After President Trump pulled America out of the Iran nuclear deal, Iranian lawmakers shouted “death to America” and burned the US flag.
Cool. I’m investing in companies that sell US flags in Iran. I’ll make a million!

Go ahead and invest in some white flags also for when Iran surrenders.
Due to a snafu at CNN the footage was mislabeled. The flag burning was actually a feed from CSPAN of the US Congress during a speech by Chuck Schumer.
Same difference.
sounds like they took the news in stride then.
… as opposed to what they were shouting when?
It’s just mysterious.
I can’t think of a motive why USA Today wouldn’t note these previous stories, in their reporting on Iran’s attitude “AFTER” Trump pulled out of the deal.
Either they have no news archives, or . . .
. . . well, what could the alternative explanation be??

‘Death to America’ stands despite nuclear deal: Iran MPs
Yahoo News | 10/02/15
“The martyr-nurturing nation of Iran is not at all prepared to abandon the slogan of ‘Death to America’ under the pretext of a nuclear agreement,” 192 members of Iran’s 290-seat parliament said in a statement carried by state news agency IRNA. They said the slogan, chanted at the weekly Friday prayers in mosques and at protests, had “turned into the symbol of the Islamic republic and all struggling nations”. The statement was issued two days before Iran’s commemoration of the start of the November 4, 1979 seizure of the US embassy in Tehran by radical Islamic students…
KERRY: IRAN’S “DEATH TO AMERICA” DOESN’T MEAN THEY WANT TO KILL US
Frontpage Mag | 08/01/2015 | Daniel Greenfield
Secretary of State John Kerry is still seeking a nuanced explanation for Iran’s government saying, “Death to America”. He called the Iranian government’s cries of “Death to America” “not helpful” and suggested that the Supreme Leader might not really mean it. And now Kerry would like to emphasize that aside from the “Death to America” chants and the nuclear bombs and constant threats of war, at no time was he made aware of an Iranian plan to destroy America.
Kerry told Iranians: ´Death to America´ chants are ´pretty stupid’
The Hill | 7/24/15 | Jesse Byrnes
Secretary of State John Kerry says he told Iranian officials during the nuclear talks that “death to America” chants at public rallies in their country were “pretty stupid.” “I told them that their chants of ´death to America´ and so forth are not helpful, and they´re pretty stupid,” Kerry said, lowering his voice, during a question-and-answer session at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, where he sought to sell the controversial nuclear deal. Critics have long seized on the chants, saying it shows Tehran is hostile to the United States and that the international community should not trust negotiations,
Iran Still Chanting ‘Death to America’
Canada Free Press | 07/22/15 | Arnoild Ahlert
The Islamic Republic vows to stay its deadly course There’s nothing quite like the astonishment of progressives whenever their profound and enduring ignorance of human nature is thrust in upon them. And so it is with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his reaction to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s speech last Saturday. It was a speech during which the Supreme Leader reminded the world the hostility that exists between his nation and the United States is not about to be extinguished by the nuclear arms agreement.

Iran Supreme Leader: Hey, thanks for the deal! Oh… and death to America
Hotair | 07/18/2015 | Jazz Shaw
The deal is done, so everyone can stop carping and go home. Barack Obama clearly feels that he has further cemented his legacy of brilliant foreign policy maneuvers and restoring peace to the planet by having John Kerry work out an agreement with Iran regarding their nuclear weapons program — er, I mean, their peaceful nuclear power program, which could last for up to five, eight or ten years. (Or could end tomorrow if the Iranians get tired of yanking our chains.) But on the plus side, at least our relations with the reclusive nation have improved, right?
