Iranian Chill Thread

[sha ah]

So the Lira has currently hit an all time low against the US Dollar

This explains why Erdogan is planning a new offensive in Syria. Right out of the authoritarian playbook. When the economy is not doing well, rally the people behind a military offensive.

Erdogan: New military operation in Syria ‘soon’

Turkish leader says aim is to create 30km ‘safe zone’ in Syria; would be fourth major Turkish incursion since 2016.

The only question is, will the US do anything to stand up for their YPG allies this time or will they abandon them to their fate again ? If they honestly allow Erdogan to pummel them again, the YPG should seriously consider an alliance with the Syrian government. What the heck is the point of an ally that doesn't even stand up for you ?

I'm looking to global crude oil prices index and when you scroll down to the section that covers Iran it says "deliveries to North Western Europe", "deliveries to Mediterranean", "deliveries to South Africa" etc. Wouldn't sanctions be preventing Iran from selling to some of these regions openly ?

Also notice how Russia is selling some of their crude for $77. Even if it's heavy crude, Canada is selling it for $95. That's a 20% discount. I've heard that they're selling large amounts of oil to India and China at that price.

Anyways can someone explain the part about Iran ?

Delay in their data.quality of Iran's oil is equal to SA and Kuwait.price seems same range 108-111

Russia can meet needs relying on Iranian goods: Russian deputy PM​

Tehran, IRNA – Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak

It would be possible by reducing imports’ restrictions and establishing relations based on currencies in both countries, Novak said at Russia-Iran joint trade meeting on Wednesday.

Pressures put on Russia by unfriendly countries increase the need to develop Moscow-Tehran ties, Novak added.

He went on to say that his country is after presenting a transparent and real image for bilateral relations.

Russia is interested in deepening cooperation with Iran, he underlined.

As Novak stressed, good opportunity was created last year for fostering bilateral trade exchange as the two countries witnessed an 81-percent growth in their trade volume.

Referring to Russia’s willingness to complete North-South Transport Corridor, the official said his country wants to develop the corridor, have access to Persian Gulf littoral region, and do more activities in that region.End

Agreed.

It can be easily argued that one of the hallmarks of American culture in general is the glorification of violence itself and the use of it to solve most problems. Every problem looks like a nail when the only tool you have to deal with it is a hammer...

In the US there are so many guns that it's basically impossible for the government to retrieve them all even if they tried. The prevalence of firearms leads to a mentality of paranoia, where even people who are not inclined to purchase a gun end up doing so just for protection. The proliferation of firearms basically works like a domino effect.

In the thread dedicated to the recent school shooting, an American user appears to be trying to rationalize these horrible incidents by referencing the so-called second amendment of the regime's "constitution". Making it appear as if these massacres were sort of an "acceptable" price to pay in exchange for the supposed political "freedom" enjoyed by American citizens (in fact an enslaved lot brainwashed into staying permanently oblivious to their actual plight). Then they go on contrasting the condition of USA nationals with the supposedly "oppressed" people of China!

Read: let your children get shot every once in a while as they're attending classes and enjoy the so-called "freedom" to own firearms which are never going to allow you to resist a "dictatorial" power anyway (power that will always retain the upper hand in terms of armament), rather than to be assured of your children's safety but to be deprived of this preposterous "right" as well as of a pseudo-electoral circus show intended to project an illusion of "democracy".

The length to which USA regime apologists will go to try and sugarcoat the unjustifiable madness is astonishing. Latest variant: there are this many school shootings in the USA because that's the only way for American citizens to safeguard their "freedom" in case the Washington regime turned authoritarian (sorry, free... what? As if people had ever really gotten to "democratically" determine their destiny in the USA. What a joke )!

As one Chinese user correctly replied: no matter what excuse you'll come up with, if this sort of a tragedy is happening repeatedly, you are nothing but a failure. Amen to that, indeed.

Having handguns(without auto fire) makes sense with American laws which can be replaced with other non-lethal self defense tools such pepper sprays,shockers and .... for most people.

Real problem comes from military grade weapons in hands of civilians.with such weapons someone can harm large group of civilians in matter of few seconds.

"Other side argues it's for safety against possible bad doing of government."
Government response against group of people armed with hand guns or AR-15 would be the same and you have no chance to change the outcome.

Look, the right to bear arms is a noble one but amerikwans aren't qualified to have it (and frankly, neither are Iranians but it's a different discussion).

Swiss and Finns have a high gun ownership rate and yet their homicide rate is low. I'd trust even Yemeni and Chechen 9-year-olds to carry firearms before I would an amerikwan.

It has nothing to do with nationality.

Problem starts with their supreme court and it's relation with politics.

It is a shame that IR is again dependent on foreign countries for food imports...Rouhanni did a great job of destroying Iranian wheat production by refusing to buy Iranian wheat and preferred to import the wheat rather than giving a bit more to Iranian farmers ( as instructed by MI6 of course)...now I give Raisi 2 years to fix the problem before I open my big mouth and complain..lol

I am surprised that US and Israel have not had high tier spies like a minister in Iran.

Things are going to escalate soon.

Energy and oil
Missiles and drones
Plausible deniability
Nuclear escalation

Like another user mentioned, the founding fathers of the USA, when they wrote the constitution and allowed the right to bear arms, the most common firearm back then was a musket. Reloading one shot was a tedious process. If fully automatic rifles or machine guns had existed back then, there is absolutely no way that they would have allowed people to easily access such weaponry, especially in established settlements or large population centers. It's madness

Unfortunately Iran's terrain is not suitable for large scale agriculture. Atleast not to the extent where it can feed a population of 80 million. I mean it's doable but it would require a massive investment in the agricultural industry. Farmers must use the most up to date and modern methods. Again this requires a massive investment and alot of effort.

I don't know, in this globalized world we live in, some economists believe that nations tend to be better off focusing on specific niches, focusing on their strengths and optimizing that sector. Iran has so much potential but unfortunately in the current political climate Iran cannot live up to its full economic potential.

During the Shah era Iran was pumping out 6 million barrels per day. Currently if you consider the fact that Iran consumes 2 million barrels per day and sells 1-1.5 million barrels per day, then production must be at 3 million barrels per day. If sanctions are lifted Iran could easily add 1 or 2 million barrels to the export market.

You would think that with the current predicament the west is facing with high petrol prices which are leading to higher inflation, that they would turn to Iran. I mean Venezuela doesn't have the capacity. Iran is basically their only hope for stabilizing the price. If Iran adds 1 million barrels to the market in a few months and then another million in another few months, then it will surely stabilize prices.

It is a shame that IR is again dependent on foreign countries for food imports...Rouhanni did a great job of destroying Iranian wheat production by refusing to buy Iranian wheat and preferred to import the wheat rather than giving a bit more to Iranian farmers ( as instructed by MI6 of course)...now I give Raisi 2 years to fix the problem before I open my big mouth and complain..lol

Russians are claiming that they have shot down 90 Bayraktar drones. Ukraine purchased atleast 50 from Turkey and yes at first they had some success, but the Russians quickly adapted and shot most of them down. Just like I predicted, against an extensive, multilayered and dynamic air defense network, drones can only do so much. To overwhelm Russian air defenses Ukraine would require hundreds of drones, atleast dozens flying at the same time.

The Popasnya bulge keeps expanding and now Russians have now cut off one of the main roads leading to Severodonetsk. The main bridge out of Severodonetsk was blown up by the Russians and the other bridges are in range of Russian artillery fire. Now 2000-3000 Ukrainian troops are encircled in Severodonetsk and the general area, with 10,000+ Ukrainian troops, is at risk of being completely encircled.

Russians target a gathering of Ukrainian soldiers with the KUB-BLA loitering munition in the Donbas region. Recently Russia also targeted an M777 howitzer with the same weapon. This is painful to look at.
