Where are your families? Iran or Here

by elmcoint on

Your hate toward Mullahs is so strong that you are willing to destroy the whole country for the sake of your revenge. Stop the non sense and start being more constructive aziz del bradar. you are too much. Sanctions are killing Iranians "NOT" the Government of Iran. Iran is a multi cultural society that a civil war will rip it apart. What they need is modification through so many social changes. Islam did not arrive in Iran yesterdy, it took Islam 1400 years to penetrate Iranians, and it will take a few hundred years to modify it to what we call it " today's standard". killing Mullahs will not solve Iranian's problems, modifying them will create so many positive changes. Iran need more time and you need more knowledge toward the region. Believe me the game is not about Iran's nuclear ambitions, the game is about money and power. Please grew up and read more about behind the curtains agendas; what you see in front can not  justify your negative reactions.

In an interview with Tabnak, Fatemeh Hashemi, head of the Foundation for Special Diseases, said that about six million patients in Iran are affected by restrictions on imported medicines. She emphasised that the shortage is more for cancer and multiple sclerosis drugs, but thalassemia and dialysis patients are also dealing with difficult situations. The sanctions have seriously complicated banking transactions, causing a hike in prices and shortages in some sectors. This is true even though sanctions do not specifically target the sale of medicine and medical equipment to Iran, Hashemi added.

On 15 October, European Union ministers agreed to a new set of sanctions against Iran that ban natural gas imports from the Islamic Republic and framed it as part of a dual-track strategy for both negotiations and pressure

"Iran will be another Cuba..."

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

Nonsense. Iran and Cuba are two opposite poles!

The way Iran's economy and Islamic regime itself has been falling apart after a mere two years of  limited sanctions, despite massive oil revenue, points us to what the islamic rgime really is: a massive  unpopular mafia of self interesting thieves and murderrs operating under the cover of "islam". There is really no "ideological" angle to this islamist mafia.

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

the key point is Sanctions Efficacy

by Kooshan on

If sanctions work, Iran will be another Cuba for next >50 years.

If sanctions fail, there will be no winner and most of the world may go back the age of coal-mining and mad-max!

Larijani: Iran prefers Obama

OU BA MA NEEST will never go as far as regime change

by Darius Kadivar on

He merely wants to make sure they enter a phase of negotiations which means that US policy towards IRan will adopt NIAC's position on the long run.

Once Ahmadinejad is out of the picture, blamed and maimed and presented as the "George W. Bush" of Iranian Politics they will put Larijani at the helm or some other "friendly face" with a pragmatic approach towards US American Relations.

That's When OU BA MA NEEST will make his historical "Nixon Like" Visit to Iran visiting Imam Khomeiny's Tomb and recongizing the So called CIA Coup ( Which never was on) and normalizing US Iran relations.

 

With Amanpour, Fareed Zakaria Making special Coverages on "Wow Look How Obama is Breaking the ice with the Islamic Republic just like Reagan did with the Soviet Union", Blah, Blah,Blah 

 

Mark My Words Fellow EYE RANIANS: 

 

TO VOTE OBAMA MEANS ENDORSING TRITA PARSI ON THE LONG RUN ! 

 

Just don't come back crying you didn't know !
