Iran now blaming the US for its own pursuit of nuclear weapons

Of course:

FREE BEACON – Iranian leaders spent a large portion of the weekend threatening the United States and vowing to “continue the path” to a nuclear weapon as a result of Trump’s decertification and nascent moves by Congress to level a series of harsh new penalties on Iran.

The United States and Iran continue to head closer towards a diplomatic clash over Trump’s desire to see Congress level a series of new restrictions on Tehran that would greatly curb the nuclear and military actions it can legally pursue under the original Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chair of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy commission, lashed out at Trump early Monday, saying that Iran and other countries will have no choice but to “follow North Korea” as a result of the decertification effort.

“The U.S. president showed by his remarks again that the U.S. government is not trustworthy and the U.S. behavior towards the nuclear deal persuades views of countries like North Korea,” Boroujerdi was quoted as telling his Turkish counterpart during a meeting in Tehran on Monday, according to the country’s state-controlled press organs.

In a separate Monday meeting with a French official, Boroujerdi vowed that Iran would restart its pursuit of nuclear weapons technology if Congress follows through with new sanctions and other penalties.

“If the U.S. Congress decides to violate and abrogates the nuclear deal and its undertakings, the Islamic Republic of Iran will have no motivation to continue the path,” Boroujerdi was quoted as saying.

This is why we should never have made a deal with these evil terrorists in the first place. They are cunning and will now blame Trump and the US for their pursuit of nuclear weapons, as if they never stopped doing it in the first place!

And I’m sure their use of N. Korea in this statement is no accident. I think there’s little doubt that they are working together, sharing technology so that they both can end up in the same place, with ballistic nukes.

Thanks Obama!
