Idiots Guide 101 on how to get sanctions back on Iran.
why not the Ayatullahs of Iran give themselves a rest and let the country breathe some air without the sanctions. Saudis and Israelis cant thank enough such announcements which have better chance of sending Iran back in the cold.. trashing all the efforts of Rohani .
instead of promoting or encouraging a violent confrontation with state of Israel where the only loosing party are the Palestinians .. one should actually provide the already impoverished and besieged people with food and medicine and accommodate the ones that are seeking refuge in other countries.
there is already Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans who are suffering at the hands of violent proxies like Daesh and Jama Al nusra.. they deserve immediate help and priority now .
I am all for the Palestinian cause and all that but antagonising the west is not wise when even the rest of Middle eastern monarchies don't give a word's worth of care to the suffering of Palestinians.. the only humane and peaceful effort I remember back in the days was by Turkish flotilla few years back.
charity starts from home.. there are troubles in Sistan and across the border in Baluchistan and then its Daesh knocking at the doors inside Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria are already lost. the results are hardly impressive and at best all the Iraqi and Syrian regimes have achieved is some kind of a stalemate.
as an outside observer and well wisher.. I would request Iran to ease off the confrontational drive.
PS no disrespect meant for Iran.. its personal Point of view with the hope that west doesnt find any excuse to put sanctions back on Iran.
First the total amount is only around $1 to 1.5 millions!! A simple public event for Persian literature in X university in Tehran costs more...
You unfortunately don't know about whom you are talking about... Iran is not just any other country... Iran has a constitution that says, Iran must help the cause of the Islam against aggressors whatever the outcomes would be... Iranian constitution says, Iran has a duty to help those who want to free their land of invaders/aggressors.
It is a known fact in Iranian politics that " We are only obliged to the cause and the outcome should not prevent us from helping those under occupation"
It is impossible for citizens of mostly puppet states to understand this noble value that Iranian Islamic Republic has exercised and promotes.
Even thought it is in the constitution to do this, Iran used to do this secretly, not letting it be open until the famous decision Iran made. Last time that Israeli the occupier, attacked Palestinians in Qaza and started to kill innocent West bankers and destroy their houses, building more Israeli settlements on occupied land despite global opposition, Iran decided to make it public. Iranian authorities announced officially that "from now on, Iran will be supporting ANY nation, group or individual who acts against Israel"
Israelis raged Iranian nation and they got what they deserve.
It is also a pity that few Muslim nations understand the true agenda of Israel and its allies in the region and the world. Most Muslim nations do easily forget contemporary history of their lands and people.
Iran and Iranians are proud people and won't sit silent to be blamed later why you did not act when lands were occupied and people were killed by Non-Muslims who call Palestinians as Savage, animals who need to be killed all soon or later...
I agree that authorities must act wise doing so, but hey, Iran as the only and unique defender of desperate Palestinians in the holy land has to remind the world and Muslims in particular, that Islamic main issue is still the Israel and Occupied Palestine. Never get fooled by ISIL/Al Nosra claims of their intention to revive Islamic Caliphate. It is just another smart move to disarm the arm of the resistance axis. Syria was the most important wall against Israeli dreams of expansion. Soon, with the help of the servants of Mecca and Medina, Jews, Evangelist Christians will be ruling the region that belongs to Muslims at most and decide if other nations are worthy to be existed just as they decided Palestinians after centuries.
Talking nice is nice..but Don't you really know that on ground-reality, the world is a jungle. The lion eats all. You are doomed to be eaten if you are a rabbit and very close to be killed if you're an allied panther.
Iran learnt its lessons soon and is working hard 24/7 to first, secure itself in that jungle and then help others secure their lives against predators.
Please don't offend your wisdom by assuming that democracy and freedom is today's main Edens. Democracy for Syria where there is a semi-democratic system in place, by nations that are absolute monarchs with no votes or no rights for women to even drive and yet USA and the West as a whole.. shake hands with these monarchs to initiate democracy in a voting nation like Syria and Iraq!!! Jungle brother ... jungle...
btw, Sistan and Balouchistan don't need this $1 millions... These budgets come from the same bag that all other strong nations have for issues like this. Sistan and Balouchistan soon will be one of the most developed areas of Iran.
The volume of investments and fundamental changes that is ahead of Sistan and Balouchistan will be exceeding tens of billions of dollars if not hundreds of billions. The work has started to offset the time we missed in there but still needs more time.
In 5 years, short term indicators in Sistan and Balouchistan will be around Iranian average and in 10 years you will see them surpass most Iranian provinces... The amount of investment is so huge that in 20 years I see a reverse emmigration of Tehranis down south to Sistan and Balouchistan. This is the plan and it is fixed by Iranian longterm strategic plans. This means no government can dodge from plans to rebuild sistan and balouchistan.
