SIASAT-E ROUZ: The West, which always considered an alliance of Middle East countries as a threat to its expansionist policies, is trying to sow the seeds of discord between Iran and other regional countries. The West’s efforts are continuing, despite the fact that the Middle Eastern countries have emphasized on remaining united. The regional countries have decided to distance themselves from the West and form an alliance. Hence, the West is confronting such an alliance by supporting the Zionist regime of Israel. In fact, the West is encouraging the Zionist regime to establish ties with some Arab states by claiming that Israel has many things in common with those countries. This is why the Zionist regime is pretending that it has reached an agreement with the Arab countries against Iran. The main objectives pursued by the West are maintaining oil transit to Europe via Persian Gulf, sowing the seeds of discord between Sunnis and Shiites, as well as preventing Iran from gaining access to peaceful nuclear technology. The bottom line is that the West sees itself as powerless in preserving its presence in the Middle East and is doing its best to create differences between Iran and Arab states to maintain its status in the region. What is noteworthy is the fact that the western media are playing the most important role in creating differences between Shiite and Sunni Muslims. In fact, the US and its allies have launched a psychological campaign against the alliance in the Middle East.

AFTAB-E YAZD: One of the main slogans of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his election campaign and thereafter has been combating profiteering, the oil mafia and those who encroach upon the public treasury. The just distribution of national resources and services among the people also forms the main platform of the government. But very rarely has the president spoken against profiteering without an implied or direct reference to past administrations. Thus far, his speeches have referred to the past and created the impression that the president is resolved to return money to the treasury from those who have grabbed it. However, the president’s last speech had a fundamental difference with his past statements. In this speech, the president claimed that those who exploited the public treasury or illegally accumulated wealth are the cause of the recent economic pressures on the people. At present, the people expect their president to identify the corrupt elements in society with determination and transparency. Of course, priority rests with identifying those who have used their illegally accumulated wealth and injected that wealth into the economy, thus adding to the people’s sufferings. Under the circumstances, security organizations have a special duty. The president’s recent statements demonstrate that those who disrupt the economic equilibrium pursue a greater goal, namely that of making the people abandon their ideals which, of course, they would never abandon. The president must explain the economic and political root-causes of the recent price increases so that others do not resort to simplified explanations such as exports causing an increase in the prices of eggs, potatoes, meat, etc.

MARDOMSALARI: Persian Gulf has 66 percent of the world’s total oil reserves and 35 percent of the total gas reserves. Therefore, it is considered one of the most strategic regions of the world. Since it is at the crossroads of transit of Turkmenistan’s gas to other parts of the world, it makes it a more strategic region. Since Turkmenistan’s gas has to pass through Iran before reaching Persian Gulf, the West prefers the unsafe route of Afghanistan and then Pakistan over Iran. This is due to the fact that the West knows that if it relies on Iran’s route, anything that harms Iran’s security will also threaten the security of the gas line. Iran is a Persian Gulf littoral state that has the longest water border with the Persian Gulf. Iran can play a more significant role in establishing the Euro-Asia gas transit route due to its strategic location. Adopting feasible fuel diplomacy can help Iran gain access to indigenous nuclear technology that is a prerequisite for broad-based development. Unfortunately, the US is creating a great deal of problems for Iran and prevents the latter from achieving its fuel diplomacy objectives. Iranians need consensus today more than at any time before to nullify the threats posed by the US and its allies. Furthermore, the need of Asian countries such as India and China for natural gas has increased and can be a good pretext for adopting more practical fuel policies. Since India and Pakistan both have high energy needs and if they were to resolve their differences over the proposed gas pipeline from Iran to India via Pakistan, Iran’s energy supply can help them achieve understanding and stability.

Real democracy is based on respect for human dignity and self-determination, and can only be accomplished by the will of the people, not by brute force.
Lobbyists pushing Israeli projects encourage elected officials, policymakers and public opinion leaders to visit sites in occupied Palestinian territories to forge stronger bonds with Israel. These visits help forge an unforgettable bond with Israel and set the stage for losing the war in Iraq.
All Arab nations recognize the connection of the United States, AIPAC and Israel. The blind support for the Middle East No. 1 enemy Israel set the stage for a failure, no matter how many troops you send to Iraq.
Yes, the Iraqis wanted a democracy free of Saddam, but not replaced with a government handpicked by the United States, Israel and AIPAC for the interest of Israel and control of Iraqi resources.
67 resolutions against Israel, all attempts to control the aggression and land grabs are vetoed by the USA.
Israel has violated international laws, continues to do so and our officials will make no comment on the true causes of the problems in the Middle East. Not one will meet the press, or face the nation with the absolute truth of policy and aid. No Middle East country has been dealt with fairly by the USA.
Prioritizing Israeli interest is the cause for complete failure.
Who is to be blamed: our administration, Senate, and Congress? All need to be replaced. There is no winning until we face the facts of the corruption & crimes of Israeli organized crime, and the connection with our officials.
The powers of “Jewish supremacism“, the oligarchs and the Zionists want total supremacy over our nation. Their puppet George Bush, just as in the Iraq war, is happy to serve these masters on the American political landscape. It is not just leaders of AIPAC that are being investigated for spying. George Bush has surrendered his presidency completely to this foreign power and shames every real American who has pride in our country.
The biggest roadblock to the “New World Order“ and a sublimation of America and Europe to Jewish-supremacist globalism is Vladimir Putin.
The truth is that Putin in attempting to defend Russia from the power of Jewish supremacists is, in effect, defending all Americans, and all people everywhere who cherish their freedom and heritage. He is Russian rather than American, but his heritage is far closer to the American people and our interests than the Jewish supremacist misanthropists.
We call upon all of the American taxpayers to raise our voices on our airwaves and in the media and to support Jimmy Carter and other politicians who dare to speak out against this oppressive Israeli regime.
I also call on US lawmakers to stop signing on the bottom line for Israel. In every way possible, let’s hold Israel accountable by eliminating funding for Israel’s war against Palestine. These funds can be put to better use for building and helping people in places like Africa instead of committing them to the crushing destruction brought down upon the poor Palestinian people by Israel.
Anyone denying Israel’s 58 years of terror in the Middle East and their connection to all Middle East problems have their heads in the sand or are getting their pockets lined through graft and corruption.
