Sheldon Adelson has bought all these hacks in the Republican party. This is illegal by all international & UN standards. They can't blackmail their way to anything.
About Iran, The funny thing is Iran had a secular democratic progressive very good president in Mossadegh & there was no problem with the US when CIA with UK decided to overthrow him for no good reason, a democratic president who dared to nationalize Iran's oil reserves.
In comes Shah, a secular but brutal dictator who was insanely lavish & corrupt, banned protests, condemned opposition, jailed politicians, killed opposition leaders. And they you have Khommeini & the Iran revolution as a result to Shah.
Iran has some form of democracy (however messed up it is), women have some rights (even Women entrepreneurs) compared to Saudi Arabia. And the current President Hassan Rouhani is considered a moderate who was a diplomat, he has appointed women in foreign ministry positions, he is a centrist compared to Khommeini & the others.
People should be happy if guys like Rouhani take more control & Khommeini weakens which can only happen if you start to engage with Iran (doesn't mean you compromise)
