iran would consist of Iran pretending to halt their nuclear weapons program and America pretending to believe the Iranians.

My only hope has been that Iranian contempt for us would be so great that they'd refuse to even pretend.

So, you know, huh:

The head of an Iranian nuclear organization, Ali Akbar, says the "entire nuclear activity of Iran is going on," despite the nuclear deal reached with the United States and other Western nations. Akbar made the comments in an interview with PressTV, an Iranian propaganda outfit.

Akbar also says they won't dismantle Arak reactor, that the American have achieved nothing, and that they're continuing to build new nuclear sites.

I'm worried we're fully capable of pretending not to hear them, insisting that is just for domestic consumption inside Iran.
