"We have never sought nuclear weapons ... With or without the nuclear deal we will never seek nuclear weapon ... The European powers will be responsible for the consequences of violating the pact," said Rouhani, according to his website President.Ir.
So Iran is back to vocal pretending about their nuclear weapons program?
Well before the Iran nuclear deal was (kinda, sorta, not really "signed"), I knew exactly what the deal would be:
I don't bother speculating on the potential details. The big picture has always been clear to me.
The Iranians will pretend not to have a nuclear weapons program; and we will pretend to believe them.
Iran is trying the first part of that deal again. While Europeans may still believe Iran's mullah nutballs, I like to think that the current American administration is in no mood to pretend to believe Iran.
The Russians and Chinese count on Iran lying, of course. Like either one of them would be on Iran's target list!
