  1. Prolly right thing to do, maybe the US administration will be to forgiving, based of my useless opinion.

  6. Talk of upside down world. Al-Qaeda ''leader'' has had sanctions removed.
    What next? Maybe ISIS ''leader'' will become president of USA?

  7. Nobody cares about US and NATO sanctions even North Korea is living peaceful and happily without democracy or American trades

  10. 🌐 The current regime of Iran has ballistics capabilities that travel at mach 17, impossible to intercept even by the latest American technologies. It has a target bank Inclusive of the entire Gulf States and Saudi Oil, Gas, Critical Infrastructures besides United States military bases reserved for the time they choose to deploy in addition to sabotage and cutting under water petroleum pipelines, internet cables and all the Internet servers in the region. IRGC has a fleet of small submarines capable of firing an array of cruise missiles, electronic Warfare, mines, and unmanned underwater assets when they choose to cause havoc on global trade route throughout the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. There is no way to have total defence against all these measures no matter how much military assets the Gulf States purchase.

    Currently as of 1 July whilst buying time at UN and EU, they've deployed mine launcher vessels across the Hormuz channel and entrance to the Oman Sea, cracking down on dissidents inside Iran and concealing missile launchers in Yemen targeting Saudi Arabian Oil and Gas infrastructure. In the background, negotiating purchase of nuclear warheads from Pakistani counterparts.
