And the Incumbent Guy's handlers still hope for a new nuclear deal with the Mullahs.

 

His country is in turmoil, with his citizens everywhere calling for an end to his vicious, inhumane regime, but Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, still found time to offer a trenchant analysis of the American political scene, including acidic characterizations of Donald Trump and Old Joe Biden. He also led loyalist crowds in chants of “Death to America.” Meanwhile, Biden’s handlers reiterated that they were still hoping to conclude a new nuclear deal with the mullahs. Yes, they’re that crazy.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday that “Khamenei’s comments come as the Biden administration said this week it is still interested in reaching a nuclear deal with Iran, despite a reported stalemate in the negotiations and the Iranian government’s ongoing violent crackdown on nationwide anti-government protests.”

This comes even as Khamenei, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), claimed that the U.S. and the West just couldn’t stand to see the Islamic Republic prospering:

The problem that the West and the arrogant [U.S.] have with the Islamic Republic is that it is advancing and flourishing. Everyone has seen this advancement and is acknowledging it. This is intolerable and unbearable for the West. Their problem is that Iran is advancing. Had we not made any progress, had we not demonstrated a strong presence in the region, had our voices quivered while facing America and the arrogant [West], and had we been willing to accept their bullying and aggression, then all this pressure [on Iran] would have subsided. Obviously, in such a case, they would have come here and taken over, but the sanctions, the pressure, and so forth, would have subsided
