Iranian nuclear deal in 6 months?

[AJS-]

Spoke to an Iranian friend about this last night and he was furious. He sees it a western endorsement of the regime, which he anyway ranks along side ISIS as a brutal bunch of terrorist lunatics.

If anyone had to flee the Iranian revolution and subsequently were unable to return after the departure of the Shah, I would suggest they were on the wrong side of history.

1. It took this deal to force Iran to release several political prisoners.

2. No discussion about Iran propping up Assad.

3. No discussion about the continuing delivery of arms to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

4. No discussion about their stirring up trouble across the ME.

The above will now only get worse.

Let me give you a clue. N. Korea are great underground tunnel builders and Iran is full of very well educated engineers & scientists.

Would you like more?

1, Prisoner exchangers are always a good start.

2, If other countries had also helped Assad Syria wouldn't be the mess and ISIS stronghold it is now, instead the West supplied weapons to groups that joined ISIS instead. yay.

3, A group that exists due to Israeli aggression in the area, for many Hezbollah are freedom fighters and aren't even listed as a terrorist group by many including the UK.

4, Stirring up trouble in the ME? Really? Considering this entire mess can be traced back to US regime changes and meddling over the past 30 years and the UK's before that it's hard to criticise a country that has only been in two large military campaigns. The Iran-Iraq war in which Iran was the nation who were attacked and the ongoing efforts against ISIS.

Do not forget the assistance Iran gave the US and the UK in Afghanistan, not well publicised, for obvious reasons. You cannot have an Axis of evil member not being a pantomime villain, that does not make good TV, they are evil, and part of an axis, geeez, George W. Bush said so.

BTW, family fled Tehran in the 79 revolution and the country's been f....d ever since.

So family were part of the ruling elite and/or supporters of the Shah who was basically a US puppet?

So will they now export their gorgeous women to the UK?

No, last UK bound ex-pat plane out of Tehran in 79. The revolution had started.

Half of the family went to Israel the other half to London.

My brother was in charge of Coopers & Lybrand's Tehran office.

Cab driver had a guard with an AK to keep the passengers safe.
