Smug Iranian Cleric Shrugs Off Nuclear Threat, His Reservation Confirmed…….

“Iran cleric shrugs off nuclear threats. A senior Iranian cleric has played down threats against the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, saying Iran is pioneering in nuclear disarmament. Tehran's interim Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati pointed to the recent nuclear disarmament conference in Tehran and said "It gave a crushing response to those who accuse Iran of producing and using nuclear weapons."……..

Easy for him to shrug off threats, nuclear or otherwise. He and other mullahs already believe they have booked their tickets to that other place on the other side of the mountain (not necessarily Elborz or Jabal el-Towbad). They are smug about a front row seat in that coveted place that is not too worm (nor too cccccold).
Interesting how President Obama leaving ‘a nuclear option’ open only for Iran has angered the Iranians so much. They don’t seem to realize he was merely trying to quiet down the Republican couch warriors and their service-evading media warriors breathing down his neck.
