Why did we Iranian progressives who have long chafed at our own regime's oppression opposed Trump's exit from #IranDeal?
Hear it from this 2018 piece from legendary musician Kayhan Kalhor.
You might agree or disagree but at least listen to us.

I should add that there is no easy solution for #Iran; no certainty about how things would have turned out had Trump not quit the #IranDeal; no easy way to put the genie back in the bottle (although I support a return to #IranDeal, supported in paper now by both US and Iran)
Also the criminality and the obscene repression of the Iranian regime didn't change by #IranDeal, obviously. Ali Khamenei didn't stop being one of the worst criminals in power today anywhere in the world and he will never be.

Those of us who said snapback will not be a self-executing mechanism turned out to be right. We also need to focus on making sure Tehran is isolated. We must address a whole range of issues that the regime is causing.

U.S. recognize it’s not punishing the people. There are humanitarian exemptions. If the regime was really thinking about the people, they could take the money they’re spending on terrorism/missiles & take care of the people.

In one of his last messages referring to his struggle against the clerical regime, #NavidAfkari said that he is fighting against the most ruthless adversary in human history. #Iran
Yes, this is the most ruthless adversary in human history. And there is no doubt that it will be toppled as a result of the struggle and uprisings of the courageous youths and the great Army of Freedom. #StopExecutionsinIran

The arms embargo failed due to China & Russia, which has to do with the strategic accord between China & Iran. Russia supplies 21% of all arms sold in Mid-East. They have interests that the arms embargo is not extended.

The provisions that exist today aren’t enough to prevent Iran from reaching nuclear weapons. Iran has a tendency to cheat & hide the details of its program & slowly engage in activities that allow it to reach nuclear breakout capability.

2/5 This includes South-North corridor (#Chabahar-Central Asia), South-West corridor (Chabahar and Bandar Abbas-Turkey and Azerbaijan), and the Pakistan-Iran-Iraq-Syria “pilgrimage railroad”. Notable also: Iran's “active participation” in #BeltandRoad.
3/5 The most alarming aspect relates to cooperation in #telecommunication sector. It is going to provide Iran with know-how and equipment to enable its full decoupling from the global internet and form the dreaded National Information Network, similar to #ChinaGreatFirewall.
Seyed Sajjad Shahidian, the founder and CEO of Iranian financial services company Payment24, was arrested & extradited to the US from the UK & charged with violating US sanctions, identity theft, money laundering, and fraud conspiracy.
#Iran #IranSanctions

Also charged were Payment24 and another Iranian named Vahid Vali, who was the COO of Payment24. Vali is still at large, though.
The main reason that Payment24 was set up was to help Iranian citizens conduct illegal financial transactions with US businesses & they even charged a fee to get around US sanctions.

We will continue to work w/ Iraqi government on training mission, with NATO on more equitable participation and appropriately adjust our presence at the appropriate time.
No single mission take down the risk of terrorist ... in response to taking down Solemeonie...we will stay the course against terrorism.
Didn't Erdogan really go after Gulen because Gulen exposed the corruption/money-laundering, which, the HalkBank case corroborated? #IranSanctions

Anybody interested in #India's #Economy should take 30 minutes time out and listen to this interview. There is both sound, credible analysis of the problem AND an entirely logical policy prescription. #AltSarkar @PIB_Altsarkar @fek_le @Vidyut

A quick summary:
1. Our present problems can be traced back directly to the stupid, stupid move on Nov 8 2016 when 86% of the means of settlement of dues was taken out. Damn that #Demonetisation. We in #AltSarkar have to acknowledge it even if its defenders do not.

2. India's problem is a demand side problem. People have neither the free disposable cash now nor the confidence in their future to take a loan to go out and buy stuff.
3. You don't deal with a demand drop off by propping up supply side factors. #AltSarkar believes in logic

Since the collapse of the European empires, England, France, Germany, Spain & Portugal etc after the second world war due to their utter destruction, the empires started the to break up because the stress upon them is no longer bearable. Most overseas territories must be ceded.
The only standing power, with resources, military, and money is the U.S. Europe need to rebuild its infrastructure and institutions. So a meeting was convened at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire for a Monetary and Financial Conference. The U.S wanted to help Europe rebuild.
Today, Trump imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran. This is just months after he violated the Nuclear Deal, breaking the 2015 agreement by both the US and Iran committing both sides to diplomacy. #IranSanctions
Sanctions are a form of silent warfare, make no mistake about it.
Sanctions are a form of silent warfare, make no mistake about it.
These sanctions coincide with the 73rd anniversary of the US nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only time in history a military has used nuclear weapons to obliterate entire cities.
Apparently, the irony is lost on Trump that he is imposing sanctions on Iran and threatening to launch a war under the pretext of stopping Iran from getting nukes - on the exact anniversary of the day the US slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Japanese with nuclear bombs.
