These are the same tough sanctions Obama took credit for at the last debate...
TEHRAN (FNA)
– Senior Iranian parliamentary sources revealed on Saturday that the
Swiss envoy to Tehran has quoted US President Barack Obama as
acknowledging Iran’s nuclear rights.
Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Livia Leu Agosti attended a meeting with
senior Iranian foreign ministry officials a few days ago to submit a
letter from the US president to Tehran leaders.
Vice-Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and
Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Ebrahimi told FNA that during the
meeting, Agosti had told the Iranian officials that President Barack
Obama recognizes Iran’s right of access and use of the nuclear
technology.
“There are a couple of points with regard to this (US) message (to
Iran),” Ebrahimi said and added, “Firstly, during the session to submit
the message, the Swiss ambassador to Tehran quoted the US president as
saying that ‘we (the US) recognize your nuclear rights’.”
As regards the second issue, the lawmaker said that the Swiss
diplomat had also quoted Obama as saying that “I didn’t want to impose
sanctions on your central bank but I had no options but to approve it
since a Congress majority had approved the decision.”
