The Algiers Accord 1975


Hoshiyar Zeibari the ex-terrorist and present Iraqi foreign minister, has questioned the "Algiers Accord of 1975" the very Accord for which 230 000 Iranians died, over half a million others injured, just to preserve and uphold it. As a reminder,"Saddam Hussein tore the Accord up in TV declared war on Iran in 1980, 5 years after signing it and after 8 years of war and bloodshed, accepted and recognized it again". Today, suddenly comes a sleazy "wannabe" politician, intoxicated by the US presence in Iraq, thus considering himself to be untouchable, that we have to renegotiate the Algiers Accord. Zeibari is also responsible for the raid on the Iranian consulate in Kurdistan/Iraq, he personally asked the US forces to arrest the 5 Iranian Diplomats that have been in US prison in the so called Green Zone of Baghdad for the last 2 years, the very people he had invited.

His recently acquired anti Iranian approach/attitude, comes from the fact that Iran has begun building a massive wall,(100 km long and 20m. high to start with..) along the demarcation line of the Algiers Accord, in the Turkish/Iraq/Iran border line and thus forcing the Kurdish aspirations of statehood to limiting itself on the Iraqi side. Irans, rejection of supporting and recognizing an eventual state called "Kurdistan" should it one day emerge, was also a reason to betray Iranian diplomats to the US forces. What this self oriented Amateur for a politician never seems to consider, is the fact that Iran has international obligations when it comes to countries and borders, and Iranians are no Arabs to suddenly tear accords up, just because they are in a position to do so.

Had we been living in some Hollywood movie a la "Godfather" Hoshiyar Zeibari would have been the best candidate to get "whacked" by the family for his impertinence.

Nevertheless, I copy the four relevant points of the Algiers Accord of 1975 for all to remember.

1- Carry out a final delineation of their land boundaries in accordance with the Constantinople Protocol of 1913 and the Proceedings of the Border Delimitation Commission of 1914.
2- Demarcate their river boundaries according to the thalweg line.
3- Accordingly, the two parties shall restore security and mutual confidence along their joint borders. They shall also commit themselves to carry out a strict and effective observation of their joint borders so as to put an end to all infiltrations of a subversive nature wherever they may come from.
 4- The two parties have also agreed to consider the aforesaid arrangements as inseparable elements of a comprehensive solution. Consequently, any infringement of one of its components shall naturally contradict the spirit of the Algiers Accord.

The Sanctions

Mr. M. Sahimi wrote "When she was running for president in 2008, Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened to obliterate Iran if it attacked Israel. Her opponent, Barack Obama, responded that Clinton’s threat was "too much like Bush" Four years later Iran has not attacked Israel (and will not do so, unless attacked by Israel first), but President Obama is actually carrying out the threat that his current secretary of state made in 2008, waging an undeclared war on Iran and Iranians. The U.S. and Israel have launched cyber attacks, assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists , and supported armed ethnic groups that carry out terrorist operations inside Iran, killing innocent people. In addition, Israel has been active in the  Kurdistan region of Iraq and in the Republic of Azerbaijan , encouraging and supporting small separatist movements among Iranian ethnic groups, such as the Kurds and Azeris. But the most devastating part of the undeclared war on Iran is the tough econ

Chaldoran 1514 AD

Image
It was late summer in the year 1514, and Iran had a new dynasty in power(The Safavid 1501-1722). The distinctive difference here was the fact that the Safavids were the first "Shia" dynasty that used all methods in the book to convert all Iranians into a homogeneous religion, since the "Iranshahr" factor (which was the name that Iranians used for their country) did not seem enough to mobilize a sense of national unity to refute new national threats, mainly the Afghans and the Turks. The Safavid used issues like the marriage of "BiBi-Shahrbanu" (sister of the last Sassanid King) with "Imam Hussain" and the fact that the fourth Shia "Imam Zein-Ol-Abedin" had not only prophet blood, but also Iranian Royal blood, which stimulated nationalistic feelings of even the most fanatic Sunni Iranians to convert. Furthermore the most convincing argument, was the sword and the famous sentence attributed to the founder of this dynasty was "Either

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T
