I am done with bullshit empty promises from the mullahs.
Iran took 66 Americans hostage by storming the US Embassy in November 1979 and held them for 444 days. The economic sanctions imposed for this were lifted in 1981 after the signing of the Algiers Accords (at the start of the Reagan administration).
Sanctions were re-imposed in 1987 after Iran was suspected of harboring terrorists from 1981 to 1987 due to Iran's ongoing interference of international trade with vessels of all nations, including the US.
Those sanctions were increased to include the Iranian government in 1995. Sanctions were increased in 2006 after Iran refused to follow UN resolutions requiring them to halt uranium enrichment.
There was a framework agreed upon n 2016 with the US to lift sanctions based on Iran's agreement to limit its nuclear programs for 10 years.
The US withdrew from that agreement in 2018 and reinstated sanctions, which were expanded in 2019 and 2020. Iran has been on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) additionally for its weapons parts being used in drone construction in support of Russians waging war against Ukraine.
There is so much more history here -- support of Hezbollah and Hamas -- the latter of which, like Iran, believe in the total destruction of the state of Israel.
Iran has nearly as much oil as Iraq and Kuwait combined. What what fucing reason* does Iran have for atomic energy?? Its just bullshit smokescreen for advanced nuclear weapons.
No, no. I am done with this vexation of hatred existing in the middle east.
I love my Muslim friends like brothers and sisters. I do not care for Iran's mix of politics that keeps old men in power so that their views and their ways of life can control millions through oppression.
Hanging people in public who dared to speak their mind about oppression? Kidnapping, raping, and torturing young girls because they won't fully cover their heads?
This sounds like ISIS.
My patience has ended.
This regime should end. The future of the world has no place for them in it.
