@Goodtree Well, I agree with you if you live under a rock. The fact is we know (at least a person with a few brain cells) what's going on and somehow a person (in this case F.M. Javad Zarif) needs to feel so dehumanized to answer these question...it's getting to the point where you put a white piece paper in front of a person and argue that is not white...And I understand most of us are controlled/brainwashed by most of the main stream media...and again Very said!! :)

The US, Israel regime, and BBC, don't waist your money and time on twitting "happy Persian new year", "we stand with Iranian people", "human rights in Iran",... Iran is a big family of 80 million people; we might have internal issues, just as all other countries, but won't let foreigners to decide for us--foreigners who have been the source of violence and terror all over the world.

This was a lovely interview from my eyes. Very calm compared to other interrogators (i am sure that Dr. Zarif expected worst hah), i'm understanding both sides. Questions were relavent to her and the community. She is just pressured to act stronger than needed and she has a lot to learn about both sides. But sadly with US behaviour, even if she overcome her ignorance about iran she still may have to act tough which is understanding in this age. I hope that this is the beginning to her not an ending. I hope she recognize those who are respectful to her, those who are telling her the reality of these politics.

[@michaelgold8107]

@@sonnyliston8863 Your rationality is one of "ifs" and "but". You cannot say without any authority that Cyrus the Great who incidentally was admired by the God King Alexander ( Iskander ) , could have defeated him. If you consider that Alexander smashed all before him, always out numbered, on terrain unfamiliar to Greeks with stretched supplies, even against the huge Indian armies with elephant ,a beast the Greeks had never come across before in battle - then even as an Iranian you have to admit he was the best. He won them all!! Alexander's and his Companions were unmatched by any other leader, king or emperor in history. No Persian comes close. A distant 2nd was only Julius Cesaer who came much later in history. He based his life in awe of Alexander. Alexander's tactics are still studied at Elite military acadamies West Point (USA) and Sandhurst (UK). They were used in Desert Storm to free Kuwait. Apart from the Greeks - the tactics of the Romans and Hannibal are also studied from the ancient world - but NO Persian ones I can assure you! Cyrus the Great's history is only accurately documented by none other than the Greek Herodotus and by the Greek Xenophon. Nothing else exists about him apart from legend talking... Finally, as you use the name Sonny Liston i will give a simplistic comparison with boxing. Would the talented Klitchko, Tyson, Lennox Lewis, or Evander ever come close to Ali?? Ask any expert and the Answer is NO!! Then the same applies to the Greatest of them all, Alexander the Great King born in Pella Greece...

[@sonnyliston8863]

Michael Gold wtf are you talkin bout? U mean cyrus the great didnt exist? Lmao dude read history they are proves that he existed, if u think that cyrus the great didnt exist it means that alexander didnt exist neither, and why u bring boxing to this talk?

[@philmstud2k]

@B.B. Goal ​ & Zitta Bonnitta You're both wrong. The Persia/Iran as we know it today goes back to the time of Achaemenes, in the 8th Century BC, around 3000 years ago. Yes, there were older cities and towns and there was the older Elamite civilization, but none of this was "Persia". None of these people spoke the Persian language nor had Persian customs and traditions, because they didn't exist yet. That's like saying ancient Native American towns and villages are part of the modern United States country/civilization. The United States only exists as far back as 1776, so anything older couldn't be a part of the country, not technically speaking anyway. They geography overlaps and many of our towns were built upon their older towns, but they're separate cultures and identities. It's the same case here with Iran/Persia and the older cultures that preceded it. Not the same. Persia/Iran is only around 3000 years old.
