Iranian general threatens US, Israel; says nuke negotiations won't change policy

From Tehran Times:
Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said on Monday that U.S. and Zionist forces in the region are militarily “within the area of action of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

He also said, “It is surprising that certain U.S. officials are still talking about military threats against Iran and simplistically believe that such threats can affect Iranian political strategists.

“The strategic mistake of the United States is that they have not realized that the carrot and stick approach is now outdated.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, Jazayeri said that the major policies of the Islamic Republic would not be affected by nuclear talks or negotiations about other issues.

He added that the United States can only get closer to Iran if it apologizes to the great Iranian nation and drops its hostile stance.
In other words, "Keep acting like suckers, America."
