Iran's hardliners unveil song on nuclear talks

The Music House of Iran's Basij unveiled a song about the ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the world powers in the Coburg Hotel in the Austrian capital of Vienna, semi-official Fars news agency reported on Tuesday.

The verses of the song named "Coburg Hotel" manifest the hardliners' pessimistic view about the West's pressures over Iran in the talks and their "deceptive" approach.

Part of the verse refers to the western side in the talks as the "wolf" and says that "I am pessimistic about the smile of the wolf," and expresses pessimism about what it terms as West's "big lie" for a compromise.

"As the talks becomes hot, the siege (on Iran) becomes tense," the song reads. It dismisses the talks which it says is conducted under "the spell of threats."

The song's major part further recalls the past enmity of the United States with Iran and amplifies "un-trustability" of the United States. The brave Iranians will not be decided by the smiles of the enemy, it reads.

The Basij is a paramilitary volunteer militia established in 1979 by order of the Islamic Revolution's leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. It is set up as subordinate to the Iranian Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the current Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran and P5+1, the five UN Security Council permanent members plus Germany, missed the Tuesday deadline for a comprehensive deal and agreed to extend the deadline to Friday.

In a possible deal, Iran would suspend some sensitive nuclear activities, and in return, Western states would partially relieve some sanctions imposed on Tehran. Endit
