damirUSBiH + 327 DD March 8, 2018 Just three day after official visiting of French foreign minister to Iran, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said how Tehran refused any dialog with West about Iranian presence in the region. In his hard message, Khameni wrote: "It is our region. Why are you here?". Obviously, with regime like this, no peace for Middle East. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel + 384 PP March 8, 2018 Good intentions without action is meaningless. You can't claim that you disagree with the atrocities being committed, while in the other hand you don't do anything to stop them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marina Schwarz + 1,576 March 9, 2018 Because everyone else in the region is so friendly and open to cooperation with Iran, starting with Saudi Arabia, right? It really is amazing what's wrong with these Iranians shunning the friendly hand offered them by Riyadh. After all, that's what the Saudis are doing in Yemen, isn't it? They are trying to hammer out a better future for the whole Middle East but the Iranians are getting in the way. What does "Iranian presence in the region" mean? It is geographically there, it can't up and go just because someone doesn't like the way it does things. What is France doing there, indeed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
