    Tehran – Iranian lawmakers chanted “Death to America” during a parliament session on Sunday after a speaker accused the United States of being the “real world terrorist”, amid escalating tension with Washington following the downing of an unmanned U.S. drone.

    U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he aborted a military strike to retaliate for the drone incident because it could have killed 150 people, and signaled he was open to talks with Tehran.

    Iran said on Saturday it would respond firmly to any threat against it.

    “America is the real terrorist in the world by spreading chaos in countries, giving advanced weapons to terrorist groups, causing insecurity, and still it says ‘Come, let’s negotiate’,” the parliament’s deputy speaker, Masoud Pezeshkian, said at the start of a session broadcast live on state radio.

    “Death to America,” chanted many lawmakers.

    The chants, often repeated since the 1979 Islamic revolution which toppled the U.S.-backed Shah, came weeks after Trump said in a U.S. television interview: “They (Iranians) haven’t screamed ‘death to America’ lately.”

    And the lying left would have you believe this is new, only in response to Trump pulling out of the pathetic Iran deal (which benefited only Iran with hundreds of billions of dollars in cash, lifting of sanctions, allowing Iran to self-inspect themselves and rely on their word that they stopped enriching uranium and moving towards nukes, and would’ve allowed them to have nukes within 10 years, while the US got nothing in return other than empty promises), while Iran has been screaming the same threats against the US and Israel since the beginning! Thank goodness we don’t have the coward obama in power to enrich and encourage terror regimes! Gd bless Trump!

    Fake news …

    TRump says that now nobody in Iran ever says ‘Death To America’

    >> TRUMP, speaking about Iranians “screaming death to America” when Barack Obama was U.S. president: “They haven’t screamed ‘death to America’ lately.” — Fox News interview Friday.

    So if this MSM Reuters article says that Iran’s lawmakers chanted “Death to America” then this article is FAKE NEWS.

    Let the Morons say what they want, The USA or Israel can wipe them off the face of the earth faster than Hiroshim or Nagasaki. And no one will raise a finger or say a word in their defense. The USA made a gigantic error in not supporting the Shah & allowing the Mullahs to take over.
