Iran: No Deal Unless Sanctions Lifted
The ink is far from dry. Tehran lashed out today over details on a nuclear deal, with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei saying there’s “no guarantee” of him signing on the dotted red line just hours after President Hassan Rouhani said there’d be no deal without a simultaneous lifting of sanctions. “I have never been optimistic about negotiating with America,” Khamenei added, widening cracks in the framework agreement reached last week. Destabilizing things on the other side is the Senate, which is preparing a bill to rebuke Obama for his part in the deal.
