Deal Rejecting Mullahs (Reloaded)

In a move that should shock no one, but that will shock many Europeans and American lunatic leftists, the Iranians have told the European Union to shove it.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran rejected Europe's proposal for ending the standoff over Tehran's nuclear program, saying Saturday it was "unacceptable" because it did not give the country the right to enrich uranium.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said the package of incentives offered fell short of Iran's "minimum expectations" and the government would send its official rejection to the Europeans later Saturday or Sunday.

"The European proposals are unacceptable ... the package is against the spirit of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and against the provisions of the Paris agreement," he said on state radio. "The proposals do not meet Iran's minimum expectations."

You have to keep in mind, folks, that Iran's "minimum expectations" included free equipment for enriching uranium and turning it into atomic weapons. Nobody should be surprised at this. The Iranian people are good to go, but the Iranian government has been up to no good since the Iranian Revolution back in the 1970's. Nothing short of severe measures is going to get them to play ball, and all of these talks and offers of incentives are nothing more than a massive game of diplomatic grabass.
