ElderToons: Iran draws a red line

Al Arabiya reports:
Iran will not sign up to a nuclear deal with world powers unless they accept its right to enrich uranium, its chief negotiator told reporters on Thursday.

Abbas Araghchi, speaking a day after talks with world powers resumed in Geneva, said Iran would not suspend its uranium enrichment activities, adding it was a “red line” for the Islamic state to do so.

“We have lost our trust ... we cannot enter serious talks until the trust is restored. But that doesn’t mean that we will stop negotiations,” Reuters quoted him as saying.
Whoa, no one said that it was a red line! That's serious - one you declare a red line, the rules say we cannot cross them!
