International sanctions ended on Iran

No doubt many here will see this as a bad move, however we may feel the benefit at the petrol pump as even more oil is unloaded onto an already fairly saturated market, pushing prices lower.

I wonder what effect it will have on the typical Iranian?

Right now, none I'd wager, except perhaps it might be easier to obtain some stuff abroad, and in the long term I doubt it will have that much effect either because the first thing that Iran is going to be doing with their new money is upgrading and overhauling their military so they are better able to fight Saudi Arabia, as well as funnelling money to anti-Sunni terror networks.
After that, their economy might start to pick up, perhaps when the oil prices finally spike back up like people expect that they will eventually, that's if the sanctions aren't reapplied by someone before then.

Yeah those ****e(aka Shia) milita in Iraq will probably get more aid and in Yemen. Which means that ISIS will get more money from its supporters and the proxy war will rage on.

Our morons and fat cats sent a trade delegation to Iran a month prior.
Let's see if anything comes out of it.

Primary reason to very low oil prices is that Saudi Arabia is dumping it into market in volumes and at low prices. At my understanding there is two reasons for this: a) to keep Iranian oil revenues low and b) to inhibit develompent of U.S. oil industry. Saudis ofcourse suffer themselves too and as result of lower oil revenue their budget deficit is huge. However they have opted to solve issue by cutting spending rather than curbing oil production so I wouldn't expect any oil price spikes in many years.

That's the nice thing about sanctions. They can always be brought back if necessary.

Let's give Iran a chance and see.

Only time will tell if this is a good move or a bad move.

I agree....and that is a lot more tolerant than what is currently coming out of Israel.

only nuclear related sanctions are removed
 

The question is, are they sponsoring the good terrorists or the bad terrorists? :hmmm:

Good question. I would say "good terrorists" but that conclusion is archived by comparing Hezbollah and Daesh... :hmmm:

Today we are friends with Iran. therefor must those terrorist group, Iran support be good. Tomorrow when we are not so good friend with Iran, those terror group are then bad.

:up: Exactly.


President Reagan and his good friends, the Mujahaedin.
As long as they were (ab)used to fight against Russia, in Afghanistan:

President Bush and his good friend, Saddam Hussein.
Thanking him for his engagement, against Iran:

Whoever you side with, be very careful when it comes to the US :03:

That might be the crappiest photoshop job I've ever seen.

Garbage.

Not surprising though... :nope:

I predicted that and expected that since Obama was elected. Its still a terrible mistake, nevertheless. When the world realises that, the reality-deniers responsible for this folly will shrug their shoulders and say "How should we have known? We meant it well."

Pakistan II quagmire ahead. Enjoy.

Also, this clsoing of ties with Iran that they celebrate, means a diplomatic approach with one of the worst financers and exporters of international terrorism. It means enabling our de facto ENEMY to support his fight against and confronting of the West, Israel, and the Sunni world. Because we hope to make a quick dollar from it.

We are a hopeless case. Some mental diseases cannot be cured.

The photo of Reagan meeting with the Afghans is very real. It is an official White House photo; a copy of it can found on the Reagan Library website and is also found on this University of Texas website (its about the 25th picture down):

It also appears on the NSA Archives website...

I think he means the one with Dubya and Saddam.
