This is what moderate, internationalist leadership in the Islamic Republic of Iran looks like. Iranian president Hassan Rouhanis supposedly moderate credentials led Barack Obama to attempt to elevate and legitimize him through direct personal contacts, but there is nothing moderate about any element of the Iranian regime. A half a million deaths later and with no end in sight, this moderate Iranian president continues to back up the blood-soaked Assad regime. It has used the unfrozen assets and access to new markets attributable to the Iran deal to increase its defense spending by 30 percent and augment its support for rogue elements in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen even as consumer-goods prices skyrocket and the public takes to the streets. This is the moderate regime that holds American sailors hostage and parades them on television in violation of the Geneva Conventions. This regime persecutes and jails journalists, disenfranchises Christians, and executes homosexuals. These acts, Rouhani said in 2014, are Gods commandments.

“Hof laid the blame for that all-consuming conflict (the expansion of the Syrian civil war into a regional crisis) (as well as a notable uptick in Russian aggression) at the feet of Barack Obamas nuclear deal with Iran.”
The biggest refugee crisis since WWII. Major cities (like Mosul) devastated. Nobel Peace Prize check cleared the bank...

Obama regarded Iran as potentially a more natural ally of the United States than Americas Sunni allies in Cairo, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh. Considering it is the Sunni, not the Shia, who have flown airplanes into buildings, bombed marathons and subways, shot up nightclubs, concerts and recruiting stations, Obama might be right for a change.

Khamenei may say there is no difference but actions speak louder than words. Body counts speak louder than words also. And 9-11, Boston, San Bernadino tell me that there is a greater danger than Iran. While we should not be allies with Iran either, we should take a hands off posture and let the nations of the Middle East balance each other. Eliminating Iran as a regional power removes the last local counterweight to Sunni extremism.

ValJar and her stooge had no interest in anything other than helping the mullahs achieve their objective of being the regional powerhouse. The so-called nuclear deal was never intended to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Quite the opposite, it was intended to legitimize the process.

“Iran is urbane, young, educated”
Looking at the Western youth, I translate that to: Iranians are brainwashed leftists, intolerant, foolish and evil.
