Does this seem like a remotely responsible government?


Quote
Iran will continue its struggle until the destruction of “enemies”, the United States and Israel, the commander of its extraterritorial Qods Force said Friday.

...

Ghaani repeated a recent refrain heard from other Iranian officials that Israel is in decline and said that “Hezbollah’s sons are making plans to bring down the last blow against the Zionist regime…and to realize the wish of Imam Khomeini to eradicate Israel from the map and the face of the Earth.”

But he also threatened the United States: “The enemies of [Iran’s] Islamic government, led by America and the Zionist regime should know that we will never stop self-sacrifice and will move forward on the path of resistance."

Quote
During the week, Islamic Jihad’s leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah held meetings with several senior Iranian officials in Tehran including Supreme Leader's adviser Ali Akbar Velayati, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and Kamal Kharrazi, the head of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, as well as President Ebrahim Raisi.

Quote
The Qods commander did not mince words in his speech threatening the US and Israel. “These two traitor and murderous regimes will receive a response in the shortest time for each crime they commit,” and added, “The Islamic Republic makes plans to respond to all crimes that America and the usurper Zionist regime commit and will give its decisive answer at the appropriate time.”

Article.

Forgive me for not wanting to lift sanctions on this regime quite yet.

The idea that the Islamic Republic of Iran is a “prospective ally” of the US is legitimately insane.

Iran aided in the Iraqi and Afghan invasions and was ready to recognize Israel until George Bush p!$$ed it all away.


Afghanistan yes, covertly.

But they will never recognize Israel.

What’s with this notion that Hezbollah is anything other than a malevolent sectarian presence in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq?

Didn’t realize that the IRGC Qods Force was the legitimate political representative of the Lebanese people.

Isn't it strange how between 1949 and 1967, when there was plenty of time to create an Arab state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, it never happened?

No pressure from Arab or Islamic organisations, no motions at the UN against Egypt and Jordan condemning them for "occupying Palestinian territory".

Funny old world, isn't it?

None of the Arab countries, nor Iran, have ever actually wanted an independent Palestinian state.

Ah, memories of the ultra-left press of yore.

Workers Hammer was maybe my all time favourite title.
Because mainstream media won’t report on actually bad news Wink
