TeaBag senators embarrass the country: Iran sez they don't even understand their own Constitution

[font size=5]Iran Responds To GOP Letter: They Don’t Even Understand Their Own Constitution[/font]

Iran’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Javad Zarif has issued a response on behalf of Iran regarding the open letter sent to the Islamic Republic of Iran and drafted by Republican Senator Tom Cotton and signed by 46 other Republican Senators. The response is nothing less than damning and highlights the (new) international embarrassment the Republican Party has brought upon the United States. In the statement Dr. Zarif, stated: ....

“…it seems that [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]the authors not only do not understand international law, but[/FONT] are not fully cognizant of the nuances of [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]their own Constitution[/FONT] when it comes to presidential powers in the conduct of foreign policy.” ....

The statement then goes on to inform the Republicans that current negotiations will not result in a bilateral agreement between the United States and Iran. It will, in fact, have the full participation of five other countries, including all permanent members of the Security Council and it will have to be endorsed by the Security Council resolution.

Now, not only are the Republican Senators facing serious allegations of committing treason, they are also now being schooled on international and United States constitutional law by Iran.

the education some of the leaders in Iran is/was absorbed with more efficacy than that of the idiots who composed and sent that condescending letter.

I say, BRAVO!!!
