I thought a lot of the issues with Iran had been put to bed with nuclear power/ weapons agreement with the Obama administration.

Yanks/some of the west have picked a side and it's not Iran. It'll be a while before they deviate from that.

Hostility to Iran stems from the neo cons in the US

Cos Israel and Saudi Arabia both don't like Iran. Both of them are Americas biggest partners in something to do with weapons and arms defense etc.

Media is constantly referring these days to an "Iran is bad" mantra. This is to desensitize people to the fact that Iran is more stable than most other countries in the region.

Goebbels himself would be proud to see how it is being done.

Dont get me wrong I love Usa, I will always stick up for them, but their middle east policy is just BS, and it all boils down to money.
Hmph freedom hmmm.

They didn't really have a choice due to sanction's as well as the Arab opec members increasing production to drive down oil prices.

He is a hypocritical idiot. Coming from the guy who just signed a 110bn dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia it beggers belief.

Mod: Closed as this is a bit too political for AH.

Currently, there is a thread discussing the terror attack on Iranian parliament in Politics Cafe here, while there is a discussion in the Trump thread in the Politics forum here. If you want to discuss the issue in one of these threads, please remember to read the respective charter
