Riz Khan - US-Iran relations - 23 Sep 08 - Part 1

[chaneltanita]

I thought this with Iraq, that it was about the oil but then US did not bid for oil our country UK did. I think there is a genunine concern about Iran's leader who has already said he would use a nuclear weapon against Israel and America. War with Afganistan began with 9/11 - Iraq, they invaded kuwait, Saddam was a nut case, evil, mass murderer and dangerous, his uncle he helped on Nazi ventures. Another Hitler. Syria states it got Iraq weapons, Im not for war, sanctions yes, Iran with nukes no

[Alaskan20]

Looks like Obama has found diplomacy with these folks is a fantasy. It's a little different when you are the one driving the ship isn't it Barry?

[Metsada007]

Those Iranians who oppose Iran from gaining nuclear weapons are traitors.

[redredwine23]

Those who represent Islamic Republic are worse than traitors. Those who kill their ham-vatan (country men) are dogs.

[TottalySecret]

Rip Hero Saddam, I would like somone to answer these questions, Why aren't US attacking Iran right now, They know they have and are making Nuclear weapons etc, The iraqi baath regim didn't even have nuclear stuff, and US attacked iraq (US used cemical Weapons in city's like Tikrit(Were They found Our great hero Saddam) Parts Of baghdad also, And US get pissed at other countries for having it, And if you dont trust me Just ask and i'll proof it that US used cemical stuff.

[AMIRsarkari]

you are misinformd my friend very much so

[muziquelle]

lol humourous... and accurate.

i think some people must think it's just PURE coincidence that the US is 'picking fights' with Oil/Natural Gas-rich countries.

[lugema]

you desecrate my country i will defecate on you quran

[AMIRsarkari]

this iranians in us are zionists and nobody wants them in iran anyway

[muziquelle]

these iranians clearly have not been to Iran in a long time... and their attitudes are very common of the resentful Iranians who fled because of an Islamic fundamentalist state which is now more of a pragmatist state.

I hate the two extremes of it to be honest... iran haters and die-hard iran lovers who wouldn't dare criticize their land.

i'm in the middle... i can appreciate the positive changes happening in iran but im still wary and critical of the corruption and fundamentalism.

[AMIRsarkari]

we all are against all form of corruption and extremist .but dont forget one of the weapons that tis NWO has and that is the ecomomic tool,and we in iran are in lots of press but ower bnp is growing with 6 % every year with no thanks of the NWO .iran is a exemple fore the world

[muziquelle]

behtareh be farsi goft.... aslan nafamidam chi gofti

[AMIRsarkari]

farsi mitonim harf bezanim ama ingilisit khob hast ke

[muziquelle]

midoonam LOL... englisi zabane madarime.

i just thought maybe you could express it clearer in farsi, choon dorost nafamidam manzooret chiye.

plus, i need the practice - ha!

[skaabidi]

I wonder how can one don't belive in GOD. Look yourself and You are bound to believe.

GOD is the Greatest.

ISLAM Is the Natural Religion.

Reciete QURAN. It is a HOLY BOOK..

you fools!!! You are not even satisfied.

Ali(Aleh Salam) haq aur haq ALI(Aleh Salam) ke sath hai. BeShaq!!

Long Live Ahmadi Nejad!!!

[muziquelle]

There is no compulsion in religion... i believe this is in the Qu'ran. People can decide for themselves...

[gbrait2000]

ISLAMIC REPUBLIC was created by ANGLO/AMERICAN & ASSOCIATES 9england and its scum bag erand boy america)- there was NO REVOLUTION!

islam has been a great tool for englnd and america to RUB IRAN of her natural and financial resources. (CARTER THE BASTARD-GARY SICK- brzezinski-and.....were among those who created and financed khomeini and islamic republic)- and to this day-islamic republci has been getting the full and 100% support of england and its errand boy america to stay in power....

[chaitnath]

...i'm sure USA will be defeated if it attacks iran...ahmadinejad seeks diplomacy first!

[afrircans1970]

Subsequent to our meddling with Iran, the Carter Presidency was the one that made a lasting impression on Iran as a VERY weak vacillating, indecisive one.

It appears that occasionally Iran assumes that we are still a Carter-type nation. One that is led instead of leads & questions itself into inaction.

MANY people who are not Israeli or aligned w/ the USA question the present administration in Iran as to their rhetoric of peaceful intentions.

Do they really NEED nuclear power w/ oil resources?

[arashshk]

IRAAAAAAAAAAAAN goooooooooo.,,,,

[jimiydoorshamLachim]

ElBaradei criticized Iran, however, for continued attempts at uranium enrichment. "Iran has not addressed the long outstanding verification issues or provided the necessary transparency to remove uncertainties associated with some of its activities...," wrote ElBaradei.

[babapoco]

okey same pice of shet.what is the difrent betowin persian racist or presian shit all are same.you are also persian racist so fuck you mother fucker.i dont know why when you have problem you related to other ethnic or other cuontry.you have problem in iran cause of racist persian .down with racist persian.of course we dont have problem with persian but our problem is with racist persian.fuck you racist persian

[alatif6]

THERE ARE SOME BAD TRAITORS OF IRAN

[jimiydoorshamLachim]

Although most agreed that Iraq was years away from being able to build a weapon, the Iranians and the Israelis felt any raid must occur well before nuclear fuel was loaded to prevent contamination.

Iran attacked and damaged the [Iraqi Osiraq nuclear] site on September 30, 1980 with two F-4 Phantoms, shortly after the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War.[6]

So i guess its okay for Irans Airstrikes against Nuke Plant of a country that threatened its existence (Saddam)...

so why cant Israel?

[polehchoobi]

Er, there is a minor difference; Saddam attacked Iran first. Moron!

[arplayer2k]

Also, in a record breaking democratic process, Iranians voted to make Iran an Islamic state. Good luck getting your country back losers!

[AVINAR80]

yes,BUT :

not ALL the ppl,there were groups of religius ppl -manly poor- who start this and pointed at goverment expenses and say "hey thats our money why they should enjoy it while we r just poor..."and some1 came and promise them - like ALL the ppl who run presidential campaigns- wealth,happiness,$.and all voted YES.like american voted 4bush who fucked them in da ass and now they r homeless,they dont have money to pay their loans,insurance,...

so i guess we ALL bunch of loosers at the end

[arplayer2k]

I'm sorry, but Bush didn't come into power via throwing Clinton out of office, and with the support of well over 70% of the country. If your "Shah" was such a progressive man, then the words of an old Ayatollah would not have moved the entire country into a revolution. If things were that great, then the illusion of something greater wouldn't have moved the entire country. The funniest thing is the US put him in power, and they betrayed him too. Classic karma.

[AVINAR80]

thats my point,US tried to control,invade,steal,...other countries freedom,money,oil...and for this reasons they(US)killed millions of innocent women and children....

The world is suffering from US policies

we can survive,but i doubt american do

u know why: coz we know what is like to say goodbye to our freedom,our house,our land.its hard,and u have no clue my friend.

I wish a pieceful ending for all

[arplayer2k]

Well our ignorance, and disconnection from the political process has caused us grief, and will continue to do so. Power is either going to go back in the favor of the people like a democracy should, or there will be a revolution to do so. If the corrupt politicians continue to work in their own interest, America is done with. Historical reference: Roman empire. How great it was, and how hard it fell. Take it easy my friend.

[arplayer2k]

LOL. A bunch of Iranian Jews, from the era of what it looks like the Shah of Iran, are speaking out against Iran. Well traitors will be traitors. Who robbed the country of its money when the us puppet the Shah was ousted and came to the USA and started out with great wealth? Iranian Jews. The same Iranian Jews who want to go back now, after 30 years, because its their country. Iranian Jews are the minority. Good luck getting what was never yours back.

[sheshe670]

if you want to know who are those are protesting search for mojahedin e khalgh they are people who even sell thire land to saddam housein down with monafegh

[sheshe670]

he said treath to civilization from cradle of civilization!!!iraq iran .........rest of world

[XEXEZU]

The American must first find a way to fix their collapsing economy and then dream about sanctions against Iran. UN is sucks.

[bck2001]

Muslims your faith is as dead as door nail, which has no live. Your god is so dead, so blind and so helpless. Where are your so called god???

[ZYahood]

bck2001; really? So what are YOU worried about? Why do YOU waste your time here ? lol ...

[fash64]

I don't think you've ever been out side Iran....get a life people in iran don't even like Dr. A-nejad and you can tell us that this regim does not have torture in Evin Prison, the new islamic Savak?

[ZYahood]

fash64; is torture bad? So why Americans torture people in Guantanamo? Bush and Cheney insist on the right to torture! Are you new to this? Are you stupid? Watch the news! Read more!

[ma11ohad]

iran is killing the chance for peace in the middle east. the only solution alway was and always will be a two state solution. the way ahmdinijad is talking about Israel and the holocoust anly going to keep the war. Israel is going no were. not BC of europe ,the US or Iran but BC me and every Israeli and jewish person in the world will fight of our right for a country one tiny country!!. the plastinins not have to suffer if they will eccept the two state solution. as well as the Iranins

[ZYahood]

ma11ohad; the only offer on table is one state slution; forget about 2 or 3 or 4 state solutions that saudi and UAE offer. What have Saudi and UAE have done in the last 60 yeras? Nothing!

[ZYahood]

ma11ohad; Palestinains have as much rights as you guys claim! let's be fair!

[ma11ohad]

ZYahoos and a lot of other Arab and muslim cementers here. to bad for you 60 years ago the world and the UN declared Israel as a country. you keep refusing sharing the land for 60 years. the occupied territories from 1967 are illegal I agree take them and build Palestine. as long as you are dreaming on an Arab state instead of Israel the war will go on and you can not blame Israel or America or the UN it is and was always all your fault

[ZYahood]

ma11ohad; Israel is an illegal entity; UN cannot give Palestinians lands to Jews or anyone else because it is against the charter of UN. As for the USA, the people of USA already complaining about the cost of looking after Israel and as the economy of the USA is in a bad shape they may drop their support anytime soon! Israels main problem is that it cannot survive on its own for a single day. I hear that many Israelis are getting a second passport to run when the time comes.

[ma11ohad]

go tell it to the UN. Israel is a fact. and don't worry we are not going anywhere. no tell me what is your solution? if not a two state solution? let me guess wipe Israel of the map ... or is that I miss translation as well. for now it looks like Iranian gov is the one that the world is worry about.

[ZYahood]

ma11ohad; Israel is a not a fact but a reality today but so was the Apartheid South Africa a few years ago, and USSR, Yugoslavia, East Germany and other 70 countries that are not on the map today anymore! Black Death was a reality a century ago but today it is wiped out! I can give you 1000s of examples of the past realities that do not exist today and I am sure Israel will be one of the realities of the past in the near future.

[ma11ohad]

man I heared your president saying the same reticules things. you know what is the problem for you and your president. that Israel is a free open democratic country with free press. any one that want to check Israel is welcome to the country and the Knesset even Arab news groups. your country on the other hand well don't let me start. but the most impotent thing is that Israel is my only home I don't have any where to go so to get me out you will have to kill me and you CANT

[ZYahood]

ma11ohad; If Israel is a free democratic country why they take Palestinians lands and make settlements for the Jews? BTW I had a mouse in my house who said he would not go out so I had to kill him! I had to kill him because he was eating my food and messing my house!

[ZYahood]

ma11ohad; BTW Israel is a corrupt country, your ex-president was sacked after raping 3 women, and your last 3 pri-ministers were accused of bribe and corruption and taking money. Israel is a shit pool.

[ma11ohad]

see the beauty about democracy is that if our leaders do wrong we the people have the power to kick them out. you on the other hand stuck with you nut job until the end

[ma11ohad]

first I want to thank you for showing the world what your president really thinks. second about the settlements it brought us peace with Jordan and Egypt and we already left Gaza and next year we will leave the west bank and there Will be a two state solution BC Israel was though and BC of the settlements

[ma11ohad]

now about the mouse thing well first the middle east is not your home you wish it was but you are just part of it. and in this case the mouse as you call me is stronger and smarter and more advanced then you and have a better house then you and more freedom

[ZYahood]

1- I dont know how old you are so I am NOT going to use tough language. You do what you have to do to stay and we will do what we have to do to get you out, and we have plenty of time.

BTW the two state solution is not accepted by the vast majority of the Palestinians; even Abbas is scared of mentioning it. Palestinians dont want only the back garden back; they want the whole house back.

[ZYahood]

2- As you can see even Bushs two state solution has stuck in mud! He was hoping to get a peace agreement by the end of 2008 but situation only deteriorated further; nobody even speaks to Blair!

Smart or strong or advanced; the mouse MUST live the house; dead or alive.

[ZYahood]

3- Israel has killed too many Palestinians to be able to live in the area as their neighbours. The 5 million refugees will bring total devastation to Israel when they come back and that is why Bush wants to pay them money to stay where they are (i.e. stay refugees for ever!).

[ZYahood]

correction: the mouse MUST leave the house; dead or alive.

[ma11ohad]

ha they want it all really? well I know some Israelis that want it all so what? they can want you dont always get what you want. and a two state solution is the only fair solution. about you having time. well I give you 6 months before your president and the rest of the carzys are going home or to jail what ever comes or getting hung by their own poeple what ever comes first

[ZYahood]

ma11ohad; lol ... I read Israeli press on the web and I know what they tell you people. If they told you the truth all Israelis would be on the first flight out of Israel.

[sabamma848]

they can and will

[ma11ohad]

Ha I see now that you are Iranian well in that case I am less worry. My dad and Israel city engineer bulis Tehran in the 70's. you country will come to its seances.

[ZYahood]

gamingmaster14; what do you mean by average Iranian? How many Iranians are average and how many are non-average in your opinion? How many average and non-average Iranian do you know personally? You need to provide data and static when you make such bold statements that we usually hear from radio Israel and voice of America! Otherwise people may think you are making them up!

[babapoco]

down with pan farsism.down with rascist persian

[ZYahood]

babapoco; you stupid illiterate Jew, you should have said Persians! Where did you learn the English? In a barn?

[OneMoeAtheist]

I am from iran and go there regularly, everything you said is complete and pure nonsence

[ZYahood]

OneMoeAtheist; I agree with you and I think gamingmaster14 watches too much Israeli TV! He/she even talks like them!

[ZYahood]

AdenMutiny; I have no idea why people have flagged your comment as spam! But it shows that there is no freedom of expression in the west.

[themengsk176]

True muslim news network?

why would you want a news network based off of a religion?

we have something like that in the states.. it's called the 700 club, and it's biased and hard to take seriously.

[noracism11]

these persian demonstrators are vatan foroshe kesafat!!!u whould be demonstrating against Busdh. shah parastaye savak!!!! marg bar vatan forosh!!

[noracism11]

he is MORE legit than ANY US leader..get over yourself ...u are the biggest liers and want people to assume other leaders of the world are illigit, the only corrupt leaders are US leaders. Stop spreading lies!

[tube01123]

So Iran wants to build the worlds largest microwave oven...so what!!!!

[kamranat]

1,500,000,000 , 1/4 of the world :D kill all of them ;) <

[sabamma848]

you can try

[sabamma848]

ok murderer

[kamranat]

yeah , is all of them terrorist or ... ? look at u , think about it . use ur brain , instead of being brainwashed .

[ZYahood]

sabamma848; kamranat is ridiculing Ki11282; kamranat is trying to say that nobody can kill 1/4 of the population of earth.

BTW if I am not mistaken Muslim population is actually 1.7 billion not 1.5 billion.

[Sizzurp010]

Nice job mate

[jimiydoorshamelech]

If one day, the Islamic world is also equipped with weapons like those that Israel possesses now, then the imperialists' strategy will reach a standstill because the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything. However, it will only harm the Islamic world. It is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality. (December 2001)[31] (Hashemi Rafsanjani, former President of Iran, on expediency council of Iran, Considered a Moderate)

[941254]

Death to ur mom!

[sabamma848]

stand in the centre of tehran and shout that...

[andybulletbass]

over a million people died in Iraq.who are the real Terrorist?

[somethingawful01]

The protesters are a disgrace, demonstrating against Ahmadinejad. For two years they have been waiting to take over Iran but haven't been given permission unless the US are allowed to do what they are doing to Iraq and have permanent bases. Once I supported the Mojahedin, now they're a joke, a bad one at that. They are in no way an alternative to the current regime and might even be worse due to the deals they will have to strike with the US.

[BroadcasterChannel]

Bush: "...Threat to civilization"

lmao who writes his speeches??

[ikran2007]

these two man want war with iran

[artin74]

the protests are mojahedin khalgh .

[partlyfake666]

u know how are these guys that u interviewed? they have killed 20 thousands people during war between Iran and Iraq so how can u just let them to talk, their group known as terrorist by our government and Iranian government and they live in peace in USA so, it looks like we interview alqaeda and ask them about united state government do u think it can be rational? don't think so

[erby1kabogey]

Bush and Cheany should be jailed!

[DavidMB13]

You're all spouting these foolish theories, where if any educated person heard you saying these things they would chuckle at you. None of what you're saying is true, it's all lies told to you by your leaders to make you hate America and hate the west. It's a form of indoctrination, they are trying to control you people. You're free souls, learn to think for yourselves.. don't hate America and don't hate Israel.

[DavidMB13]

Every single one of you are controlled by the propoganda of the President. Don't you people want to live in freedom? Don't you want to be able to speak freely against the government and spread your own ideas? Don't you want a bright future for your children? Unlimited opportunities? Everyday you are taught to hate the US and to hate Jews. All the US wants is a free democratic world. We respect all religions and we allow all things. Come and join a world of freedom.. stray from the hate.

[ikran2007]

keep your freedom to yourself we have seen your freedom from planstain to iraq, afg and somali.

[TuRKo86]

The usa says they fight against countries who does unright things.

I ask u why couldnt the fight against russia after the georgia problem???

is usa afraid?!

[TuRKo86]

the usa lyes and fights against countries who has petrol.

And the killed babies women and soo many other civilists

now you get your punishment, for example the ike or you finance and i think there will happen more and more catastrophe.

[cds10690]

war is coming with iran..

6 weeks tops

the us needs to have it's people look to this war so we "forget" about the economy..

[upfran]

yes, wat u say its true, the media is emphasizing on the war but not on the inner impact of america economy. The jews AIPAC has already taking over the whole important top position in america including medias etc.

[jerkinp]

These people that are protesting are not true Iranians. Otherwise they would know the history of Iran and how it was America that destroyed democracy and free media. One of America phases in over throwing democratically elected leader was bribing 70% of the Iranian media to spread lies about Mossadeq; from being homosexual to drinking blood of infants.

[hamechicoloft]

MKO oraganization is in the US terrorist list.

They killed thousands of kords in Iraq and assisted Saddam Hossein. US supposes to ban their offices.

I wondering how some hundreds can protest against Iranian government in US soil.

It looks like the protest are funded and supported by some Zionist Jews.

[marhahs]

the truth is that: iran is alone in fighting two things: 1. being under west (usa) control 2. being under islamic republic. these are difficult. but 5000 years of brilliant history shows that WE CAN MANAGE BOTH. long live iran!

[xxashyy]

I believe this "iranian opposition" could be controlled opposition. The two iranians i saw calling for so called regime change didnt sound or look like iranians to me. They look like jews. I could be wrong but im very suspicious of this.

[oceanbound222]

Izrael wants to be the ONLY superpower in the region so it can bully, intimidate, bomb, and scare everyone else.

[conduit99]

Quite a few of those protesters were Iranian Jews, but I cant stand those "secular" Iranians who protest to the West -The SAME West (and even the same country--U.S.) that toppled their democratically elected leader (Mossadeq) after he kicked out the Brits who were stealing their Oil. Now they ask those SAME countries that they want them to help bring "democracy" to Iran? What idiots.

[Yemilady]

iranians in America have no right to call for Regime change in Iran, since they don't live there:)

its exactly like what Chalabi was doing here in the US in the days before the invasion of Iraq, thinking of his interests alone and not the Iraqi's on the ground.

[nuttierthanthou]

Bush is talking about countries sponsoring "teror" while he kills millions

[alinorozi]

Shame on these sold Iranis demonstrating to be ruled by dictators, perpetrators and the modern feudalists like USA (as it used to be in form of Shah). They want someone like Shah, who will lead them to be a faithful followers of west especially USA. And they are seeking help from United Nations of Looters. Well from their agenda they are on the right hands. They want to surrender their sick wills to the looters. So its clear what they want.

[suskky]

Great interview..
