Iran threatens U.S. with 'this and that' if we exit nuclear deal

Dubai -- Iran's figurehead president Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday that their atomic agency was prepared to rain down "expected and unexpected" reactions if the United States pulls out of the nuclear deal as President Trump has threatened to do.

"Our atomic energy organization is fully prepared . . . for actions that they expect and actions they do not expect," Rouhani threatened. He did not go into detail, because the Ayatollah probably didn't tell him the details, but his speech was carried out on Islamic state television, referring to Trump's possible decision to leave the accord next month.

The nuclear deal between the USA and the jihad state of Iran, as well as five other world powers, curbs Iran's nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanction relief.

Trump said the agreement was one of the worst deals ever negotiated in the history of the universe, or something to that effect. In January, he sent an ultimatum to France, Germany and Britain telling them they must agree to fix what he sees as the deal's flaws or he would refuse to extend the critical U.S. sanctions relief that are currently in place. 

The deadline is May 12th.

Robert Wood, U.S. disarmament ambassador said on Thursday that Washington was involved in "intense" talks with our European allies over the deal, and said the sanctions will be resumed unless Trump decides to issue new waivers to suspend them.

Sneaky Iran claimed it will stick to the deal as long as other countries respect it, but will "shred" the deal if the U.S. pulls out.

"Iran has several options if the United States leaves the nuclear deal. Tehran's reaction to America's withdrawal of the deal will be unpleasant," Iranian state TV said, quoting Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in New York.

Rouhani said Iran intends to prevent instability in the foreign exchange market if the U.S. leaves the deal and the central bank slapped controls on markets.

"This was a preventable blow against any American decision on May 12. They fully hoped to . . . cause chaos in the (foreign exchange) market. I promise to the people that the plot of the enemy has been thwarted, and whether or not the nuclear deal remains in effect, we will have no problem," Rouhani lied.

Iran's currency, the rial, fell to an all-time low over concerns of a return of crippling sanctions and the country formally banned money changing outside of banks.

I don't believe that President Trump is shaking in his Ferragamos.
