Iranians fear the future after Trump exits Iran nuclear deal
NBC "News" ^ | May 10, 2018 | by Ali Arouzi and Saphora Smith

TEHRAN, Iran - President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal has left a bitter taste in the mouths of many people here in the Islamic republic.

Many Iranians hoped the Obama-era pact would lead to prosperity and closer ties with the West.

But with the agreement now on the rocks, some Iranians feel double-crossed by America and say they are pessimistic about their country’s future.

Many Iranians feel they haven't seen the economic benefits of the nuclear deal. While it allowed Tehran to sell its crude oil and natural gas on the international market, Iran's economy remains weak with high unemployment and inflation.

Azita Moghadam, a 25-year-old student, described Trump as a "racist and dishonest person who doesn’t care about the people of Iran.”

She added: "Iran’s economy will take a hit by Trump’s decision. A poor sense of security and poor economy are my biggest fear for the future."

And while chants of "Death to America" are commonplace in Iran, most Iranians frequently interact with the West, even if only through online videos and illegally obtained movies.

Many also have family members abroad, with Los Angeles a popular destination for Iranian ex-pats.

“But with the agreement now on the rocks, some Iranians feel double-crossed by America and say they are pessimistic about their country’s future.” The PEOPLE don’t feel doublecrossed by the US, but by the Mullahs - especially the Ayatollah. All of the money that they got from the Obama deal was spent on Syria, The Houthis, Hezbollah, hamas and terrorism around the world. Their economy is in shambles, and yet the Mullahs are threatening all out war with Israel. There is a good chance that the government will fall..the NBC report is the opposite of what is happening in Iran. If Iran falls, so will the terrorists.

I didn’t bother to look, but is this in the “editorial” section of the website or is this part of their dedicated “news” section?

If this is considered news how can Big Media wonder why so many people absolutely hate their guts?

Of course not and Trump correctly explained why.

Evil NBC can ESAD!

the terrorist attacks that have caused carnage to noncombatant citizens have been radical Sunni, not Iranian or Shiite.

"This thesis postulates that the ideological motivations for establishing an Islamic state is the driving factor behind the trend that Sunni FTOs are transnational actors while Shi’a FTOs are state-sponsored actors. This theory was formulated through conducting a literature review of the current literature and developing a standardized set of questions. Analysis of the data collected by these questions revealed that this theory was the best interpretation for the collected data."

That’s why I think the Israelis are making a big mistake if they want to totally remove Assad and Iranian influence in Syria. Whatever malign actions coming from those elements is moderated by the fact that that there is a return address for retaliation, be it Damascus or Tehran. A Sunni radical force on Israel’s border will not be so easily deterred or moderated.

NBC “News” would have been very unhappy at some the tweets from young Iranians on my timeline. They were praising President Trump and thanking him for exiting the deal.

I have found that many young Iranians, especially the women, are Pro-Western and are beyond sick of living under the cruel dictatorship of the mad mullahs.

Funny how our esteemed “media” ignored those tweets.

Iran spends a giant chunk of its GDP making trouble abroad, including S America. Reach too far, fall off the step ladder.

If this fake news were true, I blame the iranian people for not kicking the crazed mullahs out. I blame their military for not killing them.

Yeah, over 80 MILLION people would have lived and twice that number wouldn't have been maimed, scarred or traumatized for the rest of their lives.

The patriots of Iran are celebrating Trumps opposition to the Mullahs. I maintain contacts in Tehran who are overjoyed that the US is finally taking a stand against the evil Mullahs. They do not want Islam to succeed. They want their country back, just like we want our country back. We have a common enemy.

The Iranian ‘students’ were rebelling before Obama took over. He helped put a stop to all that, because they wanted the opposite of what he wanted.

He wanted to install the Muzzie Brotherhood in the entire middle east (with the “arab spring”), and they wanted to kick them out of power.

With luck, Trump will encourage them to try again.

I am beginning to think that a pork-deficient diet is bad for your brain.

God made pigs too, after all.
