Irans parlament står bakom slagordet ”Död åt Amerika”
Det finns ingen anledning att överge slagord som ”Död åt Amerika”. Det anser en klar majoritet av ledamöterna i Irans parlament, skriver nyhetsbyrån AFP.
Även om Teheran i somras ingick en uppgörelse om sitt kärnteknikprogram med bland annat USA har inställningen till stormakten inte förändrats.
– Amerika utgör den största delen av problemet i regionen, inte en del av lösningen, sade högste ledaren, ayatolla Ali Khamenei i ett tal på söndagen där han nämnde USA:s stöd till "sionistregimen" i Israel som ett exempel.

Uttrycket ”Death to America”
Wikipedia (en)
Death to America (Persian: مرگ بر آمریکا Marg bar Âmrikâ) is an anti-American political slogan and chant which has been in use in Iran since the inception of the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Ayatollah Khomeini, the first leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, popularized the term. He opposed the chant for radio and television, but not for protests and other occasions.
The literal meaning of the phrase is "Death to America". In most official Iranian translations, the phrase is translated into English as the less offensive "Down with America." The chant "Death to America" has come to be employed by various anti-American groups and protesters worldwide. Another similar slogan formerly used in Iran was "Death to the Soviet Union".

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) (Persian: برنامه جامع اقدام مشترک, known in Iran by the Persian acronym BARJAM, Persian: برجام, pronounced [bˈæɾdʒɒːm]) is an international agreement on the nuclear program of Iran signed in Vienna on 14 July 2015 between Iran, the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States—plus Germany), and the European Union.
Formal negotiations toward the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran's nuclear program began with the adoption of the Joint Plan of Action—an interim agreement on the Iranian nuclear program signed between Iran and the P5+1 countries—in November 2013. For the next twenty months, Iran and the P5+1 countries engaged in negotiations, and in April 2015 agreed on a framework agreement for the final agreement. In July 2015, Iran and the P5+1 agreed on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Under the agreement, Iran agreed to eliminate its stockpile of medium-enriched uranium, cut its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98%, and reduce by about two-thirds the number of its centrifuges for at least fifteen years. For the next fifteen years, Iran will only enrich uranium up to 3.67%. Iran also agreed not to build any new uranium-enriching or heavy-water facilities over the same period. Uranium-enrichment activities will be limited to a single facility using first-generation centrifuges for ten years. Other facilities will be converted to avoid proliferation risks. To monitor and verify Iran's compliance with the agreement, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will have regular access to all Iranian nuclear facilities. The agreement provides that in return for verifiably abiding by its commitments, Iran will receive relief from U.S., European Union, and United Nations Security Council nuclear-related sanctions.
