Time For Iran To Join The Big Boys
This conflict is purely a political situation and in no way started by economics.I shall explain why below:
The History:
{refer to youtube video: "CONSEQUENCES OF ATTACKING IRAN"}
Iran was once the Persian empire. It is largely a Shia muslim population.Its people are largely independent minded hence it doesn't follow or incorporate the ideology of which western powers do as it persues its own indepent non-allied objectives regionally.Human development index an indicator of development is realtively high and has constantly increase from the 1980's onwards with health, education and levels of income inmporving but have taken a hit in recent years primarily due to economic sanctions and isolations.
Present
From a startegic point of view after its independence Iran's enemies were all of the middle east as it was a Shia country surrounded by Arab countries which of course were firendly to the United States who relations were severed. This resulted in the Iran Iraq war. Iran however tired to cool realtions with the US offering to fight the taliban in Afghanistan in the 90's and prior 2001, and even in Iraq offered which were rejected by the United States which labeled it part of the wider "axis of evil", even though its Shia population was strongly opposed to Al Queda the wahabbi terror network originating from the Arab regimes. Thus seeing the amassing of troops around its borders and the unfirendly rehetoric Iran in fear of further United States agression in the middle east indefinitely haulted its a Nuclear weapons program and started pursuing proxy groups for limited warfare . With the US attack on Iraq, Iran being the third largest crude supplier in the world influenced the once opressed shia population in Iraq and with the winning of proxy groups in Lebanon and a new found ally in Syria was now a regional power with influence across the entire middle east, which was seen as threat to the hegemonic influence of the following influencial parties as Isreal wasn't the only serious power in the middle east :
•The far-right Emergency Committee for Israel
•The House Majority Leader, Representative Eric Cantor (R-Virginia
•Senator John McCain (R-Arizona),
•The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC
•Richard N Perle
and the various elite in American and Israel.
Thus Iran's reigning power across the world's most important region of black gold was very alarming to the elite and it became a politcal debacle even though Iran showed no intentions of destabalizing pro western arab regimes or attacking its neighbours which it havent done for centuries.
Thus there was now a covert war to undermine Iran successes as the only Independent minded country in the region. As such warfare was waged against it economically which would afftect it politically and militarily ie the three trinities was being affected. Thus this lead to the protests since the country was now under constraints.
So how does this relate to the title?
1.Seeing Iran is independently minded and wants to pursue its own path of development for the benefit of its own people unlike the arabs it follows a similar path like Western Nations
2.Iran possess large energy reserves thus giving it resources to pursue its indepedent goals
3. Iran is an educated population especially in the field of science and technology. This area have seen siginificant development. Iran have demonstrated this in its ability to sustain its military with locally manufactured equipment and in civillian nuclear energy.
4. Iran is a non-aggressor and uses proxies like major powers do to get its job done
5. Iran have a system of government not a dictatorial regime. The population is allowed to vote and their views are represented. There are some differences to that of the western system , yes this is because its a different culture but it follows the same principle. In Iran lobbying comes from the guardian council , revolutionary guards etc, just like in America lobbying comes from corporate interest, notable zionist(don't take me as rasist....zionists are not Jews...Jews are good religious people).Its supreme leader is not different than the queen of england. So its a political system they follow.
6.Its a mature society. Iran is one of the oldest civillisations on earth. Therefore that said, its another reason, why Iran deserves to be treated with respect.
Thus from my point of view the only solution is a political solution where the global powers recognise the influence, maturity, and independece of Iran as it interest. Iran have no energy interest as western powers do, since it have provided it self with nuclear inaddtion to its oil and gas reverse so no western energy security is not challenged. However if Iran and the west have a mutual relationship, both would immensely benefit as there would be a renewed market for Iran and a more stable region for Iran .Israel and Iran is as a result of zionism vs islam. Iran and Israel have worked together for example on the Strikes against Iraqi nuclear facilities.Iran and Israel would have an immense amount of good to share from a relationship with each other due to mutual cooperation. But as mentioned, this is just hampered by world elitest influence in the politics of the region.
This is my first post on a discussion . I hope you folks like it.
