There is no way Iran is happy with Trump's economic sanctions and what happened to Soleimani ... Iran's strategic position is the worst it's been since the end of the Iran-Iraq War. They'll buckle sooner than later ... remember the Iranians are not nearly as faithful or brainwashed to their regime like the North Koreans.
I lived in Iran during the shah and worked in the defence sector (very small and primitive sector)..many highly educated Iranians who were streaming into Iran from every corner of the world would end up using their talents in easy quick money making schemes..why,..because this was lowest impedance route to being successful. The result was Iran would always BUY things from outside (lowest impedance route!). Life was great but no real industry ..no national pride on any thing (except locally manufactured shoes "Melli shoes" I recall).
Iran was in weaker position during Ahmadinejad...
I think that is increasingly the clear threat that is being made to the western regimes,tho whether this will be enough to get them to alter their behavior seems rather doubtful sadly.In real terms there is little the eurovassal regimes can do except to watch events unfold helplessly as they have neither the political will nor even the political or economic sovereignty necessary to influence anything anymore.Ultimately they`re probably silently praying that trump will be a one term chump and that there will be a small political window to try and salvage things,however even if this does happen rouhanis successor regime will almost certainly be extremely hardline and will have no reason whatsoever to continue supporting any of his deals or policies,quite the opposite in fact.
exactly.
Not born, re-born! I truly hope to be able to see that day.
That’s because you don’t know the mentality and pride of the middle easterners they are not like the Germans or the Serbs.
