Brilliant move trump: Iran vows to restart nuclear program on an "industrial scale".

[spanone]

Tehran (CNN)Iran says it is ready to restart its nuclear program on an "industrial scale" in the wake of the decision by US President Donald Trump to abandon the deal that curbs the country's nuclear ambitions.

In a statement published Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said he would embark on a round of international diplomacy to try and save the deal. At the same time, the country would make preparations to restart its program of nuclear enrichment, he said.

Zarif's comments came as thousands of Iranians took to the streets in the largest demonstration since US President Donald Trump announced his decision to abandon the deal on Tuesday.

Protesters burned an American flag and railed against the US and Israel after emerging from Friday prayers in Tehran.

1. Trump Ought to Negotiate a Deal to Allow Inspectors to Investigate and Monitor Iran's Program

oh wait

[flotsam]

2. Javad Zarif

Helped draft the original agreement and signed it as Iranian foreign minister along with John Kerry as Secretary of state. As such I'm sure he felt pressure to make this statement after America's actions under Trump.

3. Don't worry he's a great negotiator. Just remember how much better the Paris deal is now...

oh, wait he's done nothing since pulling out. He also has done jack to NAFTA. He's going to meet with North Korea to agree to everything they want. He's the worlds worst negotiator.

4. Where is Jared (R)?

5. Ugh.

I mean, why wouldn't they go ahead and adopt Lil' Kim's blueprint for building up nuclear leverage and then negotiating from a position of greater strength?

Oh yeah, and the next round of negotiations--if they ever happen--could very well be with Iranian hardliners energized by Drumpf who will be less inclined to play ball, making it harder for a sane U.S. administration in the future to reach an even less favorable agreement.
