RE: U.S Renigs on the Iran deal

in #irandeal6 years ago

Interesting article... I agree with some and disagree with some other.

As far as we have oil to sell, our economy will not grow (unfortunately).
Dollar value (in rial) increased about 40% in last two weeks. The deal in 2015 didn't affect the people much but the government used it in media as a big achievement to make sure people will vote for them (Rouhani) again in the next election, and now, after Trump breaking the deal, Nobakht (Secretary-General of the Moderation and Development Party) says that the deal did not have any advantages for us so there will be no disadvantages in Trump breaking the deal. That was so ridiculous. These guys (Rouhani and his team) were talking about this deal and it's advantages on every television interview and now... when they realized they messed it up, they say this.

beside all these, what i don't understand is why USA cares about our nuclear program, when US has thousands of nuclear warheads?
Aren't they ashamed talking about Iran's nuclear program and that Iran might be developing nuclear weapon?

Sort:  

Thanks for reading and leaving a comment. It is tough to gauge how people in Iran felt and feel about the deal, because it is tough to get good reporting and news from that region. That is ridiculous. I would feel cheated. I do feel cheated by our politicians here too. I was reading a report that the money wasn't injected into the economy instead it went toward corruption.

I think the U.S. only partially cares about the program.

  1. It is a good mechanism to drive fear here in the U.S. because we have nuclear and Islamophobia. That way, the public isn't outraged when we participate in conflicts and proxy wars in the middle east and the U.S. military can do what it wants.
  2. Only our allies (except Russia) have nuclear weapons and I'm sure they want to keep it that way. Israel is a driving force in that because Iran and them are sworn enemies. They have attested that Iran gets nukes and Israel is off the map.
  3. To make the world safer. There are hard-line politicians in your country that yell death to america and burn our flag. Same for isreal. I think it's logical that another country wouldn't want those individuals to have nuclear weapons, whether people ever think they would do it or not.
    Although If Iran did manufacture nuclear warheads they would pose no immediate threat to the U.S. They would have to develop ICBM's and that is more difficult then the bomb itself.
    But yes, you're right, the U.S. has thousands, but until Trump no serious government official has threatened that destruction of another country since that cold war and even then, not in the same way. I would like the U.S. to have a lot less of those weapons.
