SHAFTED BY IRAN AGAIN – AT 9:32 A.M. ET:   The Obamans thought the Iran nuclear deal would improve relations with Tehran.  They should think again, or maybe think for the first time.  From Iranian presstv.ir: 

Commander of Iran’s Army Major General Ataollah Salehi says the country will enhance its missile capabilities despite US-led efforts to curb them.

The US government imposed fresh sanctions on Iran over its missile activities, a day after Tehran and the West agreed to implement a nuclear accord, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Washington argued that Iran's missile activities violated a UN Security Council which bars the Islamic Republic from developing missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads.

Tehran says no Iranian missile has such an intention and new sanctions are thus illegal, which also breach the JCPOA.

On Thursday, Gen. Salehi said, "We are neither paying any attention to the resolutions against Iran, nor implementing them."

"We are doing our job and our missile program for the future will be stronger and more precise," he told reporters in Tehran. "This is not a breach of the JCPOA,” he added.

The Army chief said Iran’s weapons present no threat to friendly and neighboring countries.

"They are rather a threat to the enemies of this establishment."

COMMENT:  Iran is getting stronger and stronger, while we cut our defenses.  Eventually, Iran will have those nuclear-capable missiles, if they don't already have them.  They are ICBM's, and the only purpose of ICBM's is to carry nuclear warheads.  You don't send a missile 6,000 miles to explode a hundred pounds of dynamite.
