WOW - WOW. As if you took the words right out of my head.
I try very hard to NEVER insult an Iranian person. I understand Westerners have used DIVIDE AND CONQUER against Iranians for more than 120 years, having understood early on that Iranians as a culture are easy to divide because of their idealism (Democrats are the same and are quickly manipulated by the Republicans).
Idealist people are looking for perfection and often miss the culprit that is manipulating them.
I so much agree with your description above, that is kind of scary.
Mr. Zarif wen to Alavi school in Tehran with one of my relatives and they are still best friends and go to Darband to eat cholo kebab at their favorite restaurant and talk about the world stage.
Mr. Zarif's experience in U.S. stem from his time at the U.N. mostly making proposals for ideals that most have given up on, like his NCR in 2003.
I believe he is not a politician, let's say, someone with CRYSTAL CLARITY on political gains and trades, with ideas on how to use political capital and chaos opportunities to further the cause. He is also, awfully bad at putting on a "poker face". Does he understand that most of the time his body language is incredibly submissive and both State Dept and CIA have experts in reading body language? Smiling/charming is only one strategy, not the only one.
I have watched his most popular (as he says) speeches, 1) in Norway a few years ago ("... We begged and no one gave us scuds ..."), and the recent one in 2020 Munich conference ("... we have two governments..").
He has no understanding how things are interpreted in the West. He "thinks Persian and speaks English".
On the contrary, Mr. Marandi (speaking) and Mr. Afrasiabi (writing) very clearly understand "interpretation" rather than speaking based on "translation". Mr. Zarif English and command of the language and his articulate ability to bring the point home, is below average for a FM.
I agree 100% he is not a traitor. He is there because "Iran has no one else available at the moment or able to do the job better, or not selected".
I try very hard to keep emotions aside and think clearly. It is hard to do so when it comes to Rohani. He has harmed the country, more than he knows, and more than most people know.
In December 2006, George W. Bush wanted to order an attack against Iran. His (military) Chairman of joint chiefs of staff, asked to resign as he did not want to participate in this. His reason, later divulged: "Ahmadinejad".
Rohani has done nothing of value for Iran. And he stole his neighbors land because he said he needs more space for cars that come to see him in his house, and needs more parking space. In Scotland he was briefed all the time by individuals who had ties with MI5, and he apparently knew.
Iranian people need to learn about UNITY so they understand they have to ELEVATE each other rather than put each other down. UNITY is the purest form of strength, more essential than weapons. That is why U.S. depends on U.K. to back it up with it wants to bomb Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan etc. UNITY is essential if a country wants to be strong and be respected.
Zarif is doing what he can. He is a good man inside. He cares about his country. Not necessarily the sharpest cat, nor does he always understand the West's interpretations of his behavior. But his heart is in the right place.
He wants to be a University Professor and he likes attention. He does deserve respect in my opinion. He is working hard for his country.
Iran needs someone as sharp as John Ghazvinian or Trita Parsi or someone who understand how to talk to the West, and how EACH WORD has a particular connotation within the western culture and political influencing.
Aryobarzan, are you sure YOU ARE NOT ME with a second account ??? hehe.
