That USA and the known lobby in USA wanted to cripple Iran more than six years back.We keep on reading about the Iranian economy shrinking and the rest but nothing seems to indicate the dire state that the article seems to be giving about Iran.How come Iran has managed to enter into various deals on gas export,barter deals with India and Pakistan,opening of various refineries and so forth.What part of the economy do you see shrinking?

Years ago, before the ayatollahs, when the world was a more pleasant place to live, I used to know some sane Iranians.
4. Their economy may be in crisis, but they continue, as the
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (08.03.13)
rest of the Islamist world does, to blame the Jews for their state, and promote the demise of the tiny nation-state of the Jewish people, including the "cleansing" of the Jewish people's ancestral homeland of its Jews. All means to achieve it are acceptable by them, including the nuclear-bombing of tiny Israel. And Mr. Obama continues with his stand of appeasement, despite his commitment to do otherwise...

There is nothing more reassuring than hope. We hope for a better year. We hope for a better life. We hope that Iran will stop trying to build nuclear weapons and the hope for many is that Hassan Rouhani will be the man to follow through on that idea. Much of that hope revolves around the perception of Rouhani based on his pleasant demeanor, initial chastisement of outgoing president Ahmadinejad and simply because he isn't Supreme Leader Khamenei. But all of that obscures some key facts. Namely that Rouhani has enjoyed a long career in the service of the regime in its military, intelligence and security arms. He has been the face of Iran's nuclear negotiating team and there has never been any sign of dissent over the past 30 years in his relationship with Khamenei and the policies of the Supreme Guardian Council and his fellow clerics. If you really want to get to know this man’s career, I would suggest you check out www.hassan-rouhani.info. The true indicators of a different future will come if Rouhani takes concrete steps towards moderation such as liberalizing internet access to social media, re-opening shuttered opposition newspapers, releasing political prisoners and halting public executions. Failure to do any of those things will only reinforce that we're in for another four years of Ahmadinejad...just with a nicer smile.
