Iran: U.S. 'No.1 Enemy' Despite Nuclear Deal



New York Times: U.S. Remains the Great Satan, Hard-Liners in Iran Say

TEHRAN — Flexing their muscles, some of the toughest anti-American voices in Iran said on Tuesday that the United States remains their country’s top enemy, guilty of “uncountable” crimes. Their remarks hinted at a developing struggle over domestic influence because of the nuclear deal with world powers.

The head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, announced plans to expand the reach of Iran’s missiles and warned that despite the nuclear deal, America is still the “same Great Satan.”

General Jafari criticized advocates of improved ties, led by the government of President Hassan Rouhani, who has repeatedly said that his administration wants a better relationship with the United States.

There are probably many countries that feel the same way but have sold their souls to US "Aid" so remain quiet.
