Donald "We Will Totally Destroy You" Trump just bombed even bigger-time than Bibi.

Jim W. Dean - This was a vague threat by Khamenei, but politically he is domestically required to stand up to bully America as the Iranian people are so tire of being treated like a colony. Iranians are nothing if not a proud people.

Jim W. Dean - This was good but expected news from Astana, where all three guarantors are aboard the deconfliction arrangement not only by agreeing to it, but also manning checkpoints to layout and enforce the borders between the designated jihadis and "opposition" groups.

Israel obviously is scared to death to flesh out a political attack on Russia, therefore they have asked the United States to do the dirty work.

Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Army Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said plots hatched in recent years by the intelligence services of Israel, the US and Britain against the Islamic Republic have been financed by Saudi Arabia.

As Washington continues increasing its sanctions pressure on different countries of the world, one is led to believe that the authors of the strategy of sanctions have a vague idea about the ultimate goal of their policy. Why does the US impose complex restrictions on the work of its companies and banks with a number of major global partners?

Paul R. Pillar even describes Trump like a zombie. Trump has obviously been drinking the Israeli wine, which literally clouds his moral and political judgment as a human being.

It was a Mossad agent who said that Netanyahu is full of “shit.”

Peaceful, tolerant and socially oriented Islam was seen as a tremendous threat, at least in London, Washington, and Paris. It had to be stopped, even destroyed - resolutely and by all available means. Only the pre-approved Wahhabism, which was collaborative with the West and from the onset at least partially 'co-produced' by the British Empire, was singled-out and allowed to 'bloom and succeed'.

Saudi Arabia’s strategy in the Middle East has for years focused on throwing money at majority Sunni states and groups in the region to counter Iranian influence. But its fiscal constraints started to limit its ability to project power even in the Arabian Peninsula.

Jim W. Dean - A major realignment is taking place in the Mideast, and no one can really know how it will turn out. What we do know is that the US Coalition proxy-terror war has boomeranged.

Jim W. Dean - The hidden story in Iran's careful response to new US sanctions was its stepping out front and center with charging the US with supporting state-sponsored terrorism, something long overdue.

The mass hysteria regarding Iran has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with extreme lobbying of the US Congress and Senate by the Saudi and Israeli organized lobbying groups.

TEHRAN – In a high-profile ceremony on Saturday, Hassan Rouhani was inaugurated as the 7th president of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Brian Becker, host of Loud & Clear on Sputnik Radio, interviewed a Tehran professor of American Studies to get an Iranian take on the latest diplomatic spat between Iran and the Washington.

Jim W. Dean - I fear a divide and conquer game being done on Iraq, by Iraqis themselves, as they fight over the reconstruction budget graft, because political campaign funding comes from this only available source of funds for it.

Iran is holding up its end. The US isn't. Instead, Uncle Sam is switching his rationale for sanctions from "nuclear issues" to "rockets."

 The situation in the Persian Gulf is on the pressing issues in the already tense relations between the United States and Iran.

Jim W. Dean - The seeds for this assault on the Iran nuclear deal were planted in Saudi Arabia, and harvested when Trump came and got his big weapons deal, much of it pie in the sky which the Saudis can dial back when they choose.

Jim W. Dean - Multiple sanctions on multiple countries should never be lumped into one bill like this. With Russia in it alone, Trump might have sustained a veto; and the ambushers and Russophobes knew this.

Jim W. Dean -Tillerson understands that America cannot conduct a foreign policy where whatever it says or signs can never be trusted. But Trump views that as just another day at the office, a form of having "out negotiated" his opponents, and even allies.

Jim W. Dean - We salute the Saudi counter-Intel people and police for nipping this attack in the bud with minimal damage versus what would have happened if it had proceeded against pilgrims or the Grand Mosque.

All the ISIS people who were celebrating the big dual terror attacks on Iran just got introduced to the new arithmetic, that Iran can reach out and touch them, and knows where they are.

Netanyahu has to frame his political worldview in the context of Zionism. In order to do that, he has to assert implicitly that Iran is dangerous to the “Jewish state” and much of the world.
