Iran already has the well-deserved reputation of being a brutal country with genocidal plans and aggressive aspirations. Its goal of developing a nuclear bomb has been rapidly moving toward attainment. With the installation of the new president Ebrahim Raisi — a man behind mass murders and unspeakable brutality — Iran is clearly headed toward an escalation. Raisi has vowed to enact change “based on revolutionary tenets outlined by the supreme leader.”
“Iran’s Raisi taps minister wanted for role in Buenos Aires Jewish Center bombing,” Times of Israel, August 11, 2021:
Iran’s new president presented a cabinet dominated by hardliners on Wednesday, state TV reported, among them a foreign minister known for close ties to Hezbollah and an interior minister wanted by Interpol over his alleged role in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires.
The conservative cleric and former judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi nominated hardline career diplomat Hossein Amirabdollahian to the crucial post of foreign minister as Iran and the US seek to resuscitate Tehran’s landmark nuclear deal with world powers.
Amirabdollahian, 56, has served in a range of administrations over the decades. He was deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs under former populist hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, known in the West for his Holocaust denial and disputed reelection in 2009.
According to Reuters, Amirabdollahian is an avowed anti-Westerner believed to have close relations with the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon as well as Iran’s Revolutionary Guards force.
The parties to the nuclear accord have met in Vienna for months to try to revive the deal. The last round of talks ended in June with no date set for their resumption. Raisi has promised that his administration will focus on lifting sanctions that have clobbered Iran’s already ailing economy.
Raisi also appointed Gen. Ahmad Vahidi — a former defense minister blacklisted by the US in 2010 — as his interior minister. He was the head of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, its international operations arm, at the time of the bombing of the AMIA Jewish Center in Argentina’s capital. His name appeared on an Interpol “red notice” list regarding the attack on the AMIA building.
The 1994 AMIA (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association) bombing, carried out by a Lebanese suicide bomber who drove a car bomb at the multistory building, killed 85 people and wounded hundreds. The bomber was subsequently identified as Ibrahim Hussein Berro, an operative of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group, and he was allegedly assisted by other Hezbollah and Iranian operatives….

The voters who put their ‘X’ beside ‘Biden’ are complicit in the DISASTROUS situation in Iran and world which has developed since the DEMENTED, old fool took office and rapidly began to act as demented dictator.
The oligarchs of Big Tech, Big Money and the Diktokratic Party honchos are ALL to blame for the catastrophes. As long as I live, I will call them out and tell them repeatedly how much BLOOD they have on their hands.
The US is in fact the world’s police man because no other country can equal the noble ideology of freedom like the US has. The US is the house on a hill and it cannot shirk the responsibility no matter what isolationist voices are howling for it to do so.

Persia is a criminal nation, so of course it’s staffed by criminals. I wonder how Prez Joe will do with “renegotiating” the JCPOA agreement? Cynics say that Joe’s only a career criminal influence peddler yes man, but the bet here’s that he’s got it in him to get the JCPOA back in force. And why not? Doing that would harm America, and that’s what’s called for. A nuclear Iran is called for. The alternative, attacking Iran, is too awful to consider. He, or better put the soviet running him after the stolen election, have been able to hurt America in so many ways, so it makes sense to do it with Persia too.
Helps China, and the Big Guy is on the payroll to do just that. And many others are also beholden to the CCP to make personal income, from Pelosi to McConnell.

Oh No a criminal foreign minister in Iran. How could that be? An islamic terrorist from Iran? What a surprise from such a world leading country of love and peace. I know we need to send Iran a few billion dollars and they will become our lifetime friends. Joe can make that happen and Hunter will be glade to be the go between.
