The democrats are siding with Iran.
Via Daily Mail:
Iranian politicians have set fire to the US flag in parliament and accused Donald Trump of lacking the ‘mental capacity to deal with issues’ after the US President’s nuclear deal pullout.
Lawmakers chanted ‘death to America’ as they torched the Stars and Stripes and a symbolic copy of the Iran deal as a session of parliament began before vowing to continue spending on the country’s ballistic missile program.
It comes after the country’s President Hassan Rouhani warned that Iran could restart enriching uranium ‘without any limitations’ within weeks, after Trump pulled America out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran.
Europeans still back the deal and the leaders of France, Germany and Britain said Trump’s decision to leave the accord is a threat to global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
Russia said it was ‘deeply disappointed’ while French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian insisted the deal was ‘not dead’. French finance minister Bruno Le Maire said the US should not consider itself as the world’s ‘economic policeman’.
The move has, however, been welcomed by Iran’s major rivals, Saudi Arabia and Israel.
The furious demonstration in the Iranian parliament this morning reflected broad public anger in the country after Trump called the deal a ‘horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made’.
‘Trump does not have the mental capacity to deal with issues,’ parliament speaker Ali Larijani said.
While Iranian officials say they hope Europe will work with them to preserve the deal, many are pessimistic.
The lawmakers, including a Shiite cleric, held the flaming flag alight as their colleagues joined their chants.
They also burned a piece of paper representing the nuclear deal and stomped on the papers’ ashes.
