Iran is under extreme threat from the US/Israel, Iran wants to control Arabs (but they can't) ..

[@aequitas9563]

It is. That's why it's a disaster when fools like Donald Trump can make decisions. Here is one of many examples of how irreparable the damage is that completely incompetent foreign policy does. The Obama administration, for example, has been trying to slowly improve relations with Iran and end its isolation. Certainly also because analysts saw the dangers that are now being realized even then. By Trump's cancellation of the nuclear deal and reinstatement of sanctions to play strongman, he has put Iran in a situation that leaves them no choice but to join forces with Russia. American geopolitics has been a carefully balanced affair for many decades. But stupid decisions by angry children will ensure that America's adversaries become ever more organized.

[@JefferyEpstiensBlackBook]

The main reason is because america did the same thing to them over Isreal.

This video is full of speculation, and unproven assumptions, and even outright lies gathered from western propaganda sources, especially at beginning in relation to the Ukraine war, you just assume a whole lot of things are facts, when they are totally unproven. I also love how you conveniently forget to mention the CIA coup d'état in Iran in 1954, and how British and American petroleum companies didn't want the Iranian government to nationalize its oil and gas wealth, and installed the brutal Shah in their democratic governments place. You also forget the mention the role the USA has played in keeping the Middle east war torn and divided for decades in its efforts to isolate an destroy Iran, wit its colonial settler outpost Israel always willing to do its bidding, and your idea that Russian and Iran are totally isolated is false, most of the world in fact nearly all the world outside the collectives west has not sanctioned Russia, only 13% of Humanity has sanctioned Russia, but is common for the people in the west to consider themselves the whole world, and every one else just their subservient monkeys, what idiots like you fail to realize is those days are now well and truly over.

Considering your "geographic location" and how young Azerbaijan (as an independent state) is, I think Azerbaijan made a huge strategic mistake by trying to get closer to Israel and Turkey. I can't fully understand why they have done that really. But now, I think your northern neighbor wants to gain control over Azerbaijan once again, while it can (because 50 years or 100 years from now, it may be too costly or maybe even impossible to do that, considering the role of Turkey and the EU). Still, I think they will allow Nakhichevan to still exist as an independent entity, but I could be wrong. In that hypothetical (but logical) scenario, Armenia then may even try to cut off the Nakhichevan-Turkey border, just in case (for future).

I hear from Iranians who fought in the iraq/Iran war that the Islamic revolution wouldn’t have been successful had it not been for iraq invading them. Iranians were quite liberal and the vast majority were against Islamic rule. But they relented and rallied behind the new government in order to save their country.

[@sinabagherisarvestani8924]

as the world becomes more globalized , its important for Israel , Iran and Saudi Arabia and America to try and improve relations , any attempts by the United States or Israel to declare war on Iran will probably lead to a war where neither side can win and neither side can end it , it could last 100 year because it would be ideological , anytime you have ideology involved , wars become endless , the best policy would be diplomatic where Iran , America and Israel agree on steps to open embassies or at least open consulates or at a bare minimum , a interest section at a host embassy , a war would essentially destroy the new world order

[@hailelon8249]

Each nation does what’s in it’s immediate interest. It’s also worth noting that China is using less oil probably due to EVs which are 24% of their auto sales. Seems like if the West and China continue to use less oil, this undermines Russia and Iran, makes India less dependent on Russia, reduces China’s fear of having its oil supply through the South China Sea cut off, and reduces the chance of US jumping in on the side of whoever is supplying us oil. I would say a net positive influence. I like your series because it helps understand things that influence nations, rather than just demonizing the other based on religion, political tradition, or culture.
