Almost 64 years. Iran knows about British-American pressure for the past 64 years, when 64 years ago West embargoed and sanctioned Iran for having chosen democracy. Iran has outmaneuvered all American counter-pressures and have come out stronger. Pressure must be kept on US, till America...

That's true. But from Iran's perspective, it won't matter much. It is the puppets whose lives depend on who will become the president and how he/she will treat them. But Iran should not just sit on its arrse. Iran should start a diplomatic initiative and send diplomatic missions to all over the...

Train to Tehran winds along Silk Road into West Asia Analysts say that flagging of the train to Tehran signals Iran’s participation in the China-initiated Belt and Road connectivity initiative China on Thursday demonstrated the integration of West Asia in its New Silk Road connectivity...

Congrats. There is no doubt in my mind that if Japan wanted, they can build the best. Including stealth fighters. Absolutely no doubt. If they have not done already it is because, it is not their top priority.

Very interesting. So much is at stake for United States both internally and externally. Though I am not much impressed by the quality of candidates. They are almost on par with a third world country. No vision and no logic. But the greatness of a nation is seldom due to its politicians and...

It is all a matter of perspective. And I was talking from Iran's perspective. The Clinton who comes out and says, the nuclear deal is just a one off event, and US will continue its policy of containment of Iran using its allies (read puppets) despite having lived through thick of it and seeing...

I also have to add this. Nixon was one of the most virulent, uncompromising and a war monger anti-communist politicians in US. But he also was a realist and a maverick. Trump might be a bigot but he seems at least on the surface to be a maverick. If I had to rank the chances of a Iran-US...

I agree. Then let's build on that.

To each its own, I vehemently agree. And this is what United States has yet to learn: To each its own. As for theocracy, I do not see religion plays any less role in United States than anywhere else. Examples are many both in internal politics of United States and in its foreign relations. So...

Not at all. In Iran, when the supreme leader sets down a strategy, every one and every thing falls in line. This is unlike United States, where the lobbies and factions can not get their act together even in matters of foreign policy. As for the middle east region, as the article says, they are...

Exactly. But Iran is actually ready to do that and has been ready for a couple of decades now. The impediment seems to be the internal dynamics inside US. Iran much like the China of 1970's is ready to put past behind it and move towards a prosperous future as long as its independence and...

Let's hope so. Though personally I do not see Obama going further than the nuclear deal. This is something that the next president of United States has to do. Some one who can pull g's for this. It won't be easy, since there will be alot of resistance inside US with regard to such rapprochement...

That is exactly what Nixon did with regard to China, he did not set out to love China but to work with China. He was a realist who could separate rhetoric from logic and he was brave enough to swim against the prevalent establishment of United States, bringing about a strategic shift in US...

I think for a young person it is very important to try his/her hand in many different things, in order to discover himself/herself and what he/she is inherently good at. Writing should be one of those things. Who knows where life takes you. By not trying anything, a life would go wasted. Who...

No. This has just opened up an opportunity to move in that direction. A rapprochement with Iran has not yet occurred. For that United States must accept Iran as a legitimate and independent power pole in the world and stop antagonizing it. The differences will of course remain, but as Nixon had...

I welcome that. After all, this is the whole purpose of it! You put your ideas down and let others decide.

Thank you. It is imperative for United States to accept Iran as a legitimate and independent power center. Without this acceptance, an enduring peace is not possible.

Supreme leader's role is exactly the same as was Chairman Mao's role. He gives the general strategic direction and has the same ideological role in Iran as Chairman Mao had in China. With the difference that, Iran's supreme leader is abit constraint in his exercise of his powers because of...

Well, realistically Iran will either develop it all by itself since Iran is not a poor country and is not like Iran is begging for 100 million dollars from India. Or the Chinese will come in and do it. What people don't realize is that the current government of Iran is a one agenda government...

You indeed have a valid medical point there, which historians should take note of in their analysis of Saudi and Jordanian history.
