Untrustworthy
Iran
By
Roger Behra
Thanks to several dunderheaded leaders
who threw caution to the wind and placed their trust in Iran who received
limited relief the many sanctions that were hurting Iran because of their
refusal to stop their enrichment of nuclear bomb and weapons’ grade uranium,
Iran still remains a very strong threat to American interests in many parts of
the world. Thankfully, the limited sanctions relief only a six-month
moratorium. Iran is an untrustworthy Islamic Republic, and that means current
times are full of hurdles that need to be overcome.
Despite the nuclear accord, Iranian
activities continue to threaten the United States and its aliens, especially
Israel. The two untrustworthy leaders remain in power; Ali Khamanei and Hassan
Rouhandi. That is bad news for the limited sanctions promoters. It is
especially bad news for the U. S. and Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The latest reports reveals that Iran
has developed the Sejil-2 ballistic missile that can deliver a payload 1,500
miles and drones with a range of 1,250 miles. A recent report estimated that
Iranian missiles could reach the U. S. shores by 2015.
Iran is very sneaky also behind the
scenes. Iran has supplied weapons that have killed Americans. Iran bought rockets
and machine guns and then sold them elsewhere, and those weapons killed
American soldiers in 2007. Iran uses its influence to engage terrorist groups
to further own terrorist activities and desires. In 2011, the FBI helped to
uncover a plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabia ambassador to the U. S. and bomb
the Israeli embassy. Espionage in favor of Iran has been uncovered to kill
teachers at Jewish school; to kill people at the U. S. and Israeli embassies in
Baju: to seize assault rifles, grenades, and explosives. Iran supports
conflicts between Muslim groups. Iran backs terrorist groups that threaten Israel’s northern borders. Iran
supports the bloody Syrian regime. It is easily understood why Iran cannot ever
be trusted.
When ex-leader of Iran said that
“Israel and U. S. should be wiped off the face of the earth”, he was not whistling
in the wind. If Iran could harm Israel, they would in a heartbeat. In Iran,
there is an ingrained hatred towards Israel and U. S. because the U. S. is
committed to supporting and helping to defended Israel if they are attacked.
The limited sanctions relief given to Iran has had no effect. There has been no
lessoning in Iran’s oppositions to the existence of Israel. Another big concern
is the fact Iranian missiles could reach U. S. shores by 2015. That threat
cannot be allowed to become a reality. In the near future, if Israel concludes
that Iran’s missiles are a definitive threat and they need to be taken out, the
U. S. must stand behind Israel’s decision and give whatever help that is
necessary. Meanwhile, every move Iran makes has to be carefully watched. The
Islamic Republic (Iran) is beyond even one minute’s trust.
