Obama's Retroactive Policy on Iran

Hillary Clinton in her recent visit to Persian Gulf countries warned the “international community” about Iranian nuclear activities. She accused Iran of turning into military dictatorship and said that Iranian officials refused “every offer” to meet and talk about nuclear issue. She talked about imposing more sanction to Iran as the US national security adviser Jim Jones had mentioned before. There are some points about what’s going on in US administration abut Iran as follow:
1. US secretary of state talks about “military dictatorship” in countries which there are no election, and do not have any democratic features. It shows the US double standard criteria in the region and the world.

2. The US officials are making the grave mistake now as they did 31 years ago about Shah Regime. At that time they considered Iran as the “stable island” in the region- as president Carter called Iran- but six month later the Islamic revolution occurred and the Shah Regime was overthrown. Now the US officials think that the Iranian government after some riots aftermath the presidential election in June 2009, has the same condition and is collapsing. They certainly have lack of understanding about Iranian internal affairs.

3. Iran always regards itself as a committed NPT member and it respects the international safeguards regimes about its nuclear facilities. The IAEA reports prove this claim. So calling Iran as “ destabilizing regime” in a region is preposterous and recalling us that the US and its allies wants to justify selling billion of dollars of weapons to the small Arab states of the region.

4. Clinton and her advisers forgot this fact that Iran never refuses negotiation about its nuclear issues. So it is not clear why Clinton repeated that claim again.

5. Clinton asked Saudis to help US for tougher sanction against Iran. This is exactly what destabilizes the region. Provoking the animosity among the states of Persian Gulf region is satanic policy of the United States to pursue its policies.

6. It seems that Obama is going to follow the failed policy of bush on Iran. He should understand that his team could not recognize the Iranian policies and realities, so his policy is a journey to an uncertain destination.
