… “The word and even the signature of the Americans cannot be relied upon, so negotiations with America are of no avail,” Khamenei said in a meeting with Foreign Ministry officials, adding that negotiations with Washington would be an “obvious mistake”, according to his official website. …

Why is this Ayatollah Ali Khamenei still wasting oxygen?
Trump signaled to the students who rebelling that we would support them- this should have been given 24/7 coverage and it would have lit that fuse.
Not what Trump said or didn’t say during the summit.
He didn’t negotiate with the Americans. He negotiated with Obama and the Europeans.
Their mistake was negotiating with Obama, risking he’d be replaced by a grownup.
Finally something the ayatollah and I can agree on!
Did the Senate okay the deal? No? Then we never gave our word.
If you’re really upset about it why not return the cash in protest?
Why was it a mistake? In exchange for nothing, Iran got billions in cash from 0bama and also sanctions relief.
You made a personal “executive” deal with B. Hussein Obama, not the US government. That would have required a treaty ratified by the US Senate and that’s not going to happen because your deal was obviously not in our best interests and that’s why Obama didn’t even try to do it constitutionally. Obama’s term as “executive” is up and his personal deal with you is now null and void. Too bad, too sad.
No, Iran negotiated with Barack Obama, who chose not to negotiate a treaty, which would have been submitted to the U.S Senate and binding upon the United States when ratified. Instead, they got a “deal,” bound only by the personal honor of Barack Obama (stop laughing).
Multiple Senators pointed this out, multiple times. Noting again and again that their agreement was not legally binding. The. Iranians went ahead and trusted Mr Obama’s word.
Stupid fools.
Just like when Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons
with just a wink and a nod from Bill Clinton, idiots.
Then give back those pallets of cash and those Euros you got from teamiranobama.
Revising and extending my remarks to Khamenei.
But why should you complain? Obama gave you a free gift of 150 billion dollars (less the kickback you gave him for making the deal) and you can continue your plans as you intended to do anyway. Until someone brings you up short, that is.

Between Reagan and Trump I would agree this was a reasonable position.
Times have changed.
The Iranian mullahcracy made two mistakes -- seizing our embassy, and thinking we've forgotten about that. Thanks Olog-hai.
Odumbo owes them the money then. Take his 8 million dollar as a down payment.
Negotiate what, exactly?
The obvious mistake is to be a Fundamentalist MUSLIM leader who promotes world wide terrorism and represses his nations population.
There wasn’t any negotiations with Lollypop kerry and bammy.....it was more of telling them what you wanted....and you got it....
Fascinating that he specifically mentions America’s signature. Why the odd focus on “our” signature? Perhaps he’s focused on that issue because actually signing the document was a carefully considered and discussed issue on their side, which is why THEY NEVER SIGNED THD AGREEMENT!!
