New Minister of Foreign Affairs


Iran’s President dismissed Dr. Manouchehr Mottaki for reasons not quite yet known to the public and probably will be considered (as always) a 5 to 12 issue by the "Western Press" who will undoubtedly bore the world over with speculations of internal fighting and imminent disintegration of regimes, countries and continents. Furthermore, Ahmadinejad appointed a Dr A.A. Salehi in an acting capacity. Mottaki has been the Foreign Minister of Iran since 24 August 2005. He was the only Minister who was not replaced in Ahmadinejad's Cabinet after Ahmadinejad's reelection. Salehi will be Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs until Ahmadinejad nominates a person to the Iranian Parliament for approval.(has 6 months time )

Dr. A.A.Salehi is an Iranian politician, diplomat and academic and the current acting Minister of foreign affairs (13 December 2010). He is also the Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran since 16 July 2009. He was Iranian Representative in the IAEA from 1997 to 2005. He was born on 7 July 1949 in Karbala, Iraq when his family was in Iraq for a religious visit. He has a BSs from the American University of Beirut and a Ph.D from the M.I.T. in Massachusetts, which he earned in 1977. He was also Associate Professor and Chancellor of Sharif University of Technology and a member of the Academy of Science of Iran and the “International centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy”.

The immediate difference that strikes the eye is Dr Salehis eloquence and his far better English , a feature much needed to avoid the necessity for translators that never seem to get the issues properly over and have so far resulted in “Iran not having gays” or worse “Israel to have been wiped off the map”. Both deliberate mistakes committed to scare and trivialize.

Whatever the case here is an interview with “aljazeera” to get an idea.

Anyone is better than Mottaki.
Not offensive enough.

I have a feeling Winston above means "occupied" Iran.
Iran must be doing something right to be having such dedicated enemies in America.

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
