"You f---ing Americans. Who are you to tell us, the rest of the world, that we're not going to deal with Iranians."

The people who first saved you from the NAZIs, then from the Soviets, and still pay the bulk of your defense tab to this day.

” “You f-—ing Americans. Who are you to tell us, the rest of the world, that we’re not going to deal with Iranians.”

Close the bank before Obama gives it a $500,000,000.00 gift
or a grant.

There’s a StanChart office right on Ave of the Americas in NYC. Why not have Federal Marshals padlock the place, have the Justice Department free all their U.S. assets and take in for questioning any C-level execs who happen to be in the U.S.?

Oh yeah, on topic, I probably should mention that I think this guy is a prat. Iran is undoubtedly a terrorist supporting nation that not only kidnapped our sailors, but also supported the Taliban and Iraqi insurgents who killed British soldiers. Doing business with these a-holes should be banned in Britain as well as the US...
