Iran – And Her “Economy of Resistance”

[Hack-Hook]

The only way to this economy :
1) Stop selling crude oil
2) Tolerating hard sanctions and developing home made goods
3) Sticking to Muslim world and Muslim countries. Muslim world can be market for our high-tech military equipment and locally produced goods. 1.8 billion Muslims are awaiting for an strong Muslim country to depend on, frankly we must tolerate the hardest sanctions and finally become the strongest Muslim country. Muslim world needs a shield against western thugs
4) Forgetting about west
The last one, 4th, is the most important one

1 - completely true
2 - home grown industry yes but sanction not necessary

3 & 4 its totally unwise to restrict yourself to one group . you must keep your friend near you and your enemies even nearer .
And Muslim umma dream died in Seffin

Why iranian nationalist atheist like you make propaganda for the islamic garbage that rule iran??

Oh come on man who are you to say about Iranian nationalist, Iran is old nation with multi culture and multi ethnic country, and this is what American and Canadian try to make and will fail soon at that.
I like and support Islamic republic b/c of his goal: No East, No West, just Islamic republic and I like to mention that we always had strong extreme religions government. Islamic republic in compare of Sassanian empire or Safavid empire is less religious.
and at current time we don't have alternative do you think California capitalist lover or rajavi commonist thugs which always are in the bed of Saudis are better than Ayatollahs?
we should slowly work with Ayatollahs and finally reach mutual understanding from situation and at same time make Iran strong and powerful and great model for others.

I am not this man supporter but I am agree with his view about how western zionist plan of globalization of world is dangerous for every country as well as Iran and also about his point that is our duty ...

Your beloved Muslim Umma are now gathering together to kill every single one of us, thanks to the akhond's policies in Syria, and you want to play a role model for them?

Just go through this thread's posts to see it for yourself.
@Tokhme khar Policy of akhond is paying off huh??? @Arminkh If koroush kabir was alive today, he would be proud of us huh???

I do agree change had to come from Inside and from inside movements and activism.

I've to add the following to the slogan... No east, no west, no islamism/ummaism, Yes independent Iran only.

The question remains if these ayatollahs want to accept peoples wishes. We've a poor class of clerics who became suddenly rich and who sit in position of kings and prinses nowadays. If you want to take bread and gold from a hungry greedy beggar be prepared for a tough confrontation.

Till now they have chosen the path of conflict with their control of media, Politics, judges, intelligence agency.

In 1999, 2009 they got little bit scared, but their tone changed immediately after beating the demonstrations, ignoring all signals and instead chosing for polarization.

God forbid if they think they can repeat this forever and if they think their system is strong as soviet union or Chinese government.

منظورت منم؟! دمت گرم

wake up your muslim world is the hardest on you and they sharpening their knife to cut your throat.

There is no Islamic ummah !

But we have a salafism ummah all around the borders !!!

I know what you mean brothers, i am not a fool. Of course most of them will behead me if reached me, shouting Allahu Akbar to visit 72 virgins in heaven.
But something tells me that stupid Muslims will come together again and that time is so close.
Anyway the better, Let's read our holy book again ::
وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ
﴿۱۰﴾
أُوْلَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
﴿۱۱﴾
فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ
﴿۱۲﴾
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
﴿۱۳﴾
وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ
﴿۱۴﴾
Yes, << قلیل من الآخرین>>.

Not sure what you said above has to do with what I posted or Kooroshe kabir for that matter? Who talked about Ummah? I have posted a Christian Economist view about Iran and where its economy is going. I also agree with him that US dollar and its economy is a very powerful way to project soft power. Any country that likes to remain independent needs to be aware of this fact and have a way to deal with it.

I'm smaller that that to speak for Kooroshe Kabir. I'm hoping he would be proud.

What is your own take besides Christian Economist view? what should be done regarding economy to flourish? I think it's our first and most important achilles' heel ....without healing it we could not maneuver in other fields ....

I agree. Iran has vast resources (both in human and natural). Guiding all of that into production will give Iran significant strength for whatever goal it likes to achieve.

I think the first step is providing stability. Economy will not flourish in an unstable environment. I am a supporter of JCPOA only and only for that matter. Whether we like it or not, sanctions and threats, coming from the strongest country in the world is not going to help us. And I'm not talking about foreign investors, Iran has many rich people who know how to put their money to work in a constructive way, but when you don't know what is coming next month or next year, you would make safe bets like investing in gold, Dollar or real estate. Which is not what Iran needs.

If Iran government could somehow solve this dilemma, i.e. continue its independent path and somehow calm the waters, then I don't think much needs to be done. The economy will start to thrive again when investors' trust is gained.

IMO, the only way to make a lasting peace/solving the dilemma (calming down waters) is via reconciliation with people of Israel (of whom at least 1/4 or 1/5 were born in Iran or are of Iranian lineage) and let the Palestinian issue to their Arab cousins. The mullah policy in regard with Israel/Palestine is damaging our country more than anything else. We're suffocating ourselves with this idiotic policy.

All that trouble for what purpose? what do we gain? what have we gained by pursing this dumb policy for 3 decades? heck their own Arab cousins don't care about the issue as much as our government does. There's no gain only suffering for us.

It is more complicated than that. Iran is trying to position itself as the leader of Islamic world and a symbol of resistance against Western Hegemony. That's where all this friction with KSA and rest of its gang coming from. Giving up on Palestine will undermine that position. On the other hand Iran is using Israel as a leverage against US. Iran knows it can not reach US mother land in case of a war, but It can easily reach Israel.

Giving up on Palestine, means a total review and alteration of Iran's strategic plans and Ideology. Easier is to find a way for Palestinians and Israelis to co-exist, either in the form of two nations or as one but with the same civil rights. I think that is something that Iran should seriously work on and try to achieve.

" Iran is trying to position itself as the leader of Islamic world and a symbol of resistance against Western Hegemony" That quote is the root of all of our problems. Why do we need to be the leader of Islamic world? is there a trophy that comes with it? does it come with economic prosperity? why? for what purpose? what's the benefit?


Leave the barbaric Islamic ummahs to their own device, let the KSA ( or whoever ) be the leader of that $hit show.
Lets think/talk about our own people ' the Iranians' with different ethnicity, needs and backgrounds, lets talk about how we're going to make our country better for our children and their off springs, lets talk about how to bring economic prosperity instead of being leader of " Islamic world". That my friend will get us somewhere prosperous not that Islamic leadership.

Just go to this thread ( https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/iran...udi-led-military-alliance-envoy.487145/page-5) and see the hatred of these so called Islamic ummahs that our government wants to be its leader? it's moronic, how can you become leader of such violent people where 90% of them want to chop your head off. We're being delusional to our own destruction. I bet as an Iranian you would get a better treatment at an Israeli airport than a Saudi airport.

All these PGCC countries are dealing with Israel day in day out without any problems at all and they still claim to be the leader of $hit show so changing policy is the best way to catch these Arab countries off guard and more importantly free ourselves from these uncertainty that hangs over our economy. The mullahs tried this failed policy for 3 decades, time to change course for better!

Actually there comes a lot of prizes with it. That's Iran's way of projecting soft power. Instead on investing in Hollywood, Disney, or establishing expensive military bases, Iran is expanding its influence in a much subtle and cheaper way.

Look at the map. As you can see Iran is surrounded by Islamic countries. Gaining their trust and respect will go a long way.

I have red that. But don't think for a moment, that if Iran just let it go, this hatred will stop. What did Iran ever do to Saddam when he invaded Iran? What had we done to KSA and rest of the gang when they all started supporting Saddam against Iran?

Iran influence in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen is a result of its current policy. At least now we have 4 less countries to worry about compared to 80s.
