In a report to the General Assembly today, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon cautioned that the growing sanctions against Iran are primarily hitting the nation’s civilians, driving up unemployment rates and leaving medicine in short supply for average Iranians.
Iran’s economy has been hit hard by banking and shipping sanctions in particular, as government-linked industries continue to find ways to circumvent the sanctions, but much of the Iranian private economy is on the brink of collapse.
Western officials have been cheering the recent collapse of the Iranian Rial as proof of the impact of the sanctions, and economists are warning that Iran is entering a period of hyper-inflation, leading to protests in the streets.
While the US and EU officials seem to be hoping that the economic crisis in Iran will force Ahmadinejad out of office. Yet the Iranian president, already politically weak because of years of disputes with Ayatollah Khamenei, seems set to be replaced by hardliners, and the economic crisis may only speed that shift.
Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, if you just discovered that sanctioning is hurtling Iranian people then you are late and again wrong about your political assessments, these sanctions also hurts the American and Europeans working man and women, day are losing their jobs by thousands everyday since these sanction started, so the Iranian people are the only one.
You need to talk to Barack Hussein Obama, the us state department and the eu neo liberal fascist to stop their political madness and start talking in serious terms with Iran and Syria, it seams that you don't understand the reality and what is at stake here, the third word war is what we are talking about, murdering innocent people by the us drones we are talking about, a distraction attitude by the west modernized version in fascist we are talking about ,Islamization of the world by an falsified democracy we are talking about here ,a growing militarization by us an NATO we are talking about here, where have you been thus far and what is your response….? Having said that, you really and seriously need to think about what is going on in this world, who to blame and what can be done by the power that you might have…, although what is happening in this world is part of your job, but it seams that you are late as usual with your comments, otherwise you need to change your job to something more comfortable comparing to what you do. To start with you can always ask the ICRC to start prosecuting George w. Bush, Madeleine Albright and their gang of Neo fascism-mafia whom started this new falsified democratic foreign policies conducted by the west.
After reading mojo, I don't need to comment!
All those sanctions are IMMORAL,wrong and cruel, imposed by the USI and followed by the Europuppets.
Or Mr Ban Ki-Moon you could start lobbying all the UN states to rid the UN security council of the VETO. the biggest anti democratic clause of the UN chaarter, five countries effectively rule the planet!
It isnt by accident that the five largest weapon producers are the permanent members with veto of the security council!
Many days and Rials too late.
