Their delicate, and perhaps unrealistic, task is to build a case for Tehran to respect the deal’s limits on its nuclear program even though Washington has pulled out, depriving Iran of many of the economic benefits it was promised. […]

The European Union has implemented a law to shield European companies from U.S. sanctions. Still, there are limits to what it can do to counter the oil sanctions, under which Washington can cut off from the U.S. financial system any bank that facilitates an oil transaction with Iran. …

“Ministers from Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and Iran will gather in New York”

Why do these worthless f*ckers come here for their meeting? Probably at the UN.

Ezekiel 38 will happen. It was prophesied over 2,500 years ago. All prophecy given by God will be fulfilled to the smallest detail.

The secular world really, really, really think they’re smarter than God. Only a fool would think that Iran’s mullahs can be trusted.

Then there are people who voted for Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama.

But I repeat myself.....

That’s where they’re going, all right.

The rug needs to be pulled out from under the communistic UN once and for all. It was set up to undermine the USA from the very start; Alger Hiss’ brainchild.

Lenin said, “Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we hang them.” Incidentally, what I read out of that is communism can’t make rope. Yep, moneymoneymoney.

No, the EU is implementing measures to retaliate against European companies which participate in the sanctions.
