What is needed in order to defeat a plan that has already been rejected by one side is unclear. But it’s noteworthy that Iran thinks it has anything to say about this plan at all. Iran has no geopolitical stake in this agreement or its rejection. Its only interest stems from Islam. This shows once again the centrality of Islam to Muslim countries’ assessment of the Israeli-“Palestinian” conflict — the one aspect that Western analysts routinely ignore. Get details in The Palestinian Delusion.
“Iran Prepared To Defeat ‘Deal Of Century’, Qods Force Commander Tells Gaza Leaders,” Radio Farda, February 3, 2020:
The new commander of Iran’s Qods Force has told HAMAS and Islamic Jihad leaders that “The Islamic Republic is prepared to defeat President Donald Trump’s latest proposal to solve the Israeli-Palestinian issue, Iranian agencies reported on Sunday February 2.
“Iran is prepared to stand alongside the Palestinian nation and particularly resistance forces to confront the threats caused by the Deal of the Century,” General Esmail Qaani has said in a phone conversation with Islamic Jihad leader Ziad Nakhale and HAMAS leader Ismail Haniyeh Saturday evening.
Qaani replaced Qods Force’s former commander Qassem Soleimani after he was killed in a U.S. drone attack in Baghdad in early January.
Semi-official news agency ISNA says that the two Palestinian leaders welcomed Iran’s stance against the Deal of the Century. However, Qaani did not elaborate on how Iran is going to confront Trump’s initiative.
Haniyeh and Nakhale met Qaani last month during their visit to Iran to take part in Soleimani’s funeral. However, the Saturday night conversation over the phone was the first reported official contact with Palestinian leaders by a high-ranking Iranian military officer after the declaration of the Deal of the Century….
The Revolutionary Guard or IRGC has called it “a big satanic conspiracy” by the United States adding that it would be “ditched in the trash can of history.”…

Robert called a Muslim a top “dog”. Do I need to be Muslim to issue a fatwa against him?
He knows Muslims hate dogs almost as much as they hate facts. What an insult. Is there anyway to de-platform him from the World? This needs to be addressed now before he assaults another innocent Muslim with more facts.

I thought that guy died in 1997 already:

“The Islamic Republic is prepared to defeat” Trump’s peace plan.
No surprise whatsoever considering that Islam since the seventh century has been prepared to defeat any attempt at peace that does not embrace the pseudo-peace that Islam has been pursing from its inception, i.e., peace equated with submission to Mo’s warped creed.
Submission should never be wrapped up with the noble goal of peace. But Islam has “managed” to do so for some 1400 years and this serves as one of many reasons, and there’s a ton of them, why Islam represents an abomination of the human spirit and is a fraud of the first order.
I welcome peace. I detest Islam. These two sentiments are inextricably intertwined.

Declaring war against the United States of America will end badly for this pompous fool! What amount of money is worth losing your life for a corrupt mullahocracy? No one who fights for the corrupt Iranian conspiracy is intelligent. They are mental defectives!

Recommendation to General Esmail Qaani:
Rescind your propaganda and DON’T mess with Israel or the United States – or you’ll be the next target of a missile fired from an MQ-9 Reaper drone.
Watch your back…

DHazard- I suspect it’s Robert’s unconscious dark humor working overtime again. As for Esmail Qaani- Dead man walking. What a chump, what a tool, or as Trump so eloquently puts it, “He’s a loser.”
mortimer says
General Esmail Qaani will be hated by future generations of free Iranians and considered a fool and betrayer.

Iran’s new Quds Force top dog: “The Islamic Republic is prepared to defeat” Trump’s peace plan
…………………..
How brave is it to vow to defeat a peace plan? What a bunch of morons.
somehistory says
If one is asked to agree to peace, then to “defeat” the plan, all they have to do is say, “No.”
This guy looks so much like the one-time pm/pres achmodinajad…(the spelling is incorrect, but I don’t give a care.) There must be a lot of moslim in-breeding among those who rise to high ranks in the iranian government. He could be the other guy’s brother.
And they all breathe the same empty hot air.
Mischief Maker in the Land says
achmodinajad…… not quite. Should be Armoured Dinner Jacket.
somehistory says
Either way, he is evil…(applies to both of them)

So that’s where Jeremy Corbyn(UK Politico and Iran’s best friend) got his “look” from?
