Iran’s Foreign Ministry said in a tweet today that the new U.S. sanctions that target Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other Iranian officials permanently end any chance of diplomacy between countries.
Abbas Mousavi took to Twitter to call out President Trump’s latest decision to impose additional sanctions and said the sanctions means “closing channel of diplomacy forever."
The comment was followed by Iranian President Rouhani, who mocked the White House and said it is "afflicted by mental retardation." Rouhani spoke live in a televised address on Tuesday.

There's no need to "obliterate" the country, like President Trump warns. Today's technology can zero in and surgically "remove" the terrorists...one at a time, if need be.

Ironic, as this is a negotiation tactic.
"Iran will always negotiate with the US, and their first demand in the negotiations is that the US remove sanctions."
What's needed in Iran is "normal" leadership that doesn't export murder and terror all over the world.

It's a well-known fact that sanctions only hurt average citizens. We get upset when 1 immigrant child dies at the US-Mexican border, yet many are dying in Iran, due to the harsh sanctions we've imposed on their country.

While this is true, there is no promise the next leader is better.
Diplomacy is the best option. Always.

Fully agree. Unfortunately I do not see that happening while America it there. How can a nation that performs a state sponsored act of terrorism upon itself claim to have any understanding of justice?

Yes..Iran's leaders are the #1 exporter of terrorism on the planet. Over the past 30 years, the same radicals at the top of Iran's government have directly and indirectly killed thousands of people all over the world.
They must be removed. There's no need to "obliterate" the country, like President Trump warns. Today's technology can zero in and surgically "remove" the terrorists...one at a time, if need be.
“We’ll be talking with them about how to make sure that we are all strategically aligned, and how we can build out a global coalition, a coalition not only throughout the Gulf states, but in Asia and in Europe, that understands this challenge as it is prepared to push back against the world’s largest state sponsor of terror,”
America is not (officially) in Iran. The current leadership has ordered, or funded, terrorists attacks that have killed thousands of people over the past 30 years.
What should the U.S. and global community do to effect that change, with minimal bloodshed?
I say "drone" top leaders, and let the people choose their President via a national election. How about you?
Then why were they having mass marches of disobedience and protests all over Iran last year,....
