Watch Where Your Money Goes in Iran, Exiles Say to US

the word Iranian exiles say no to US nuclear deal with Iran

“Don’t” is the word Iranian exiles have for US businesses looking to open their doors in Iran.
To a person, they are warning that doing business with the theocratic regime of Iran’s Khamenei was fraught with risk.
“Americans who develop a business in Iran will find that not a penny they pay in fees to the government will go to help the poor, the 70 percent-plus of Iranians in their teens and 20s who are unemployed, or the teachers who haven’t been paid in six months,” said Allen Tasslimi, New Jersey venture capitalist and president of the Association of Iranian-Americans of New Jersey, whose younger brother was executed by the clerical regime in the 1980s.
Tasslimi predicted that money paid to the Tehran regime by U.S. businesses for opportunities in Iran “would go to [Iran’s] Quds Force,” its brutal branch blamed for spreading terror throughout the region.
The Quds are headed by the notorious Gen. Ghasem Soleimani, branded “a cold-blooded killer” by Sen. John McCain for overseeing the manufacture of armor-piercing bullets that have killed more than 500 U.S. Marines.
Tasslimi, along with other exiles, strongly believes that an enhanced Iranian elite military unit “will provide even greater assistance to the terrorist clients that Khamenei and the regime already service: Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis who have toppled the government of Yemen, and Assad’s murderous regime, which has forced tens of thousands to flee to Europe.”
The shot at American companies was loudly voiced on Saturday by Iranians among the more than 200 guests attending the 50th anniversary celebration Saturday of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) — known formerly as MEK and the largest Iranian opposition group — in Washington, D.C.
Now that President Obama’s controversial Iran deal is sure to clear Congress, many businesses are poised to open operations in the country long off limits to them after sanctions are lifted.
A voice from the past is driving their pleas. A book written before the U.S. was at war with Germany admonishing American entrepreneurs might be read as a cautionary tale.more

To balance the nuclear deal, defeat Isis and confront Iran

 

In the next couple of months, the US Congress will debate whether the Iranian nuclear deal is likely to work 

  as arms control. But the bigger debate is whether the agreement, with its relaxation of sanctions, means America is halfhearted — at most — in confronting Iranian sponsorship of so much of the violent chaos that is spreading across the Middle East. That is why the US should choose this moment to develop a serious, full-bodied strategy to defeat the barbaric Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis) in Syria as well as Iraq.
This strategy confronts Iranian ambitions in both places and would therefore be the ideal companion to diplomacy that stops an Iranian nuclear threat. Such an exertion of US power to build a powerful coalition would reassure many in Washington and around the world who are ambivalent about the deal. It would also be the right move to protect America and its allies.
The terrorist danger Isis presents is rising towards the level that al-Qaeda presented in the years immediately before the 9/11 attacks on the US. Leaders should ask themselves: if Isis carries out a truly catastrophic attack, in the region or in America, what would they wish they had done before that day? Those post-catastrophe plans must be prepared now, before such an event. Surely no one thinks the current level of effort really is all America could or would do.
As executive director of the 9/11 Commission, I saw that cycle of horror, recrimination and reaction close up. I remember all too well what people wished they had done in the preceding years. There were political and military options short of an invasion and indefinite occupation of Afghanistan but they were deemed too risky. So, having refused to take limited risks to prevent a catastrophe, Americans have paid and are still paying a far heavier price.
A powerful coalition to defeat Isis must lead with a new political strategy before the military one. And that means confronting Iranian ambitions.more

Tehran continues meddling in Arab countries And Obama ignores

As the Islamic Republic of 

Ayatollahs nears a landmark nuclear agreement with the U.S. and other world powers, the Middle East’s future depends on which force emerges as the main player in the region.

Some of Iran’s neighbors are concerned if the financial windfall from the lifting of sanctions enable the pro-terrorism hard-liners in Iran step up the export of Iran’s Islamic extremism throughout the region.

Hasan Rouhani and his Foreign Minister Javad Zarif have invested much political capital to bring their regime to the cusp of a nuclear deal.

 “The nuclear issue would be the first step for testing whether the engagement policy is successful. If the U.S. continues the policy of engagement rather than confrontation, you would find Iran much more flexible and much more ready to cooperate on regional issues,” said the head of the foreign relations committee at Iran’s National Security Council until 2005.

Iran’s involvement in regional conflicts led by the Revolutionary Guards and other hard-line elements of the regime, From Syria and Iraq to Yemen has been expanded.

Many of Iran’s Arab neighbors, along with their European allies such as France, are concerned these elements will be further energized by a completed nuclear deal, which is expected to unfreeze Iran’s access to as much as $150 billion in overseas assets.

Hoping the nuclear agreement will curtail Iran’s forays abroad is as naive as arguing in 2013 that the deal to remove chemical weapons from Syria would ease the brutality of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, said Jean-Pierre Filiu, a professor of Middle East studies at Sciences Po university in Paris and a former diplomatic adviser to the French prime minister.

“What I see is, since the preliminary deal [in April], things have become worse in Syria, worse in Yemen, and worse in Iraq,” he said.

President Barack Obama, who also has staked much political capital on the nuclear talks, told the Saudi-owned Asharq al-Awsat newspaper earlier this month that he couldn’t predict Iran’s internal dynamics.

Mr. Obama added, however, that “it is possible that if we can successfully address the nuclear question and Iran begins to receive relief from some nuclear sanctions, it could lead to more investments in the Iranian economy and more opportunity for the Iranian people, which could strengthen the hands of more moderate leaders in Iran.”?

Maybe the US actual president supposes that he can insult Iranian people's intelligence by using such phrases.

 While many Iranians desire profound change at home, a remarkable segment of those with that ambition remain suppressed since the crackdown on the 2009 “public revolt” put many dissidents in jail or forced them into exile.

Today, many influential Iranian voices such as the MEK, Mojahedin Khalg who have been suppressed by the clerical regime of Tehran for more than four decades, still work to overthrow the Ayatollahs.  The majority of the Iranian people want the regime to be to replaced and they should be replaced by democratic regime as Maryam Rajavi has declared in her ten points announcement in the grand gathering of the Iranian dissidents in Paris.

The Iranian opposition group who is led by Maryam Rajavi and with its political branch in Paris in the name of National council of resistance is the best solution who can overthrow the Ayatollah's regime in Iran. The decisive storm led by Saudi Arabia is the unique solution to kike out Iran's Arab terrorist militias in the Gulf countries. Finally, time to cut off the head of serpent in Teheran.

Obama helps Iran to obtain the Bomb

May 19, 2015

The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, ratified by US congress, is now on its way to the White House for a reluctant signature by President Obama. The overwhelming votes in both chambers, left no room for president to oppose Congress’s constitutional role in reviewing any nuclear deal with Iran and the lifting of any Congressional imposed sanctions. Now the hardest part begins.

Obama must either negotiate an agreement that will permanently prevent the untrustworthy Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear weapons— or keep up with his current idiotic policy of appeasement.
