    Iran lawmakers shout 'death to America,' burn U.S. flag after Trump nixes nuclear deal

    Iranian lawmakers shouted "death to America" and set fire to a paper U.S. flag during angry scenes at the country's parliament in Tehran, a day after President Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal.

    The protest came as Iranian officials, including parliament speaker Ali Larijani and President Hassan Rouhani, said Wednesday they hoped European leaders will work with them to preserve the deal between Tehran and world powers — without the U.S. — but stressed that the nation could now decide to resume its nuclear program.

    "If necessary, we can begin our industrial enrichment without any limitations," the Iranian leader said. "Until implementation of this decision, we will wait for some weeks and will talk with our friends and allies and other signatories of the nuclear deal, who signed it and who will remain loyal to it. Everything depends on our national interests."

    During the demonstration, lawmakers held up the flaming U.S. flag as their fellow parliamentarians joined in anti-American chants. They also burned a piece of paper representing the nuclear deal and stomped on the papers’ ashes. Larijani, according to the Iranian Students' News Agency, said Trump lacked "mental capacity."

    European diplomats meanwhile insisted that the 2015 accord would not suddenly collapse despite the U.S.'s withdrawal. Hans Dietmar Schweisgut, the European Union’s representative to China said Wednesday during a press briefing in Beijing that the EU strongly believes "that this is an agreement which belongs to the international community. This is not an agreement that will fall apart if you just walk away."

    Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia were all signatories to the 2015 accord under which Iran pledged to limit its stockpile of enriched uranium for 15 years and its number of centrifuges for 10 years. Both are needed to make nuclear weapons. The EU, U.S. and United Nations lifted economic sanctions as part of the deal.

    The International Atomic Energy Agency verified that Iran was complying with the terms of the agreement, but Trump and other hard-liners in his administration have repeatedly insisted that Iran's government could not be trusted and that it should be abandoned. Opinion polls show that a majority of Americans favor staying in the deal.

    Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, was quoted Wednesday by Iran's semi-official Fars news agency as saying: "We welcome Trump’s decision on pulling out of the deal. This is not a new event and has no effective role in any field." Jafari said that "it was clear that the Americans are not trustworthy."

    Actually, the American People are very trustworthy. Americans didn't give you JCPOA. Two Very Conflicted DemoQuack Wack-O-Doodles named John Kerry and Barack Obama gave you JCPOA. An online Fox News poll shows 96% of Americans opposed JCPOA and support President Trump's decision to withdraw from it and restore sanctions on Iran. Americans will not do business with a country or any other country who does business with a country whose legislators burn our flag or chant "Death to America" in their streets. PERIOD.

    Americans are pissed-off. 250 million pissed-off Americans is yours and everyone else's worst nightmare.

    Did they ever stop chanting "death to America" and stop burning our Flag???

    They have been doing that for decades.

    What do they do behind closed doors that they don't report?
