This guy, Paul, is full of shit, he needs to shut the f... up, he is a lier and doesnt deserve any respect. What does it take to put a forest on fire, a match. he admits the west supports MKO, the most fierce armed opposition group who faught along side of saddam war against Iran. BTW, watch how the host defers comment against Egypt, a government that failed in 2011.

Good job by the two Iranians.

[0077samuel]

do thay care about iranian people so much? why? why not about Saudi? why not Egypt or Jordan? I think Iranian are smart enough and know why,,,

[cyrusWWW]

iran is not gaining from the mullah regime they are red in the face because they just know how to lie so much with out evidence to back it up oh yes a liar does not have what u call evidence

[doi9r]

iranians thrown out during the shah regime go red in the face when they know Iran is prospering under Khamenei. sad that these iranians prefer their carnal desires to islamic regime.shame on such people!

[nilo723]

Zendebaad Ahmadinejad!

[kujirasan202020]

Go to BBC on Venezuelan, is completely negative, and during the coup against Chvez, BBC virtually presented the coup leader as people who should had been power long ago, there is no doubted that BBC is fucked up and biased, but more glib more persuasive and therefore more pernicious, there is not one bad comments about UAE, Saudi, Kuwait where women are not allowed to even drive a car(Saudi Arabia) let alone being democratic etc , so fuck BBC

[najihoma]

fuck press tv ridam to risheh harchi basije khayemaleh

[bananito2]

It is not a british tactic is an experienced jew strategy remember:

bolcheviq-mencheviq, capitalism-socialism, right-left politicians, black-white, rich-poor,

zar-labor force.

divide and rule

they might have not created, but they are masters when it comes to operation.

Fucking coward pigs

[Hesam0000]

Yes it's an old British tactic so that they can sit back & watch their enemies kill eachother.

But it backfired this time because it multiplied Iran's power by destroying the only other major power in the area & handing Iraq to Iran.

I'm guessing this was pre-planned too. About 2 years ago when the threat to attack Iran was allover the news I was telling everyone that US won't attack Iran because Bush is a Nazi & Iranians are mostly Aryans so it made sense. Bush indirectly helped Iran bigtime.
