Javad Zarif, Iran's foreign minister and top diplomat, held a press conference earlier today and stated, "Iran is prepared to shut down our entire nuclear program if Senator Cotton is expelled from the United States Senate. We will allow you to personally dismantle the whole thing."

Senator Cotton laughed when he learned of Iran's new negotiating position. "Iran is clearly lying. Besides, there are no grounds to expel me from the senate," stated Cotton, who was unaware of Iran's reasoning for his removal.
"Cotton met with defense contractors a day after he and 46 other Republicans in the senate wrote a note to Iran telling us not to trust President Obama. He completely undermined American foreign policy and would be executed for treason in most other countries," explained Zarif.
Republicans in the senate said they were "looking into it" when asked what they thought about Iran's offer.
