Iran's president blasts Trump over threats to cancel Nuclear deal


On Friday night, US president, Donald Trump held a press conference where he threatened to withdraw from Iran's Nuclear deal if the U.S congress doesn't make corrections and adjustments to the accord.
The 10 year Nuclear deal formed by the Obama Administration, ensures that Iran stops its Nuclear program for grants and aids from the U.S government, but Trump says the deal is the most 'one sided deal he's ever seen' and believes Iran is the only beneficiary from the deal.
Trump also claimed in his speech that Iran hasn't been complying with their own part of the agreement but IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog that monitors nuclear programs, says  that Tehran has been complying with its obligations under the deal.

"The claim by the president of United States regarding Iran's non-compliance has no international relevance or credibility, since the IAEA, as the sole authority to conduct such monitoring and verification, has repeatedly confirmed Iran's full compliance with its commitments," Iran's foreign ministry said.

Just minutes after Trump's press conference, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani,  made a live address saying that the US President could not decide the fate of the deal on his own as the deal was agreed with the UN Security Council not just the United States.

"This is an international, multilateral deal that has been ratified by the UN Security Council. It is a UN document. Is it possible for a President to unilaterally decertify this deal? Apparently, he's not in the know."

He said aggressively : “What we heard tonight was a repeat of the same baseless accusations and insults that we’ve heard over the past 40 years. It had nothing new; we weren’t surprised because for 40 years we’ve got used to these words. With your baseless speech you made our people more united.”

Rouhani went on: “Today, the US is more isolated than ever against the nuclear deal, [more] isolated than any other time in its plots against people of Iran.”

The Iranian president shrugged off Trump’s call for Iran to stop it's ballistic missile programme.

“Our missile and defence activities have always been important to us for our defence, and today it’s more important,” Rouhani said. “We have always made efforts to produce weapons that we need, and from now on we will double our efforts. These weapons are for our defence and we will continue strengthening our defence capabilities.”

Trump in his speech refered to the Perisian gulf as the Arabian gulf to which Rouhani blasted him further .

“How come a president has not yet learned the name of a famous gulf in the world, the same Persian Gulf that US vessels always pass through aimlessly?”

“He needs to study geography, but also international law. How come an international agreement that is endorsed by a UN resolution, which is a UN document … how a US president can annul such an international document?”

Trump received rapid support, meanwhile, from Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said  “ I congratulate President Trump for his courageous decision today” and for “boldly confront[ing] Iran’s terrorist regime”.

13yr old gang leader and his crew murdered for making threats towards an older gang (graphic video and photo)

A young boy and his fellow gang members were murdered in a gruesome manner after they recorded a video threatening an older gang in Brazil. In videos shared online, a group of young boys with their faces covered are seen making threats, one after the other. They were later caught by the older gang members who then tortured them then blew their heads out. The bodies of the young boys were then left on the street with their brains scattered all over the floor. The older group went on to share videos of them torturing the 13-year-old leader of the gang before killing him and the rest of his crew. A video of their corpse was also shared. The video of the 13-year-old gang leader being tortured is really pathetic because the boy looks so innocent and still has the face of a child. Here is a video of them making the threats. Here is one of the young gang leader being tortured. And here is a grisly video of the aftermath.

Kendall Jenner finally breaks her silence over Pepsi controversial Ad

Back in April, Kendall Jenner's debut advert for Pepsi generated serious backlash for her and the soda company. Pepsi was criticized for the 'insensitive' commercial, with people accusing them of exploiting the Black Lives Matter movement and for casting a white model in the role of a peacemaker between protesters and the police The Soda company apologized for the infamous advert and for putting Kendal, who was also called out on social media for accepting the ad, in such a controversial position. The model has spoken put for the first time in an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians which aired on Sunday night. She said; "I just feel really, really bad. I feel really bad that anyone was ever offended. I feel really bad that this was taken such a wrong way and I genuinely feel like s--t. I have no idea how I'm gonna bounce back from it." "I would never purposely hurt someone ever. I would, obviously, if I knew this ...

Nigerians Pay Homage To Nollywood’s Baddest Boy, Hanks Anuku

dailyadvent.com Mar 5, 2019 11:37 AM Twitter was in a lull until a user asked who the baddest boy of Nollywood was. View image on Twitter Abuja Minister - LLB, B.L,BBM, MG @Sir_BiolaPr Who was Nollywood's baddest guy? 1- Gentle Jack 2- Hanks Anuku 3- Segun Arinze 1,178 6:00 PM - Mar 3, 2019 966 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Is this even a fair competition? This is like comparing Annalise Keating to Omotola Jolade’s character in Alter Ego. No one comes close to Hanks Anuku and his ‘broad’ voice and utterly incredible American+British+Australian accent. Whenever he’s robbing someone on a movie scene, you have no choice but to reduce the volume before the neighbours will run away. Segun Arinze was quite bad in Black Arrow. Gentle Jack rarely spoke. And I think the only person who came close to Hanks was late JT Tom West. Abuja Minister - LLB, B.L,BBM,...
