So now the LEADER of Iran has said Israel will more or less be wiped off the map in 25 years(don't know how else to interpret 'Israel won't exist'😉 and they have said there will be no new negotiations with the USA.
Why are we bothering to still make a deal with these people? But hey lets give them billions of dollars, I'm sure they will not put a single dime of that towards their "destroy Israel" goals.
Couple things:
- "Supreme Leader" is a title. Iran has a President. He's very influential though and does dictate policies. But in the end he could say "nay, they're Satan" while the President makes the deal and it's all good to save face.
- That could refer to Israel dissolving. He's said in the past he wants the Israel government gone and an Islamic one set in place. Not "we will nuke them to death!"
edit: But yeah, his mouthing off isn't good in terms of the deal.
This is why the majority oppose the Iran deal. It's hard to do business with a country who has a substantial population of nut jobs, led by the ayatollah. The question becomes if (or I think when) the aforementioned group either stages a coup or becomes the de facto power in the region legally, what happens then?

Actually, it does seem like the Ayatollah does have final say in all executive decisions.So not sure how this deal's going through if he's so against it.
How is the Ayatollah against it? He is getting a 140 Billion SCOTT FREE! He can do anything he wants with it and nobody can say SHIT about it!

If this is true then our president is insane if he continues to want to go through with this.

If this was true you think he'd keep his mouth shut until the deal went through.
The opposition was that Iran was going to build nukes and go durrka durrka Jihad on Israel because they want to die in some fiery glory.
Now while this is odd, it does seem like the Ayatollah is saying "no more negotiations" in regards to the deal, after it's been done. Which on the surface seems like dick-waving to save face, since the Ayatollah (present and past) is all about preaching how America is "evil" and here he went and sanctioned a deal with said "evil".

Rob, would you give a known arsonist that hates his neighbor a pack of matches, and a full barrel of gasoline?

The question would be, would you give the worlds leading state sponser of terrorist $100 billion dollars.
Look at all of what Bin Laden did from some caves in Afghanistan and a compound with no communications in Pakistan.

I personally wouldn't no. But then I am not a self-serving politician.

Actually, the ruling elite does not, hence the "business" we do with them.
