Given the Iranian people’s massive discontent with the Islamic regime, it may not be something that anyone will have to bear much longer.
“Iran’s Rouhani says Islamic Revolution ‘unbearable’ for US,” AFP, February 11, 2020:
Tehran (AFP) – Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani charged Tuesday that the United States finds it “unbearable” that the Islamic Revolution remains in place 41 years after bringing down US ally the shah.
“It is unbearable for the United States to accept the victory of a great nation and that a superpower has been driven out of this land,” Rouhani told a rally in Tehran marking the anniversary of the ouster of the shah and establishment of the Islamic republic in 1979.
“It is natural for them to have dreamt, for 41 years, of returning to this land, because they know that we are one of the most powerful countries” in the Middle East, he added.
Rouhani was speaking at a rally in Tehran’s Azadi Square marking the anniversary, at a time of heightened tensions with the United States….
“In the past two years, America has put so much pressure on our beloved people, on all of our trade, all of our exports, all of our imports, and all of the country’s needs, to exhaust the patience of our people,” said Rouhani.
But “the Americans did not understand the greatness of the Iranian people,” he said.
“The United States believes it is facing 41 years of civilisation. No, the Americans are facing thousands of years of Iranian civilisation.”
