I'm sure the Ayatollahs are looking forward to the extra surveillance capabilities the Chinese will be bringing with them, a hardline islamic social credit system will be awful to live under.
Funny, I perceive Iran to more moderate than most. Certainly more moderate than Saudi and Qatar. Yet the USA always see them as enemy 1

They cause a fair bit of trouble with their neighbors especially Israel sponsoring terrorist groups . Unfortunately so do Saudi and Qatar .

So that's it I guess. They don't get on well with the Israelis, who are tight with the Yanks. Oh and they are buddy buddy with the Russians too aren't they? I imagine that's where they get their weaponry from

There’s a big difference between not getting on with someone and using terrorist groups to sponsor proxy wars in Lebanon and Gaza with Israel.
I’m not saying I see the us or Russia as blameless for the troubles in the region either btw .

Yeah, not trying to trivialize it. Syria is in the same boat then as far as Israel and the USA are concerned. You are right about the US and Russia, they and the other Western powers have been very active in creating instability in their pursuit to control the oil

How on earth do they do an article on a swimwear model being paid millions by a politician and not even include a picture of the lass? Journalism really is trash.
Google tells me that it was worth it.

Lots of hysteria Twitter about how Trump is starting WW3. But, who would actually side with Iran? Surely it'd be just USA/Allies vs Iran if war was to break out.
Given this guys history if he wasn't taken out he probably would have escalated things anyway. Sounds like a fucking psychopath.
