The man with the "AI" generated photo changed his tie colour in the image to match Reform branding. The question still remains about Reform having a bunch of fake candidates.

When it comes to Iran, Striker's articles are not as good as his other ones. This one especially. Over simplified and not good work. Very simple reason: he doesn't speak Arabic or Farsi and relies on extremely j3wed sites like RFEL or the Israel funded 'Iran International' for quick research from google.

Some key points I'd like to raise.

1. Azeris and Kurds are over-whelmingly Shia in Iran and totally integrated within the social, political and military systems in Iran. The safavid dynasty was for example mix Kurdish & Azeri. Iran's current supreme leader is half-Azeri.

Nor do they boycott elections en mass. Indeed, the reason the voter turn-out was low relatively to other elections was simply because Pezeshkian was bound to win since the other guys weren't as good as him so people had a relaxed approach. It's not like Iran's elections are an artificially polarized dog and pony show in ZOG controlled countries.

Striker is copy pasting his view of the 'Kurdish issue' of Turkey into Iran. Bear in mind even the Kurds there are quite integrated. The current FM who was previously the Spy chief is Kurdish for example. I can go on and on in this regard but you guys get the point.

2. The guy Pezeshkian is not some deep state asset. He is who he is and has always been like this. He is also a war veteran by the way. Also, the JCPOA was good for Iran and should definitely be pursued. It gave Iran 10's of billions of dollars directly, with more 10's of billions indirectly. It isn't Rouhani's fault that some guy like Blompf removed it on behalf of Netanyahu who most certainly has blackmail on Blompf through Epstein.

3. Jalili lost because many convervatives don't think he was good enough and therefore voted Pezeshkian. Especially Qalibaf's camp.

You are conflating your opinion of how things should be with how things are. The hijab riots for example were largely driven by Kurdish minorities, I have seen Iranian sources refer to them as the Kurdish BLM. Activists in Azeri regions do cause problems by organizing election boycotts. As Turks, they are seen by some (including Erdogan!) as a potential fifth column and Azerbaijan is one of the most pro Israel countries in the Muslim world.

Obviously the nuclear deal was good for the Iranian economy. The problem is America wants to destroy Iran. Pezeshkian's campaign promises were always unrealistic, so either he was saying what people like you want to hear (get American investment while still fighting Israel) to get your vote or he is naive.

The Iranian deep state is the Guardian Council, by the way. I also used US and Israeli appraisals of Iran's new president to show how the West viees him as business as usual.

Those riots were indeed driven by some Kurdish groups, however most Kurds don't support them. Shia or Sunni kurds. These rats exist in remote locations of Iraq's Kurdistan and have been decisivley displaced in 2023 by the Iraqi federal government. They are marxist left-overs of a bygone era. These groups are more as anarchists and not rioters. Don't know which sources you are referring to. Actual Iranian intelligence assessments or telegram warriors who always tend to over-simplify stuff. I'm not saying saying these random super small groups don't exist, but let's not over-blow their significance. Erdogan on the other hand is an old bloviating retard who has a fake degree in economics and his imaginary opinions don't matter. They only reason he is still in power is because the vast majority of turks don't like the LGBT supporting parties that oppose him.

So don't worry, the JCPOA will definitely be hopefully revived. And Netanyahu and the satanic zionist entity will be thrown in the dustbin of history just like all other artificial entitities like Daesh, USSR etc were. The retarded Israeli population itself will make sure of it even more than the AoR. Even is Pezeshkian's approach to the USA doesn't bear fruits, Iran must certainly deepen it's ties with central and western European states like Germany, Austria etc.

There is no way to restore ties to America and Western Europe while being against Israel. Pure delusion.

Iran want's sanctions removed from America. Not relations with them. When those sanctions were removed economic ties with Western Europe were booming. That's a proven fact. Worth pursuing by Pezeshkian alongside expanding ties with Russia, China the rest of the world.

I see the economic benefits but giving up nuclear weapons development is a serious security risk for Iran. Or are you arguing that iran could somehow develop nuclear weapons and get rid of sanctions at the same time?

Iran already has tactical nukes...

Bear in mind the Israelis feared to attack Iran even way back in 2011. The USA didn't help them either then, nor will it now when Iran is waaaay more stronger on all fronts.

It's already game over for the zionist entity in the larger scheme of things.

The 3 million Gazans, 3 million Muslims in the west bank and the 3 million Israeli arabs alongside the growing 'religious' jewish (read: inbred morons) will make sure the zionist entity will erode and collapse as we know it.

Global zionist has it's tentacles all over the globe, but the main artery runs through the zionist entity. This artery will soon get cut, and the homosexuals of tel-aviv and the pedo chabadniks of Jerusalem will make sure this is done. Not Iran's nukes or it's other capabilities.

Khamenei said after the nuclear deal in 2015 that Israel will not survive the next 25 years. I believe Him...

That's a hopeful take on Pezeshkian. I was a bit concerned about Iran softening its stance on Israel and wavering in its support of the resistance axis under a pro-Western president, though I do understand there is a limited extent to which that can happen as long as Khamenei is around.
