There is no negotiating with the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is immovable in its Islamic religious zealotry. The chants “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” are not just slogans or expressions of empty braggadocio. Khamenei said in 2023: ““The situation between America and Iran is this: When you chant ‘Death to America!’ it is not just a slogan – it is a policy.”
In 2018, Iran violated the Obama nuclear deal, and did so again by its own admission in 2020.
“Khamenei endorses ‘Death to America’ chants ahead of nuclear talks,” Jerusalem Post, May 10, 2025:
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday endorsed chants of “Death to America” during a speech to workers in Tehran, just one day before Iranian negotiators are set to resume a fourth round of nuclear talks with the United States, Iran International reported.
Last week, US President Donald Trump said he was seeking “total dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear program, while remaining open to Iran operating a civilian energy program. Two days later, Russia’s Foreign Ministry asserted that Iran—and other non‑nuclear‑weapon states—have a legitimate right to develop civil nuclear energy.
Israeli officials have cautioned that any agreement must fully dismantle Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities or risk repeating the perceived shortcomings of the 2015 nuclear deal.
During his address on Saturday, Khamenei praised the crowd’s support of the anti‑American slogan. “Your judgment is right,” he told the workers after they chanted “Death to America.” He added, “Americans fully support Israel — in the true sense of the word.
In the world of politics, things may be said that suggest otherwise, but that is not the reality,” according to Iran International. Framing Israel’s campaign in Gaza as part of a broader Western war effort, he asserted, “The people of Gaza are not facing Israel alone — they are facing America and Britain.”…

Are you not ashamed of your betrayal of Syria? It’s very sad to have Russia and Iran as allies.

Jimmy Carter destabilized Iran and helped overthrow the Shah, resulting in the Islamic Revolution and the loss of one of the most important allies of the US in the Middle East.
In 2016, the BBC published a report that exposed the Carter admin’s extensive contact with Khomeini prior to 1979. According to the report, Khomeini went to great lengths to convince the US not to jeopardize his plan to rule Iran: “It is advisable that you recommend to the army not to follow [Shah’s prime minister Shapour] Bakhtiar,” Khomeini said in one message, according to the BBC. “You will see we are not in any particular animosity with the Americans,” said Khomeini in another message, pledging his Islamic Republic will be “a humanitarian one, which will benefit the cause of peace and tranquillity for all mankind”.
In another message sent via a US emissary, Khomeini assured the Carter admin that their economic interests would not be impacted if he was granted power in Iran: “There should be no fear about oil. It is not true that we wouldn’t sell to the US.” According to the report, in turn, Carter helped Khomeini and made sure that the Imperial Iranian army would not launch a military coup. Khomeini returned to Tehran on February 1, 1979, just two weeks after Carter convinced the Shah to take a “vacation” and leave Iran. The Iranian military, which was under US influence, surrendered, and within months Khomenei was declared the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Regime was born.
The Persian Jewess is somewhat correct. The Carter administration failed to see that the Islamists who were opposing the Shah were a much bigger international problem than the admittedly oppressive regime of the Shah of Iran. Carter’s actions during that period in connection with Iran have had long term negative consequences not just for ordinary Iranians but for the entire world.

If it weren’t for the evil, corrupt Carter, Shapour Bakhtiar would have taken over the leadership of Iran.That way, Iran would now be a normal country, not something that threatens the entire world. It’s the same with Syria, democratic psychopaths brought these HTS lunatics to power in Syria, who will threaten the entire world.I hope the Uyghurs, who are an integral part of HTS, do something terrible enough in China that the Chinese wipe out all of Syria. You know what al Qaeda did in the US. If they had done that in China, believe me, Iraq would not be inhabited now.

The Persians should go back to Zoroastrianism. It won’t happen of course but, damn, what if it did?
Alkflaeda says
I agree that it could not be worse than Islam. However, there is some evidence that Iranians are rejecting Islam and turning to Christianity

Khamenei approves of and likes the chant “Death to America.” Therefore ,it should very clear and obvious that the very idea of having honest down do earth worthwhile “negotiations” with those America hating Muslims despots in power in Iran is unrealistic daydream as well as an absurd far-fetched fantasy on the part of the leaders of some Western governments.
Those despots of In so called dialogue with Those despots of Iran useless . For they only lies of willful deception for the Jihad to obtain nuclear weapons, this they call the use of Taqiyya.
Walter Sieruk says
If any US government official, takes a direct or Indirect talks with those fiendish ,dangerous disingenuous and outright liars who are those Islamic dictators of Iran .who are only stalling for time to further construct nuclear weapons, such “talks only lead to and in a disaster.
Furthermore, there’s an old Christian saying, which is “No dialogue with the Devil.” The statement of wisdom is based in the Bible book of Genesis, when Eve had talked with the Devil who spoke through the serpent. That dialogue ended in disaster.
The point is that in modern times, those Muslim despots of Iran may, rightly, to symbolic of the Devil.
Alkflaeda says
If, as I believe, Mohammed was a medium and not a prophet (the hadiths say that his supernatural visitant crushed his chest before he recited the Qur’an, which is typical of trance mediumship), then these leaders may be demonised or possessed, rather than symbolic of evil.
Christine Syntax says
Mohammed was a schizophrenic perverted psychopath who had an insatiable appetite for torture and death of many and having sex with young girls. I can’t understand how anyone continues to follow this evil monster. He isn’t a prophet who professed to be the last Messenger of God. He is an agent for Satan and evil.
Alkflaeda says
Of course Khameini and his ilk detest America – she occupies precisely that spot in the sun that the Qur’an promises to Islam. If Allah was God (he’s not), that would amount to the biggest usurpation in human history. The mullahs can’t look at the US without thinking “That could be the Greater Persian Empire aka The Caliphate”. What is odd is that they don’t seem to feel the same way about Russia – which had professed Christianity for much of its history, up to the Communist revolution, and, care of Mr. Putin, arguably does so again. It seems likely, however, that they view Russia as disposable – and in the meantime, she at least does not support Israel, which is total anathema to the Iranian regime.
