A resolution issued toward the gathering’s end called on Iranian officials to beware of the USA influence upon its return to the country.

The Obama loving media is forever talking about the “hard-liners” in Iran as if there were a significant moderate balance to them in the country.
Another apparent fissure emerged Tuesday when Iranian state TV announced the arrest of a Lebanese technology expert, Nizar Ahmad Zakka, who worked in the United States and was accused by Iran of “deep ties” to the USA military.
Americans are unlikely to accept Khameini’s explanation considering Iran’s recent behavior.
Iran has arrested a number of activists, journalists and artists since Rouhani’s 2013 election and now holds four Iranians with US citizenship, including a Washington Post reporter.
The demonstration Wednesday in front of the brick walls at the former USA diplomatic compound – scene of a 444-day hostage standoff- was just the latest show of resolve by Iranian conservatives in a running showdown with reformers that goes back decades. “It… means death to US policies and its arrogance”.
Executive Director Foundation for Defense of Democracies Center on Sanctions and Illicit Finance Mark Dubowitz said he expects the country to cheat and warned that the foreign subsidiaries loophole will be reopened under the deal – meaning foreign subsidiaries of American parent companies would be allowed to do business with Iran. They’re now believed to be held along with three other Americans in Iran, including Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian.
Israel too sees a threat from conventional missile attacks, Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said last week, without naming Iran explicitly, and said he thought the nuclear deal had delayed but not removed the threat of an Iranian nuclear weapon. The United States has a lot of different kinds of people in leadership positions, many different kinds of institutions. For Iran and Russian Federation, to a few extent you have “The Assad regime is here to stay for a bit, ” Tabatabai says. “The U.S, and the West more generally, is a bit of a different story”. The priorities are not aligned.
In addition to starting the “Down with US?” online campaign, scores of Iranians took to the streets on Wednesday to burn American flags and chant in favor of America’s destruction. Worse still, Khamenei’s comments may, in fact, be a sign of resurging anti-Americanism in Iran.
To that effect, Ayatollah Khamenei said: “During the negotiations, one of American officials spoke of hatred of war and even wept”.
“The message of the Iranian nation today is that they will protect the Revolution’s achievements with perseverance and consistency, national awareness and the guidance of the Leader”, said Rouhani.
