Watch them go back to the "Sanctions are killing babies" meme that they used in Iraq. How long will it take? Any bets?

I thought the $145 BILLION CASH that 0bama gave them was going to right this wrong? The funds haven’t been shared with the people of Iran? What gives?

P.S. I WANT OUR MONEY BACK!

It is somewhat reminiscent of 1929-to-1932. Crash occurs...banks were in the middle with nothing much to hand out...even if you had thousands there the month before.

What’s been underway for a couple of years, and rapidly speeded up for the past two...businessmen taking their profits/monthly income, and transferring it into dollars or Euro. They then moved it to Qatar or Dubai....finding something of value (condo, gold in storage, or just a deposit box) and stashed it there to wait for the ‘crash’. If you go out today...banks don’t have any more dollars or Euro to swap. Private exchange people will still do it but for a 20-percent difference.

So a young guy comes up and wants to do a house purchase, and there’s only one single bank in the country now that conducts these. Their gimmick? You need to take your life savings and deposit it for a year into the bank (giving money for their game) before they arrange the house purchase.

Down at the regular-guy level....nothing is really working. The Mullahs and Ayatollahs simply lack any banking expertise to grasp this. In their mind, you’d just go and print more money, then hand that out.

My prediction is that the Revolutionary Guards have this one last hope that the EU or Europe will react, and just hand them ‘cash’. The EU did vote to arrange a loan. The problem is that it’s mostly all digital. What Iran wants is absolute cash (last talk about six weeks ago was 300-million Euro and some German bank would arrange for the cash....then fly it into Tehran). Nothing much has been said since then.

My gut feeling is that the 300-million Euro will arrive....get dispersed out in 72 hours, with people sending it off to Qatar or Dubai, and the regular guy on the street sees nothing. Within 3 months after the money arrives....there’s no mention of it, but Tehran will say it’s in need of more cash (kinda like a heroin-addict).

The EU will say ‘no’ the second time around, and somewhere around March to August of 2019....I think the Revolutionary Guard will stage a coup (either all of them or three of the services). The Mullahs/Ayatollahs will be told to stand to the side and just handle religion from that point on....not state matters.

By the end of 2019, some election will occur and the head of the coup will take off the uniform and play out the same act as Egypt has done for fifty years. Trump will offer to meet the guy (probably in Dubai or Qatar), and as spring arrives in 2020...Iran has a different US relationship. Just my humble opinion.

The man quoted in the article, is correct. An educated and sophisticated people did this to themselves. It’s going to take more than hundreds or thousands of people in the streets, it’s going. To take tens and hundreds of thousands turning against the regime. It’s going to be hard and it’s going to be bloody. Now the Turks have chosen the same course for themselves and someday the price is going to have to be paid there, too

Somehow or another, this is Donald Trump’s fault.

Last week, the Iranian rial plunged to a record low of less than 1,000 to the American dollar.

Ummmmm….currently 42,000 to the dollar.

Before you get to sympathetic to the plight of Iran, remember Iran is an Islamic Republic made up of 99% Muslims.

Granted many of these Muslims seem to be Heretics and want to live like us Kafirs .
I would like to leave them alone to settle out their differences, without interference from us, and only interact to better the situation for this country. - Tom

Iran would have fallen to the ‘student revolution’ 8 years ago, until Odumbass took over and tried to instill the muslim brotherhood all over during the “arab spring”

Sooner the better for the iranian people’s sake

This article has the wrong exchange rate. Last week the exchange rate was 43077 IR rials to the dollar. Today it is 43871.7 IR rials to the dollar. If you want to exchange dollars for rials bring a big bag.
