Top Iranian diplomat: Tehran willing to discuss nuclear program if Trump lifts crippling sanctions
A top Iranian diplomat said Tehran is willing to discuss its ongoing nuclear program if Washington will respond by lifting some of the sanctions that have helped cripple the country’s economy.
Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC on Sunday that “the ball is in America’s court” amid a second round of talks in Geneva aimed at reducing tensions and averting a military confrontation.
“Sanctions have to also be on the table,” Mr. Takht-Ravanchi said. “One cannot accept the notion that Iran has to do certain things without the other side committing itself.”
The White House says it wants a permanent end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions rather than merely a “pause” in its development. The Trump administration says its enrichment infrastructure must be fully dismantled, with existing stockpiles of highly enriched uranium transferred to a third country.
Mr. Takht-Ravanchi said Iran is ready to compromise but only up to a point.
“As far as we are concerned, zero enrichment is not on the table,” he told the BBC.
Mr. Trump has said he wants strong inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities, including “anytime, anywhere” access for I.A.E.A. staffers at the country’s declared and undeclared sites. [Source]
How the hell are we supposed to trust these Iranian mullahs for even a second?
Here’s their top diplomat, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, whining to the BBC that Tehran is “willing to discuss” their nuclear program—if Trump just lifts the crippling sanctions that are finally hurting their terrorist regime. “The ball is in America’s court,” he says, like they’re the victims here. Zero enrichment off the table, of course—because why would fanatics who’ve been racing toward a bomb for decades suddenly play nice?
These people have lied for decades. Hidden facilities, cheated IAEA inspectors, built covert enrichment sites while swearing their program was “peaceful.” And now they want concessions to “compromise” up to a point? Give me a break.
Worse, their whole regime is built on Shia doctrine that literally sanctions lying—taqiyya—to advance Islam, deceive infidels, and protect their apocalyptic agenda. They worship the return of the Hidden Imam, the Mahdi, and believe chaos, war, and global upheaval will hasten their insane doomsday scenario. Nuclear capability isn’t defense; it’s leverage to trigger the end times.
So tell me, world: How do you trust someone who has lied for decades and whose religion sanctions lying to advance their insane doomsday scenario?
Trump’s right—dismantle the whole damn thing, ship the uranium out, anytime-anywhere inspections, or nothing. No more breathing room for these liars. Sanctions stay until they surrender the dream of Armageddon on a missile.
Bottom Line
Wake up! This isn’t diplomacy; it’s extortion wrapped in religious fanaticism.
Screw Iran before they screw us!
