Iran has been chanting "Death to America" since the 1970s.

Obviously they're a country you want to build relations with or something.

"Iranian leaders declared Wednesday a national holiday to mark the 1979 seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and called on their people to take to the streets and make 'America tremble in fear.'

Tehran Radio, monitored in Nicosia on Tuesday, dubbed Nov. 4 Death to America Day."

Okay, so back on March 1, 2010, Jafar Panahi, an Iranian director who supported the opposition leader Mir-Hossein Mousavi, was arrested by the Iranian government with his wife, daughter and 15 dinner guests, with all his belongings seized.
Panahi was somebody who had provided films to the Cannes Film Festival a few times, and because he supported Mir-Hossein, he was known as an anti-Iran Government filmmaker. So he was arrested for that.
Many people in Hollywood fought for his release, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Oliver Stone, the Coen brothers and Michael Moore.

Moore signed a petition to release Panahi.

In case you're wondering about the media siding with tyrants and whatever, let's remind ourselves of how CNN treated North Korea.

"Qassem Suleimani, Iran's spy commander, introduced to a new generation"

Dan Lamothe, The Washington Post, March 5, 2015

Note this quote:

"He's also been designated a terrorist by the United States on more than one occasion"

washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoin…
"The Shadow Commander"

Dexter Filkins, The New Yorker, September 23, 2013

After #JCPOA in 2015,#Iran terrorist regime spent 150billion$ on corruption,theft,arming #IRGC #MOIS plain cloths 2 suppress Iranian ppl's demonstrations, arrest&murder protesters,develop its Ballistic-missiles,arm its terrorist forces&proxies 2 wage war against the region, EU&US
It would be too naive of EU3 leaders to trust Rouhani, Zarif & Khamenei ruling #Iran.
Why would you wait for an outlaw regime to take the 4th step in its continues lies, cheating and breaching of International law?
gov.uk/government/new…
To continue appeasing the terrorist #Iran regime is an strategic mistake for the world vital interest. EU3 must impose sanctions on Iran regime & pull out of so called #JCPOA NOW

Today 18 year's ago Ahmed Shah Massoud was killed by an al-Qa'ida hit team (which included two suicide bombers who lived a extended period of time in Europe/🇧🇪)
In its effects, this assassination was probably the most significant terror attack ever with reference 2 Belgium (@GuyVanVlierden) and I think the Belgium cluster cell behind the two suicide bombers R a nice example 2 demonstrate similarities and differences of extremism then&now
In face of peace deals or no peace deals with the Taliban, it's also worthwhile to re-read this: rferl.org/a/ahmad_shah_m…
