Like most US diplomats, Secretary of State John Kerry is surely familiar with the formula of angrily condemning Iran and threatening war for perceived or future slights. One might even call it second nature.
But even with Kerry trying to talk up the merits of a nuclear deal with Iran in an al-Arabiya interview, he couldn’t get through the whole thing without threatening “the military option” against Iran.
Kerry said the US military is poised to attack Iran at any moment if they try to continue enrichment of uranium beyond permitted levels, a threat which would’ve made a lot more sense if the IAEA hadn’t already confirmed days ago that Iran has halted that enrichment and is complying with the deal.
Kerry went on to demand Iran stop all support for Hezbollah, saying they were prepared to “engage with Iran on other issues,” but that attacking Iran will always remain a possibility.
pathetic man.
Like every other head of state department this one is no different, like every other one of them this one is at war with the world already. We the people double dare you to star the war with Iran, history have shaken that if there is any government in this world that cheating is their daily routine, then it must be the USG, just look at what your sidewise double moral "honesty" have done to Syrian people.
and this guy is a diplomat?
He's an "American" diplomat, aka boisterous thug
Practically every day US/Israel threaten to wipe Iran off the map. Yet what has Iran actually done?
Nothing….with their vast resources and the potential to become a power house in the region, the US and Israel are shaking in their boots. The deal is filled with loopholes which the Iranians may over look, or they deliberately rigged it to fail.
they oppose the us/isr attempts to dominate the ME
Great news..issue him a M-16, WITH A ONE WAY TICKET TO TEHRAN..IDIOT
It's actually a crime to threaten attacking another country.
the ketsup king threatens with a squeeze bottle
Another Threat of Force, terrorism, logged on record.
Yes, Iran, stop supporting Hezbollah so Israel can finally overrun Lebanon. Right. Good one, Kerry. Very smart remark. Shrewd.
What a cave man.
Saudi Arabia is, according to the Obama White House, The world’s biggest supporter of Al Qaeda, Nusra, and the Taliban. After making that statement (leaked by Wiki leaks), Obama sold Saudi Arabia over 60 billion dollars in lethal weapons. Biggest weapons shipment in US history.
Kerry, go play with your blocks, or something.

Where are the Swift Boat commandos now that we need them?
Great News..Give the traitor a M-16 and a ONE WAY TICKET TO TEHRAN..
Mr. Kerry is trying to bluff his way by talking tough and threatening , but I am sure that this is a mere bluff he can threatens to attack but it is not that easy.Russia would never accept it. I am afraid that the US is acting like the big brother by changing regimes that oppose them.
If the US can accept the Syrian opposition to replace the Assad Regime they are in fact worse than Iran as they are accepting Alkaeda who are helping the opposition and to play it fair Iran is supporting the Hezbollah.
The Saudi are the one that are behind the causes of the problems in the middle east they always used their financial influence to remove any strong Arab leader from power using the might of the USA who needs their oil.
Just watch the Saudis they bribed their people when they were about to rise against them and talking about democracy ,it does not exist in Saudi.
Incidently both the syrian government and some element of the opposition should be charged with war crimes.
The most recent distortion of the interim agreement by US pundits/experts claims that Iran must "destroy" numerous centrifuges used for its U235 enrichment. That claim was made again at a recent White House press conference. The speaker for the White House answered (correctly) that the agreement calls for "disabling" which is not "destruction". In essence the interim agreement calls for a scaling down of the centrifuge cascades to reduce the U235 concentration of the product. The centrifuges themselves need not be destroyed. Destruction is nonsense anyway because new and potentially better centrifuges can always be made and installed. The statement of the President of Iran (made recently in Davos) that Iran will never destroy any centrifuge ever is therefore correct. Nevertheless one can be sure that the anti's will repeat their lies over and over again.
The Kerry statement about military attack is nothing new. It is meant for domestic consumption. The Iranians know that. Nevertheless it is stupid at this junction. He plays the highway robber who tells the victim: "I will shoot if you do not hand me your purse". I would love to know the private reactions of the Governments of Russia, China, Great Britain, France, and Germany. Do they agree? Have you consulted your allies Mr. Kerry? I doubt that.
Of course an attack OR THE THREAT of an attack on a nations Nuclear facilities by another nation is a War Crime, and one that BOTH the US and Israel are signatories too!
Condemn, bluster and threaten like a spoiled imbecile. Think of those he represents – this is the secretary of state?

Kerry needs to shut his warmongering pie hole. I was always under the impression that the State Department was about diplomacy. Of course that was before 9/11 and American government hadn't slipped down BizarroWorld Rabbit Hole.
Kerry is a disgrace and a world class hypocrite.
Damn straight, Mr. Nash.
You know, I've often thought they ought to rename the State Department the Warmongering Department. Damned little "diplomacy" comes out of that dump.
Everyone knows that the Obama Administration isn't going to attack Iran. Israel might, but not the US. Kerry The Clown needs to shut up. He looks so foolish already, and he is making it worse.
It used to be that the "ugly American" tourist was some fat slob in black socks and sandals, baggy plaid bermudas, a USA T-shirt and a greasy, dirt encrusted John Deere hat (his favorite-never goes anywhere without it) loudly complaining why he can't get grits for breakfast. Now the "ugly American" tourist is that same dude but loudly claiming that if they don't start serving grits and red-eye for breakfast the US was gonna bomb the bejeesus out of the entire lame country. Belligerent arrogance is the new American foreign affairs doctrine.
Johnny-boy, you and your AIPAC-shilling, dual-passport traitors can grab you some BDUs, an M4, head on over to I-ran and git 'er done!!!!! Booorah and good luck with that. Meantime, we'll be back here trying to fix this totally eff-ed up country. And no, you can't have my sons.
Excellent, Jim, EXCELLENT!
Kerry, I think, represents the sad state of the people of this country. The US unwashed masses have been brainwashed to believe the lie of American Exceptionalism. Even if their instincts might be good (a big IF), I don't think Obama/Kerry have the fortitude to stand up to the worst aspects of the War Party. They are trying to play both sides of the fence, which never works. Obama should forcefully call out the 16 disloyal democrat Senators who have signed onto the Orwellian-named Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act. You can't expect much from the GOP, as they are anti-Obama regardless of the issue. Neither party has learned the lessons of Iraq/Afghanistan.
At bottom, though, in spite of electronic brainwashing from the omnipresent television, the fault still lies with the American people. Our elected leaders are of low character because the people who elect them are, by and large, equally low. They are warlike because we are warlike, otherwise we would stop electing them. The military has become the God of the USA.
Kerry was told to threaten bombing . . . to assuage the anxieties of the zio.
Next will be the increased bribe money to the zio.
And those of us who wish for peace are deemed terrorists, what has become of this country!
where are OUR MISSING NUKES Kerry???
why are over 200 commanders including launch officers being removed??
why is the govt building deep underground bases??
He's an American 'diplomat'. He has to say stuff like this or else our media and our elected officials will tear him to pieces. When you run with wolves you have to bark like a wolf.
attacking Iran is NOT an option. And Kerry knows it. It's symbolic lip service to the israelis.
At long last, the real purpose of the "deal" is revealed. It is a setup. Iran has never violated the NPT, and it only signed the secretive deal because the US was blackmailing it with sanctions. So now the US will be able to manufacture some deal violation as the pretext for war.
