An Iranian general, Mohammad Reza Naghdi, recently claimed that the “Americans are begging us for a deal on the negotiation table.”
In fact, he stated that American officials often “plea” with Iran in negotiation and that the U.S. is operating from a position of weakness.
According to the Associated Press, Iran will be allowed to keep much of its uranium-enriching technology, which can be used for “anything from chemotherapy to the core of an atom bomb.”

Saeed Ghasseminejad, an Iranian dissident and associate fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, had this to say:
America’s “hostility toward its traditional allies in the region, Israel and Saudi Arabia, is at its historical peak and the Obama administration either supports Iran to expand its influence in the region or at least does not oppose it at all,” Ghasseminejad explained. “Iran feels as long as the negotiation is going on, it has a green light to do whatever it wants in the region, so why should they bother to sign a deal?”
Hossein Salami, another high level Iranian military official, said: “Iran prepares itself for war with global powers, and the Israeli’s are much smaller than them.”

In a recent television interview, speaking of the aid Iran plans to provide to Palestianian terror groups, he stated: “Opening up a new front across the West Bank, which is a major section of our dear Palestine, will be certainly on the agenda, and this is part of a new reality that will gradually emerge.”
