#Exclusive_interview


Walt Peretto, American analyst and sociopolitical psychologist:

- The political violence we are seeing in the United States this year is being largely promoted by power elites with the complicity of their mainstream media

- Agents of the power elites like George Soros are funding ‘left-leaning’ groups sometimes led by “trained Marxists” promoting the notions of fighting systemic racism.

- When pathological people are attempting to maintain or increase control of large populations, they sometimes create chaotic events to distract populations

Gilad Atzmon, ex- Israeli author:

- America is willing to sacrifice its young soldiers and national interests and even its economy for Israel

- For decades, Israel has been selling killing machines to the most oppressive regimes around the world

- By now, the USA is practically functioning as a remote and subservient Israeli satellite

#exclusive_interview

Professor Frank N. von Hippel, a former White House official:

- Despite the U.S. rejoining the JCPOA agreement and even with a Democratic president and Congress, the relationship between the U.S. and Iran will remain difficult and adversarial.

- The polls show Trump likely to lose a fair election. Therefore, he is trying to raise doubts about the fairness of the election to justify his own measures to make it unfair by suppressing the vote in areas where Black and Latinos live and disqualify as many as possible of the mail-in ballots, which Democrats tend to use more than Republicans.

Peter Stano, European Commission spokesperson for foreign affairs issues:

- The EU considers the extraterritorial application of unilateral restrictive measures unlawful and contrary to international law.

- The High Representative of the EU for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell said last week that Iran had legitimate expectations that the "nuclear deal" would result in more concrete economic benefits.

- “The EU has a strategic interest in a stable and secure environment in the Eastern Mediterranean and in the development of a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship with Turkey.”

Expanding JCPOA on other issues not productive: ex-UK ambassador to IAEA

#exclusive_interview

🔻 Peter Jenkins, the former UK ambassador to the IAEA, says Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden seems to be setting out a very ambitious agenda for negotiations with Iran if he wins the November 3 presidential elections which will not be productive.

It is unlikely that U.S. policies produce democracy

#exclusive_interview

🔻 "It is unlikely that any policies that the U.S. could have pursued would have produced any democratic outcome in either country," Zonis says in an interview with the Tehran Times.

The professor describes the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003 under the pretext that the Saddam regime was hiding weapons of mass destruction was “disastrous”.

Most observers believe that U.S. policies in West Asia have ended in failure, and it is time for the United States to withdraw its forces from the region.

Rodney Shakespeare, a British professor calls Macron a ‘juvenile boy’ who has just heard of ‘free expression’

#exclusive_interview

🔻Macron is like a pimply, juvenile boy who has heard of the phrase "free expression" and thinks it means that he can now insult his parents, his teachers, the local mayor, and poor people in general as well as deface buildings with slogans in red paint. For fun, this pimply adolescent, when seated in a cinema, then shouts "Fire!!" and when in the ensuing panic people are killed proudly says that he was exercising his right to free expression.

Macron will do anything to hide the fact that France, like the USA, UK, and Israel, is deeply involved in precipitating terrorist attacks because it welcomes and supports the philosophical and financial source of Wahhabi/Takfiri/ISIL/Daesh terrorism, which is Saudi Arabia to which the West sells arms.

The West supports the hideous autocratic Takfiri-encouraging West Asia regimes like that of Saudi Arabia because these regimes suppress Arabic democratic expression, which is particularly angry about the occupation and annexation of other people's lands in the West Bank and Golan Heights.

Iran wants a stable Afghanistan: Pakistani analyst

#exclusive_interview

🔻 Iran, being a regional player, is crucial for any development in its neighborhood. Afghanistan is not an exception as it (Iran) has geopolitical, historical, and cultural relations with Afghanistan.

Iran, an important neighbor for Afghanistan, will likely play a key role in the near future in shaping stability in Afghanistan. Iran will benefit greatly from a stable and secure Afghanistan in terms of trade and cultural relations.

Iran will in all likelihood continue on its current course of openly supporting the Afghan government while encouraging intra-Afghan talks and maintaining its ties to the Taliban to keep its options open as the United States prepares to withdraw.

Trump’s maximum pressure on Iran has been a failure: Italian analyst

#exclusive_interview

🔻The Europeans do not support conventional weapons to Iran (they have their own embargo in place until 2023), yet they do not believe that the best way to limit arms sales to Iran is to destroy the JCPOA.

Ostensibly the goal (maximum pressure) was to press Iran to agree to greater concessions than the ones included in the JCPOA, to limit its ballistic missiles and scale back its support for allies across the region. This has not happened. Iran's nuclear program is more advanced than it was in 2018.

The E3 and the EU have failed to persuade the Trump administration not to leave the JCPOA and to persuade it not to threaten European companies with American extra-territorial sanctions, which has forced European companies not to do business with Iran even if legal under European law.

Macron provoking Muslims to distract from his many domestic challenges, says American analyst

#exclusive_interview

🔻Andrew Korybko, an American geopolitical analyst based in Moscow and a member of the expert council for the Institute of Strategic Studies and Predictions at the People’s Friendship University of Russia:

Holocaust denial is banned in France so that country does indeed impose limits upon freedom of expression contrary to its support of Islamophobic hate speech, which raises questions about how sincerely the government abides by the principle of free speech.

Macron is either misled by his advisors or purposely seeking to provoke Muslims in his country and abroad.

There's an observable trend taking place which misleadingly appears to confirm the so-called “Clash of Civilizations” scenario. The argument put forth is that Western civilization (which is characterized by its extreme secularism as embodied by France) and Islamic civilization, among others, are reasserting their unique attributes, which are contradictory in many respects such as the discussed one when it comes to the topic of free speech for instance.

Candidates for federal office are asked to put interests of Israel ahead: philosopher

#exclusive_interview

🔻James Fetzer, a retired professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota:

Candidates for federal office are asked to sign a pledge to put the interests of Israel ahead of those (even) of the United States, where those who refuse to sign (which are few) find their funding dries up and they lack the resources to campaign or, once in office.

Donald Trump's election in 2016 was as unexpected as it was unwelcomed to the Establishment and to Globalists world-wide, including the Rothschild's banking empire. A move is afoot using a wildly exaggerated viral pandemic to wipe out small businesses and the middle class in order to make the people--not just in America but throughout the world--dependent upon their governments, which the Rothschilds control through the financial system.

The U.S. Congress has been well-described as, like the Golan Heights, an occupied territory by Israel.

The U.S., not Iran, has been the greatest destabilizing force in the Middle East (West Asia) since its intervention in Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11, which was orchestrated to provide a pseudo-justification for America entering the region to take out the modern Arab states that served as a counter-balance to Israel's domination of the entire region.

Electoral College thoroughly undemocratic: American professor

#exclusive_interview

🔻Robert C. Smith, a professor of political science at San Francisco State University:

The electoral college, which is partly rooted in slavery, is a thoroughly undemocratic institution and makes a mockery of democracy in America.

It seems that the elections would not run smoothly this time given the potential threat to the smooth running of the vote.

Electoral system should have long ago been abolished, but it takes an amendment to the Constitution which it makes virtually impossible to abolish, given the supermajorities required in Congress and the states.

No guarantee a Republican administration will quit nuclear deal again: expert

#exclusive_interview

🔻Shashank Joshi, a defense editor at the Economist:

Iran must contend with the risk that a Republican administration in 2024 will once more walk away from a deal.

It is likely that a Biden administration will reach a deal with Iran. But there are two questions. One is whether it will be a U.S. return to the JCPOA, or something more limited involving U.S. sanctions relief and Iran returning to compliance. The second question is whether a follow-on deal, covering, for instance, sunset clauses and further economic assistance for Iran, can be agreed upon. A follow-on deal seems more difficult at this stage, particularly in light of next year's Iranian elections and the contentiousness of the issues.

The lesson of the Trump era is that America is highly polarized and that diplomatic agreements may be less enduring and stable than they were in the past.

Iran, Turkey, and Russia must act jointly against the Washington tyranny: Turkish historian

#exclusive_interview

🔻Mehmet Perincek, Turkish historian and political scientist:

The interests of Turkey and Iran, and even of Russia, are common against U.S. sanctions. Our countries must act jointly against this tyranny (unilateral arbitrary practices) of Washington. In this regard, Tehran's statements on this issue are very important and very valuable for Turkey. Our Iranian friends should also know that Turkey will not succumb to the embargoes against Iran.

The United States and Israel are the only sources of chaos in the Middle East (West Asia). Of course, they also have cooperative governments in the region, such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia. These forces are trying to take over the countries of the region by using separatist and Salafist fundamentalist terror.

Turkey and Iran are obliged to each other, have to form an alliance with each other. Otherwise, they will not be able to resist U.S. pressure as they should. So, this alliance is not an option, it is a necessity for these two countries. The territorial integrity of the two countries, economic development, peace, and prosperity of the region depends on this.

Asian football suffers from ‘tactical poverty’, expert says

#exclusive_interview

🔻Jalal Cheraghpour, Iranian football expert:

The most considerable point, in my opinion, in the match between Persepolis and Ulsan Hyundai was the awful tactical performance of the Asian football’s final match at a prestigious club competition. I want to call it a ‘tactical poverty’ or ‘tactical inefficiency’. The reason that I consider such titles for this match is that although the teams scored three goals in total (2-1) but none of them were as a result of tactical performance.

I don’t understand why the referee should leave everything to the VAR. some of the incidents in the game including the penalties were clear to decide but he just checked the VAR and failed to recognize them at the time of happening. It shows that the referee was not at a high level of preparation for such a game. In the crowded scenes he was not able to decide well.

Iran and Turkey must use their geostrategic potential in face of Zionism: Turkish politician

#exclusive_interview

🔻Dogan Bekin, vice president of the New Welfare Party in Turkey:

It is always possible to find malicious voices that turn the subject of poetry into an opportunity trying to find a basis for separating policies and damage the relations between the two countries. The important thing is that common understanding prevails, while Zionist forces want to take advantage to spoil ties of Iran and Turkey.

As the Welfare Party, we want to state that we prioritize the respect to independence and territorial integrity of Iran, in line with our national vision. Separatist approaches are only in line with the desire for foreign powers and policy of "divide and rule".

Biden, based on the Zionist policies, is keen to follow the policy of separatism and division to deal with countries like Turkey, Iraq, and Syria. He will certainly make every effort to reach these goals.

Israel assassinated Fakhrizadeh with U.S. green light: American professor

#exclusive_interview

🔻 Hossein Askari, professor of international business at George Washington University:

America’s intelligence services are invaluable to Israel. The Trump-Netanyahu cooperation are as close as you can get. Netanyahu would want to make sure that this fits Trump’s current and future political agenda. So he would do nothing like this without a U.S. cooperation and green light.

Let’s face it. Israel has determined much of America’s foreign policy in the Middle East. It is sad but true. I am afraid that the United States will pay a heavy price in the future. There will be blowback and at the end Americans will little by little turn against Israel. It may take years or even decades, but it will happen.

Iran ready to offer nursing experience to regional countries

#exclusive_interview

🔻Ahmad Nejatian, director of international affairs of the Nursing Organization:

We have so far held two joint courses with the ICN, one of which was led for change course, held in Iran, to train the nurses on management skills, and the other was global nursing leadership course held in Geneva.

Iran's capabilities in the field of nursing education are focused on crisis nursing and nursing for the elderly that we decide to transfer these experiences to the countries of the region through training courses after containing coronavirus.

Healthcare workers who lost their lives in the fight against coronavirus are called martyrs of health in Iran so that their families will be supported by receiving different kinds of assistance; which was a significant step to pay tribute to those who dedicated their lives defending our nation.

Yemen experiencing worst health catastrophe: Yemeni diplomat

#exclusive_interview

🔻Moataz al-Qurashi, a health consultant in the Yemeni embassy in Syria:

Yemen is experiencing the worst health catastrophe at the regional level since more than a hundred years ago. Epidemics and diseases such as Malaria and others have become rampant. During the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the level of humanitarian aid to Yemen has been almost negligible.

Yemen, in line with the legitimate defense of itself, has developed its military options more and more until it reached the long-range ballistic missiles that destroyed sites in the heart of the Saudi capital Riyadh.

Yemen enjoys an important economic and strategic position in the peninsula besides its access to the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. Saudi Arabia sought not while ago to find a sea outlet in the Arabian Sea and to carve out part of the eastern regions in Yemen bordering the Sultanate of Oman, and today we see they are trying to apply their policies in one way or another.
