LOl. You guys are really desperate arent you? to be in the good books of the SATAN(that was the word used by iranians for USA right?). Willing to befriend the devil himself. Wow! And so many in the muslim world admired Iran for standing up to the devil. And here you guys are desperate to become USA's friend.
We can have neutral relationship with the west. Muslim world might admire us, but the same muslim world is either friend or puppet of western countries and they have no sanctions. They will also not give us Iranians free medicines or cash when we are in trouble.
One thing the westerners today know about Iranian mentality is that we decide our own strategy and tactics. With this fact and knowledge, the west could start having ties with Iran. By this Iran could balance Russia and China. It's a fact that some countries are benefiting from a sanctioned Iran.
However few things need to be done by Iran also, like leaving the war of cousins (sunni/FSA palestinians-Israel) for themselves to fight and take a neutral position. Supporting shia alliance is ok as long as it is self-defence. Ending stupid islamist ideology in Iran that destroyed our potentials in the past 33 years and starting to focus on Iranian ideology and Iranian progress. This is the reality and if they dont adapt to these facts they will go bankrupt.
They want to keep helping shia? dress a suit and tie and even help al-qaeda like Erdogan does, no one will stop you or condemn you. The westerners are used to support terrorism and their allies funded taliban and al-qaeda and the madrassas for the salafist ideology. Now I'm not saying helping Shia means terrorism because I don't consider hezbollah (which has no problem with atheist, christians) as terrorist organisation like al-nusra or ISIS. What I mean is that you can help any group you like as long as you have ties with the west.
The Mullah thinks he can save islam and islamism only by putting a black goodyear or michellin tire on his head and by cutting few arms and fingers here and there.
These clerics are strange creatures, like leeches they will not leave easy because out of nothing they suddenly became rich and powerful (1979). And now every normal thing that Iran wants should take 3 steps instead of 1. In other words, todays Iranians are victim of American policies (coup of 1953) and the stupid mullahs.
Today the bastard Americans are having financial troubles, their soldiers were killed and wounded and Iran lost its enemies (saddam, taliban) and hopefully their troubles worsen IF they don't change their behaviour. The other thing that should happen internally is the war on mullaism/clericism inside Iran, by this I mean an ideological war that the Iranians can win easily. You can see that their power is nowhere near what they had in 1979 or begin of the 80s.
