US House votes to bar sales of commercial aircraft to Iran

Reuters, Washington Friday, 18 November 2016
The US House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would block the sale of commercial aircraft to Iran, a bid to stop sales by Boeing and Airbus that have already been approved by President Barack Obama’s administration.

The bill passed the Republican-led House by 243-174 largely along party lines. Eight Democrats joined Republicans in favor. All 174 “no” votes were from Democrats.

The measure would bar US Treasury Department from issuing licenses that US banks would need to finance sales of commercial aircraft, the latest in a series of efforts by congressional Republicans to counteract the international nuclear deal between Iran, the United States and other world powers.

The deals by Airbus and Boeing to sell or lease over 200 jets to IranAir would help modernize and expand the country’s elderly fleet, held together by smuggled or improvised parts after years of sanctions.

Although Airbus is based in France, it must have the US Treasury Department’s approval for the sale because at least 10 percent of the aircraft’s components are American-made.

Some members of Congress have raised concerns that killing the sale could cost jobs. But opponents, particularly Republicans who unanimously opposed the nuclear agreement, argue that the passenger aircraft could be used for military purposes such as transporting fighters to battle US troops or allies in Syria.

The measure is unlikely to become law during the current Congress. It would need to pass the Senate, where it would face stiff opposition from Democrats.

And the White House said Obama would veto the measure even if it did pass the Senate. The administration believes the legislation would be a violation of the nuclear pact, in which Iran agreed to curtain its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

However, the climate for the nuclear pact could change once Republican President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20. Trump was harshly critical of the nuclear agreement during his campaign.

If Iran would only focus on its people and economy instead of middling in the Arab whom they share nothing with Iran. The Mullas have transformed Iran into a paralyzed country. The Mullas need to understand that no matter what they do they won't achieve anything in the ME. Do you think the Arab world gives a shit about Iran outside of the tiny minority shia of Iraq and Hizbollah?

The ‘power of lies’: Uncovering the Iranian regime’s policy

As far as the Iranian regime is concerned, deals are made to be broken, but not until its leaders have gained all of what they were seeking. The regime’s policy has always been to seek out weak leaders, either enemy states or those of its so-called allies, and to exploit them for whatever goal they wish to achieve.

In Shiite tradition, taqiyya – or concealment as it is in translation - can be used to deceive when dealing with an enemy, when threats are in the air. So with Khamenei feeling his back was to the wall with Iran’s economy being throttled by ever-increasing sanctions, it was goodbye to the snarling features of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and then in no time at all, a moderate Rowhani was wheeled out to deceive the world with his smiling face and pleasant demeanour, and his well-practiced use of taqiyya.

It was after the 2003 to 2005 nuclear negotiations with European states collapsed, Hassan Rowhani first proved how taqiyya could work successfully for political gain, when at a meeting of leading Islamic clerics, he had admitted to blatantly lying about Iran’s intention to suspend nuclear activity, lies of which later came to light in a video clip from an Iranian news program interview.

Using talks to woo the world into a false sense of security, a deceitfully charming Rowhani, who was at that time the chief Iranian negotiator at those talks, led the West to believe that Iran was serious about suspending all uranium enrichment and other nuclear activities, until a deal had been reached.

While in reality, Iranian nuclear boffins had in fact accelerated the program by installing new equipment in Isfahan, a nuclear facility where uranium ore is enriched, and also during this period of talks, a heavy water reactor at Arak was developed during 2004, which also flagrantly breached the 2003 agreement, and the only part of the nuclear program that was curtailed in any way was the suspension of 10 centrifuges at the Natanz enrichment facility.

Soothing overtures and smiling faces

During present negotiations over the Iran Deal, the Iranian regime has played the West well, and with the smiling face of Hassan Rowhani now in the seat of president, claiming to be a moderate, and making soothing overtures about seriously wanting to comply with the latest agreement to suspend his country’s nuclear program, he once again played Western leaders as the fools they are for embarking on such a farcical agreement.

With billions of dollars pouring into Tehran’s coffers for purportedly adhering to the Iran Deal, the clerical regime has been able to strengthen its army, through domestically building a succession of military hardware, which includes fighter jets, long range missiles capable of reaching Europe, a new submarine, four types of UAVs, a collection of transporter erector launchers (TELs) which accommodate Iranian Shahab-3 guided ballistic missiles, which are said to be capable of striking Israel from Iranian territory, and deemed able to overwhelm Israeli defence systems.

But on top of this, Iran has been conducting war games in the Straits of Hormuz, blasting the mock-up of a U.S. warship to smithereens, and has also unveiled its latest underground bunker full of medium and long range missiles, ready to be fired at U.S. bases or Gulf States should Iran be attacked, and on top of all of this, Iran has defied a United Nations Security Council resolution by testing missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.

All of this coming from a so-called moderate government, in a country where officials still encourage demonstrations on the streets, where protesters chant “death to America”, dissidents are still being hung in their droves, and threats still being made against the West by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders.

The strengthening of Shiite Iran comes at a time, when Sunni nations have been decimated through the deaths of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi, both having fallen through sustained Western bombing campaigns, and military intervention. But when you consider how Iran with its long history of seeking nuclear weapons, has never been bombed, while Iraq suffered shock and awe through false intelligence, which claimed he was close to developing one, and Muammar Qaddafi was taken down at a time when he was coming in from the cold, the whole episode smacks of the West wishing to keep the mullahs in power for some form of political advantage; possibly to replace the US as a policeman of the Middle East, now that a vast amount of their military has pulled out.

Then further strengthening the hand of the Iranian mullahs, Iraq has now fallen under its spell, a virtual proxy state of the despotic regime, when through having a very severely weakened armed forces, which had been completely dismantled by the United States after the fall of Saddam, and then rebuilt in a very sorry state, had collapsed under the advance of an ISIS invasion.

With the war against ISIS intensifying, the Iraqi government brought in Iranian-backed militia groups to aid the regular army, and it has been openly acknowledged by many of these militia volunteers, how they had been trained to despise all Sunnis, including the civilian population of whom they were supposed to protect, and feeling such animosity to their religious adversaries, they have no qualms when it comes to targeting them for kidnap or extrajudicial execution.

Then as the war vastly intensified, with ISIS seeming close to entering Baghdad, the US gave its approval for Iranian troops go in on the ground, and the Iranian mullahs dreams of domination came true, as they not only had a firm military presence in Iraq, but they were also able to integrate Shiite militiamen into the ranks of the Iraqi army, virtually turning the country into proxy state of Iran, all brought to fruition by the Iran Deal, and the power of lies.

Iran official calls for sterilization for ‘sex workers’

AFP, Tehran Sunday, 1 January 2017

Female sex workers and homeless drug addicts in Tehran should be “convinced” to undergo sterilization to prevent social problems, a deputy provincial governor in the Iranian capital said on Sunday.

“These women deal drugs, consume drugs and also work as sex workers,” Siavash Shahrivar told the ILNA news agency.

“Over 20 percent of them have AIDS and (they) spread various diseases,” he said.

“In addition to ... spreading depravity, they reproduce like hatching machines and as their children have no guardians, they sell them,” he added.

“There is a project, a reality, an opinion, agreed on by many NGOs and the social elite, that if a woman is sick, and is also a sex worker and has no place to stay, she should be sterilized with her own approval, and not forcefully”.

“The sterilization should be done through a project to convince homeless women to prevent social harm,” he added.

Last week, when images of homeless men and women sleeping in open graves outside Tehran shocked Iranian society, a cartoonist said on social media that the women must be sterilized because they give birth to children with “weak genes”.

The suggestion by Bozorgmehr Hosseinpour to “block the misery of poor humans who enter this world with many diseases, pain and addiction” outraged many people. Some said it reminded them of “Nazi cleansing” projects.

He later apologized and said the women should be given consultation for sterilization “with their own approval.”

The controversy quickly turned into a political football with conservative media accusing Shahindokht Molaverdi, vice president for women’s affairs, of advocating the sterilization of homeless women -- which she denies.

In April Molaverdi said the government “has not yet offered any specific plans for sterilization of homeless women” and such plans should be “proposed and reviewed by the Health Ministry”.

In recent years, there has been a growing crisis in Tehran where street children are born and sold by homeless or poor women living in and around the capital.

Thousands of such children are put to work as beggars or street vendors.

Last week the haunting images of dozens of homeless people living in empty graves in a town outside Tehran caused social media users and celebrities to react with expressions of alarm and sadness.

Oscar-winning Iranian director Asghar Farhadi aired his frustration in a letter to President Hassan Rouhani, in which he said he was “filled with shame and sorrow”.

The president responded to Farhadi’s “painful” letter on Wednesday.

“Who can see human beings hurt by social issues who take shelter in graves.... and not feel ashamed?” Rouhani said.

That what happens when finance terrorism and neglect your own people. The economy of Iran is going down the drain. The average Iranian today struggles to afford a loaf of bread while the mullas are pouring money to terrorists in the region.
