Masoud Jazayeri says the ‘low-IQ’ president’s ‘all options are on the table’ remarks are a farce; warns against US strike
President Barack Obama is a “low-IQ US president,” whose threat to launch a military offensive should nuclear talks fail is an oft-cited punchline in the Islamic Republic, particularly among children, an Iranian general said on Tuesday.
“The low-IQ US president and his country’s Secretary of State John Kerry speak of the effectiveness of ‘the US options on the table’ on Iran while this phrase is mocked at and has become a joke among the Iranian nation, especially the children,” General Masoud Jazayeri said, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
Jazayeri was responding to the US president’s interview in Bloomberg on Sunday, in which Obama maintained that the Iranian leadership should take his “all options on the table” stance — including the warning of a potential military strike — seriously.
“We have a high degree of confidence that when they look at 35,000 US military personnel in the region that are engaged in constant training exercises under the direction of a president who already has shown himself willing to take military action in the past, that they should take my statements seriously,” the president told Bloomberg.
Jazayeri called Obama’s statements regarding the deployment of US troops “completely inexpert remarks far from the reality, and these statements can be used as the joke of the year.”
The Iranian news agency Tuesday published a political cartoon mocking the US president, calling it: “All Options on Table.” This Time for Russia.” In a jab at US non-intervention in Ukraine, the cartoon portrays Obama peering forlornly into an empty paint can with the label “Red Line” while Russian President Vladimir Putin walks away saying, “I think you used it all on Syria.”
The Iranian general also issued a warning to Obama that should US forces make a move, “the region will be turned into a hell for them.”
Jazayeri is the second high-ranking official to castigate Obama since the interview was published Sunday. On Monday night, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham panned Obama’s comments for undermining the diplomatic process.
“One part of the remarks made by the US president is in contradiction to the principles of the international law and against the spirit of diplomatic negotiations meant to prevent unconstructive slogans and resorting to threats,” Afkham said.
Under an interim deal clinched in November, Iran agreed to curb parts of its nuclear program for six months in exchange for limited sanctions relief. The agreement came into effect on January 20.
Negotiators from the P5+1 group of world powers — the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany — are set to resume talks on a permanent accord with Iranian nuclear negotiators on March 17 in Vienna.
“The (nuclear) negotiations are going well … I’m hoping by the first deadline (July 20) we will reach an agreement,” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters on the sidelines of an event in New Delhi on February 28.
However, he said that there were still disagreements between the sides, referencing a “problem in terms of both substance and approach.” He added that Iran would not get rid of its enrichment program.
“I can tell you that Iran’s nuclear program will remain intact. We will not close any program,” he said, according to Reuters.
Western nations and Israel have long suspected Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapons capability alongside its civilian program, charges denied by Tehran.
Everyone knows that Obama is an idiot, why do you all think the terrorist countries wanted him to win so badly
35,000 troops... the bulk of which are Navy (5th Fleet) or USAF. The key number is how many infantry. Not enough.
...but here I am.
I guess this is what comes from having a president whose philosophy is SO opposed to virtually every single tenet of American freedom, patriotism and pride, as to be, quiet literally, foreign.
The thought of defending Barack Hussein Obama against personal attacks from Masoud Jazayeri is as abhorrent to me as defending a Marxist against personal attacks from a Fascist (or vice-versa).
It saddens me, though, because I WANT to want to defend the president of my country from personal attacks by foreigners.
The WH says to ignore anything Iran leaders say to their people because they have to says those things to save face.
Duh, knew that from the beginning.
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama
Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
Barack Hussein Obama
If you don’t believe the line about the low IQ of the Indonesian, take a look at the faces of the high IQ officials (certainly at least some of them)at the NSC meeting photo on another thread.
Funny!
Amen. And any police detective can tell you that when homosexuals go postal, they’re sociopathic. One hundred stab wounds are not uncommon.

Freaking hilarious! To the whole world, except American liberals and their media lap dogs, neither of which get it.
What a beautiful post that describes exactly my level of cognitive dissonance with an enemy ripping our President.
Yes, I found the cartoon picture and posted it in post #10.
But, but, Barry said he’d “side with the Muslims”!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Zero common sense and a defective worldview doesn't necessarily equate with low IQ
- is that a basketball in Obama’s Mom-Jeans or is he just trying to impress Putin?
I believe the usage is "Pres__ent" or "_Resident".
I just call him The Impostor.
My grandfather was an assistant county prosecutor up in Indiana, 90 years ago. He told my dad, when Dad was of age, that you could always tell when a murder was a homosexual murder, by the blood on the ceiling.
At least Carter and Harold Brown (his SecDef) recognized what congressional DemonRats had done to the country's defense capabilities, with NATO generals running out and writing The Third World War and Tom Clancy writing Red Storm Rising to give people a shout-out on what was about to happen if someone didn't take charge, fast, and turn the trends around.
Brown and Carter protected and fostered the Stealth program (F-117, B-2) and deployed lots of cruise and Pershing II missiles to counter the blackmail plot the Russians had going with their SS-20 mobile IRBM system that threatened Europe, and with which they hoped to drive a wedge between the US and the rest of NATO.
Can anyone on this board see Barky doing something like that?
You and me. Can you imagine what Harry Truman (to pick a Democrat) or Ronaldus Magnus would have done?
