As the author says, you cannot rationally negotiate with a “partner” hell bent on your destruction. The West cannot wrap its head around this fact, preferring to project its own values on a society that rejects the whole premise. The only thing they understand is world domination under Islam. Unfortunately the West’s response is, “Why can’t we all just get along?”
Iran is a theocracy bent world chaos and destruction; an apocalyptic end to bring about their theocratic vision. They don’t care how many people are killed as long as they remain in power to bring about the end of civilization
"During his travel to Paris, Imam Khomeini sent out a message to Iranian people and other Muslims, telling them that his new destination was not pre-planned and he was embarking to France at God’s will. He further expressed hope that his journey would be in the interest of the impoverished Muslim Iranians and other Muslims. “There is no specific place for me. What matters to me is acting following a divine duty. The transcendent interests of Islam and Muslims matter to me,” he said in his message.
Upon his arrival, Elysee Palace informed Imam Khomeini that the then French President had wanted him to refrain from doing any political activity. But, Imam reacted angrily telling the French president’s representatives that such restrictions were against the French government’s claim about abiding by democratic values and that he would not give in to pressures.
The French President at the time Valéry Giscard d'Estaing wrote in his memoirs that he wanted to order the expulsion of Imam Khomeini from France, but at the last moment he changed his mind in fear of reaction in both Europe and Iran."
It is also useful to read this piece about the 1953 coup. MSM distorted this incident with untrue claims and turned it into a cornerstone of enmity with the Shah. The role of leftists and Western useful idiots in fueling the lie of the illegal overthrow of the democratic government is very similar to their performance today in fueling the claim of genocide in Gaza. A lie that is repeated enough becomes truth in the public mind.
The role of the UK in the 1979 Islamic Revolution was even more influential than that of France or the US.
It is estimated that the time gap between Khomeini’s statements and their broadcast on BBC radio — which had a massive audience in Iran — was less than three minutes. Meanwhile, the BBC systematically censored the views of Khomeini’s opponents, especially secular groups and women who warned about taqiyya (religious dissimulation).
To understand the BBC's function as a soft power tool of UK foreign policy during the events of the 1979 revolution, I recommend two key sources. Both authors are anti-Shah, so you can be confident there is no bias in favor of the monarchy:
The Shah by Abbas Milani (a former Iranian Communist scholar)
The Middle East in International Relations. Power, Politics and Ideology by Fred Halliday (a British Marxist scholar)
These works are essential for anyone seriously examining the BBC’s role in shaping the revolutionary narrative in Iran."
I agree with every characterization of what Iran is, how they react, etc. The question I have is what strategy will get rid of their nuclear weapons and missiles? Israel has decimated Gaza in every sense of that word. Yet Hamas has not surrendered n might there still be a future for Hamas? Same thing is developing in Lebanon. Hezbollah still defiant. In Iran, their navy, Air Force, etc wiped out by the U.S. Yet here we are hoping to get the Strait open and wondering if a 15 year sunset for nuclear weapons makes sense in 2026 when it didn’t in 2015. Is there a military strategy that works against Iran that we can stomach and not blow up the world?
As we have heard so many times before, "none are as blind as those who will not see." This is why I love the Israelis. They know their neighborhood, they know their neighbors, and now after October 7th, they have the clear mind of suffering no illusions. Those who rise up against Israel will be killed. No negotiation, no empathy, no apologies. Kill them dead. We just need to stay out of their way and deal likewise with our own jihadists.
It makes me sick .. we see mainstream media outlets, that because Trump is such an unpopular, unpolished, shoot from the hip, unnnatural leader, and Israel so wrongly hated by so many, these outlets have a bias in favour of Iran. Utterly disgraceful.
Iran’s regime follows the Muqawama doctrine, and evil way of life in which everything is sacrificed.
Exactly. Their first step should be admitting they don't have a fucking clue about anything to do with the Middle East.

The Pope's response is why can't we all play nice together. Can't he see that Islam's aim is the destruction of his church
The Pope and the Catholic Church will be the next Dhimmi under Islam

Trump himself does this by continually negotiating with the regime for a "deal".
The basic problem in the West is that bad behavior is not punished. When that is corrected everything else will fall into place.
