The Hill<\/a> posted an article on Friday about some recent comments by President Obama<\/a> regarding the nuclear deal with Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In comments following the Nuclear Security Summit<\/a> in Washington, Obama denied speculation that the United States<\/a> would ease rules preventing dollars from being used in financial transactions with Iran, in order to boost the country\u2019s engagement with the rest of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Instead, Obama claimed, that Iran\u2019s troubles even after the lifting of sanctions under the nuclear deal were due to its continued support of Hezbollah, ballistic missile tests and other aggressive behavior.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIran so far<\/a> has followed the letter of the agreement, but the spirit of the agreement involves Iran also sending signals to the world community and businesses that it is not going to be engaging in a range of provocative actions that are going to scare businesses off,\u201d Obama said at a press conference.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they launch ballistic missiles<\/a> with slogans calling for the destruction of Israel, that makes businesses nervous.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ballistic missiles with slogans calling for the destruction of Israel are not an indication of a new attitude. The Quds Force<\/a> is named the Quds Force because Quds is the Iranian name for Jerusalem. The Quds Force is the group that will be given the ‘honor’ of taking Jerusalem when ‘the time comes.’ This represents the attitude of Iran since the Iranian revolution in 1979<\/a>. I don’t know what President Obama thought was going to change when he agreed to the nuclear treaty.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Despite the lifting of sanctions, American companies are still banned from doing business in Iran and foreign banks are prohibited from using the U.S. dollar for their Iranian dealings. Earlier this week,\u00a0multiple<\/a>\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0indicated that the White House<\/a> was considering easing financial rules to let foreign companies use the dollar to do business with Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But on Friday, Obama appeared to shoot the idea down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not actually the approach that we\u2019re taking,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not necessary that we take the approach of them going through dollar transactions,\u201d he added. \u201cIt is possible for them to work through European financial institutions as well.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, Obama said, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew<\/a><\/span> and other U.S. officials would help \u201cprovide clarity\u201d to global businesses about what kinds of work they can do in Iran under current rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That sounds an awful lot like ‘the rules will be what I say they are.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
