Leader blasts US nuke threat on Iran

The Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Opressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said Washington’s nuclear threat will leave a ‘dark spot’ in US history.

“International bodies cannot turn a blind eye to this threat,” Imam Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday.

“No one should dare to threaten humanity in this way. We will not allow the US to revive its evil dominance over Iran with such threats,” the Leader added.

Ayatollah Khamenei said US threats would have no effect on the Iranian nation, but will leave a ‘dark spot’ on the political record of the United States.

Earlier this month, US President Barack Obama released a new US Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) that among other things restricted the use of nuclear arms against most non-atomic states.

The restriction, however, did not apply to countries that are, from Washington’s viewpoint, in non-compliance with non-proliferation treaties.

Just before the NPR was issued, Obama told The New York Times that the loophole would apply to what he called “outliers like Iran and North Korea.”
