In his address to the UN General Assembly, Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani was deeply critical of US policy and sanctions, saying they
amounted to “merciless economic terrorism.”
Rouhani further said US officials “pride themselves” on sanctions, and
look to exploit them “in an addictive manner.” He said Iran will never
surrender to the aggression that the sanctions amount to.
He went on to say Iran is steadfastly against sanctions, and will not accept any proposal to hold negotiations under US pressure. He added that Iran remains committed to the nuclear deal.
And while Rouhani chiefly blamed the Trump Administration for moves
against the nuclear deal, he also was critical of Europe for failing to
follow through on promises to protect Iranian interests under the deal
with sanctions relief, cautioning that Iranian patience is limited.
Also this week, Russia and Iran agreed to deal with each other in their own currencies rather than the dollar, a prelude to the petroyuan becoming the world’s reserve currency. The rise of the New Silk Road initiative can’t come soon enough. It would put an end to the US bullying Iran with illegal sanctions and acting with impunity wherever it wants. We’ll have to go back to actually doing useful work to make wealth instead of letting the banksters rob everyone else blind with their money magic and currency manipulation.
Trump sounds like a babbling moron compared to Mr. Rouhani. Can we make a trade? We will throw in Pence, Pompeo and some draft choices.
“trump sounds like a babbling moron.”…..edited for simplicity….;^)
I didn’t want to piss off the cult that follows him. They know where I live. 🙂
wars, don’t be afraid, unlike antifa and the babbling radical leftist, I and many others believe in free expression of thought without answering it with violence. I would even have lunch with you in Greek Town, but first I would have to be allowed to sprinkle you with Holy Water!! 🙂
Are you commenting on my post?
Iran is correct, and Trump is looking very bad with his decision to appease BiBi and go after Iran. Iran is not going down without a full blown war, much to the dismay of Trump and POM-POM. Let us see how they will get out of this one………
Sanctions, by definition, are an act of terror.
The UN High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change “defined terrorism as any action intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organisation to do, or abstain from, any act.”

The EU is never going to help Iran. The colonial mindset is too deep. They just want to avoid blame for the upcoming war as a result of their involvement in Iraq.
Iran won when the following happened:
– Saudi Arabia was struck by Drones,
– Europe created INSTEX to buy Iranian oil
– China plans to invest 400 billion
-Russia plans to form an alliance with Iran and Turkey.
