Iran’s supreme leader says world powers must lift international sanctions and not merely suspend them as part of a landmark nuclear agreement.
Speaking to a group of clerics, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said “there will be no deal” if the sanctions are not lifted. His remarks were read by a state TV anchorman.
Khamenei says some U.S. officials have spoken of the “suspension” of the sanctions, which he says is unacceptable. He says Iran will only partially comply with its commitments if the sanctions are merely suspended.
U.S. President Barack Obama recently secured enough support to prevent the Republican-led Congress from blocking the deal. The agreement would curb Iran’s nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief.

New Passover Dayeinu (It Would Have Been Enough) Song.
If the POTUS would have just said the Letter signed by Pres Bush given to PM Sharon which prompted PM Sharon to kick all Jews out of Gaza, that stated existing settlements and 300,000 Jewish residents in West Bank and East Jerusalem, should be considered in the Peace Process, that this is not now binding –That would have been enough Dayeinu
If the POTUS would have just said the end result of the Peace talks SHOULD be 1967 borders and any adjustments ONLY if the Kind Palestinians (who want 1967 land AND Millions of Palestinians into remaining Israel) would consent leaving the Kotel, Jewish quarter of Old Jerusalem, Racehls Tomb and more in Palestine–That would have been enough Dayeinu
If the POTUS would have said Israel can NOT be Trusted to the press and that Israel was not interested in peace–That would have been enough Dayeinu. And NOW the POTUS signs a Great Deal that awards $110 Bilion in unfrozen asets and booming Western business to Iran which supplies Hamas, ISlamic Jihad and Hezbolla and that allows in 10 years a Nuclear super power Jihadist terrorist supporting Iran who annually have Death to America and Death to Israel official rallies
