Iran Pres. wants US to 'bow down' to them

Iran President Hassan Rouhani alluded to the notion that if he were to meet with President Trump in the United States, he would have to bow down to Iran and repent from "economic terrorism" against Iran. Perhaps he has Trump confused with Obama with the bowing.

"Those who have imposed sanctions on our people, and have carried out economic terrorism – any change in our conduct toward them must start with their repentance," Rouhani said in a video translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

"They must return to their obligations, and change the erroneous path they have chosen. They must act in the service of the world's interests and security, while maintaining respect for the other. They must recognize our revolution, our regime, and the rights of our people, and they must reject their mistakes. With regard to the relations between Iran and America – unless America gives up the sanctions and rejects the erroneous path it has chosen, we will see no positive change."

And we must not continue to label them the 'World's largest sponsor of terrorism.' because it offends their anti-Semitic sensibilities.

"If you lift all the sanctions and bow down before the Iranian people, the circumstances will be different," Rouhani bloviated, as if he could care less one way or the other. "We want to resolve the issues and problems in a reasonable manner, but we are not interested in photo-ops. If someone wants to have his photo taken with Hassan Rouhani – well, that's impossible," he said of himself in third person. "It can be done with Photoshop, but a real photo is impossible, [because vampires cannot be photographed] unless one day they lift all their unjust sanctions, and respect the rights of the Iranian people. Then we would be talking about new circumstances, and we could reconsider it."

Rouhani reminds one of the Black Knight in Monty Python--he's all talk, no legs to stand on.

The U.S. continued to crack down on Iranian networks on Thursday, designating a Lebanon bank that has ties to Hezbollah [trans.: Party of Allah] a "global terrorist."

"Treasury is targeting Jammal Trust Bank and its subsidiaries for brazenly enabling Hezbollah's financial activities," Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Sigal Mandelker said in a statement. "Corrupt financial institutions like Jammal Trust are a direct threat to the integrity of the Lebanese financial system. Jammal Trust provides support and services to Hezbollah's Executive Council and the Martyrs Foundation, which funnels money to the families of suicide bombers."

The Martyr's Foundation provides bonus money to the families of suicide bombers and other terrorists who kill men, women and children who hold different religious beliefs than they hold.
