Iranian Official Answers Questions About Negotiations With the US

 

The most important aspect of this interview we need to understand, is that Iran is not asking the US to make any concessions. What Iran wants is for the US to cease hostilities and remove the punishing sanctions it has inflicted on Iran for decades. The US is also holding millions of dollars of Iranian money.

 

What the US wants is for its settler colony in the region to be the only possessor of nuclear weapons and and Iranian government that is controlled by the US.  The Zionist regime as the only possessor of nuclear weapons in the region, is, as John Mearsheimer and others have stressed, an existential threat to Iran. It’s most likely a threat to the entire region and as we are witnessing at the moment, a threat to the entire world. 

 

Israel, as a proxy for US imperialism in the region is and has been the most destructive and destabilizing force in the Middle East, neither have been serious about a Palestinian state and the geno*ide in Gaza and the increasing attacks on Palestinians in the occupied territories, and now the ethnic cleansing of Lebanon, proves that to be true.

 

The displacement of so many people in Lebanon will likely increase the number of refugees seeking a haven in Europe where right wing forces will foster anti-immigrant sentiment and blame them for the crisis of capitalism of which the wars in the Middle East are a part.

 

It’s staggering when one thinks about it. The US and Israel waged an unprovoked attack on Iran. They have bombed hospitals, schools, heritage sites, infrastructure. The US murd*red over 50 young schoolgirls by firing a Tomahawk missile in to their school. The US and Israel assassinated Iran’s leading cleric and a number of government officials.  International law, which only really applied to former colonial states and their officials is now dead.

 

Donald Trump’s popularity is at an all-time low and he is appearing to be suffering from some form of dementia. He started a war, by all accounts pressured by the Israeli war criminal Netanyahu, that he cannot end. In fact, the US has been humiliated by this war. The US bases that surrounded Iran were knocked out in a day or so. These cost the US taxpayer trillions of dollars. What we could have done with that much money. 

 

The US and Israeli governments are at this point the most despised governments on earth.
