No Time Left For Negotiations With Iran: Israeli Minister

[Uncle Joe]

12. And the Fatwa (religious decree) against nuclear weapons means nothing as well?

If Netanyahu's office is so eager to believe previous Iranian leaders' words that they will bomb Israel, why don't they believe them now when they say they're against nuclear weapons?

Iran: Religious decree against nuclear weapons is binding

TEHRAN, Iran Iran sought Tuesday to spell out in its clearest terms yet that it is not seeking nuclear weapons, highlighting a religious decree issued by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that bans nuclear weapons.


The latest reference to Khamenei's declaration is seen as a bid to close the door on debates that Iran may have carried out atomic bomb trigger tests as inspectors from the U.N. atomic watchdog were on their way to Tehran for a new round of discussions.


Iran authorities have often cited Khamenei's religious edict, made more than seven years ago, in attempts to counter Western suspicion that Iran could be moving toward nuclear arms. But Iranian leaders now appear increasingly desperate to reopen talks with world powers as a possible way to ease sanctions.

If the U.S. still went by previous Soviet Union statements instead of placing some level of trust in newer ones, we would never have ended the Cold War.

Thanks for the thread, Purveyor.
