More comforting words came forth last week from the United State's nuclear partner, Iran. That is to say, the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said America is the "great Satan" and a major idolator.
The Arabic word is "taghut" -- a theological term usually reserved for other Muslims who are in transgression against Islamic tenets and values. Khamenei said:
“America is the major taghut and the great Satan. Those who are implementing the American policy in the region are adhering to taghut.”
Khamenei continued speaking out against the U.S., assuring that the only goal Iran has in its dealings with our country is non-compliance:
"Resistance against America is the main point of Iran’s prowess."
Iran's leader also aimed his ire towards "blasphemous" Saudi Arabia for helping the U.S. implement its nuclear policies. Khamenei made it clear that Iran is not frightened by America and doesn't believe the Obama administration intends to stand by its promises under the nuclear deal.
Of course, President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have done little to speak out against Iran's constant barrage of anti-America and anti-Israel threats.
Meanwhile, Obama is sending secret letters to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in an attempt to set up a private meeting because, you know, diplomacy.
