Iran says U.S. still warmongering

advertisement

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's top military commander said the new U.S. administration was just as "warmongering" as its predecessor, but that the United States could not afford to attack Iran, an Iranian news agency reported on Tuesday.

Major-General Hassan Firouzabadi's comments came despite an offer by President Barack Obama to engage in direct talks with Tehran if it "unclenches its fist," and may disappoint Washington.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I doubt if the current administration has even discussed attacking Iran.
