The nuke “deal” that the Obama administration is celebrating isn’t being heralded the same way in Tehran:
In an speech at a Tehran mosque punctuated by chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, Khamenei said he wanted politicians to examine the agreement to ensure national interests were preserved, as Iran would not allow the disruption of its revolutionary principles or defensive abilities.
An arch conservative with the last word on high matters of state, Khamenei repeatedly used the phrase “whether this text is approved or not”, implying the accord has yet to win definitive backing from Iran’s factionalised political establishment.
Ayatollah Khamenei doesn’t sound like a very good “deal partner” (paging John Kerry):
‘Down to US,’ ‘Down to Israel’ slogans changed country’s atmosphere and it was not only in Tehran or big cities.

At least he changed “death” to “down.” See, the deal’s already made progress!
Some points on nuclear talks: First I appreciate dear president, negotiators who were involved in long, breathtaking talks.

Whether this text would be approved or not, we will not allow them by Divine help to abuse it.#IranDeal

Defensive capabilities and security of country will be protected by God’s Aid and #IRAN will never surrender to enemies’ excessive demands.

The #IranDeal text approved or not, we won’t stop supporting the oppressed nation in Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain and Lebanon

Even with #IranDeal, our policies toward US Arrogant system will see no change. US policies in the region differ through 180° from Iran’s.

We have no talks with US on any intl& regional issues.We've had occasional talks with US on basic issues like NuclearTalks based on prudence

US Govs accuse #Lebanon’s #Hezbollah and resistance who are most devoted national defense forces of being terrorists. 1/2

US Govs are supporting terrorist, child-killer #Zionist regime. How can we negotiate and agree with such policies? 2/2

Five US presidents since the Revolution have either died or been lost in history wishing to make Iran surrender; you are also like them!

12 years of challenge with Iran made six powers accept spinning of thousands of centrifuges and continuation of R&D in nuclear industry.
— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) July 18, 2015
Nuclear industry R&D is an issue they spent years trying to stop it, but now they’ve written & signed it. It only means #IRAN’s authority.

US pres. said he could knock out Iran’s army. Of course we neither welcome, nor begin war, but in case of war, US will leave it disgraced.
— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) July 18, 2015
And remember, Susan Rice recently said that the lifted sanctions means we can expect a portion of those funds to go towards terrorism.
We're FUCKED. Pardon my French (I know it's not French). WHO believes we got a "DEAL"??? I feel sick… https://t.co/o1j3fRZOSk
