Iranian President: ‘I Announce To Our People That Our Enrichment Activities Will Continue As Before’

If a history of deceit and obfuscation wasn’t enough for Western “leaders” to learn that the Islamic Republic could never be trusted, then the words of “moderate” President Rouhani today should serve as a sobering reminder. Sadly, they will not. The only lesson the West seems to have learned is the art of selective hearing. What complicates matters even further, however, is the fact that with a nation like Iran the problem is not just with what they say, but also with what they do not say. While President Rouhani claims on one hand that Iran does not “want” nuclear weapons, he conceals the other by omitting the very fact that Iran NEEDS them in order to fulfill their own stated Islamic goals: To annihilate Israel for peaceful purposes and to prepare the way for the Islamic “Messiah” that will bring the world under Islamic rule. According to Rouhani, the accusations that Iran is attempting to build a nuclear bomb is “one of those funny jokes of history.” And he’s right. Unfortuately, the joke’s on you, America. And Israel is the punch line …

Proverbs 14:8, “The prudent understand where they are going, but fools deceive themselves.”

By Jason Rezaian, The Washington Post – “Iran’s top officials on Sunday welcomed the initial agreement struck with world powers over its nuclear activities, hailing the deal as the beginning of a new era for the Islamic republic, both in its relations with other countries and for its sanctions-ravaged economy.

‘Trust is, of course, a two-way street, and we must also find this trust in others. The first step in creating that trust has been taken,’ Iran’s new president, the moderate cleric Hassan Rouhani, said in a statement broadcast live on television Sunday morning.

Addressing concerns over the language in the agreement between the six world powers and Iran regarding Tehran’s ability to continue work on its nuclear program, Rouhani said, ‘Let anyone make his own reading, but this right is clearly stated in the text of the agreement that Iran can continue its enrichment, and I announce to our people that our enrichment activities will continue as before.’

Rouhani, who was joined on the broadcast by the families of several Iranian nuclear scientists who were assassinated in recent years, also reiterated what Iran claims is the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.

‘Let me say once more, the Iranian nation does not want nuclear weapons,’ Rouhani said, referring to the accusations that Iran is attempting to build a bomb as ‘one of those funny jokes of history.’

A key point for Tehran throughout the negotiations with the group of world powers has been a clear path to reductions in the sanctions that have wrought havoc on Iran’s economy in recent years.

One of the achievements of Sunday’s agreement, according to Rouhani, is that ‘the sanctions will be broken. The cracks in the sanctions began last night, and in the future those gaps will be grow.’

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has long doubted the sincerity of Western leaders, expressed guarded approval of the agreement.

Responding to a letter from Rouhani, Khamenei thanked the efforts of Iran’s negotiating team, led by foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, but asked the members to continue their vigilance in dealing with old enemies.

‘God willing, standing against the arrogant powers is and will be the main criteria on the path forward for those in charge of this issue,’ Khamenei wrote.” Read more.

It all started on 20 June.  Saba ‘s family is poor and had to remove her from school because of economic difficulties. Usually she would accompany her mother to work, but that day she was not well and preferred to stay at home. In the few hours in which she was alone, Hussain broke into the house and abducted her. Naseem Bibi returned home in the afternoon and not being able to find her daughter was on her way to report her missing, when the Muslim kidnapper’s a mother, sister and a brother showed up and told her that Munawar Hussain had taken Saba .

Naseem wanted to go to the police, but  the others asked her to wait four days, during which they would try to find a way to bring back her daughter. A couple of days later , she received a phone call from Saba, who said: ‘Munawar Hussain has kidnapped me and tried to force me convert to Islam’. Soon after, the call was cut off.

Once the four days were up, the man’s mother and sister returned to Naseem Bibi and said that Saba was married to Munawar and that she had converted to Islam. ‘Do not go to the police or court – they threatened her  – or you will be responsible for serious consequences. She is a Muslim now: stop thinking about her, forget her’…” Read more.
