they are all able to speak english. The reason why they do not speak english is to maintain national sovereignty, in the sense that, why should they be able to speak english when they are persian speaking persians.

@toohnooch im iranian stupid fuck. I do not support any of USA's actions but that does not mean i support the regime which kills its own people, We are not talking about Nato or USA or any of that stuff. We are talking about the regimes behavior towards its own people. Shooting into crowds of unarmed peop[le from rooftops with assault rifles, mass rapes, mass tortures, the people in Iran are not aligned witht he government right now. They do not support them.

@tupacIzAlive33 first of all tupac isn't alive, i know iran and all the regimes in this region , not a europian or american that will tell me how it is in my region all the muslims love iran, if all the regimes in our region are like iran no more usa nato soldiers will be left here , when Iran as a country was a shithole we as its neighbours was the first to cretisis it, now after the blessed revolution all sects in middle east has nothing against it, usa should fight it's wars home (USA)

@toohnooch iran has the 4th largest oil reserves in the world, and 2nd largest natural gas reserves in the world, i dunno where u got ur numbers form, so iran has alot of both oil and gas, 2nd of all iran is not a free nation, very few iranians will tell u that iran is a "free" nation, free nations do not have rigged elections, free nations do not open fire on their own people from rooftops, free nations do not torture their own citzizens, free nations do not force ppl to wear certain clothes

[antekification]

GO IRAN DOWN WITH US/ZIONIST AGGRESSION AND LIES!

[toohnooch]

@mancity1000 first of all iranians has gaze not oil !! and they have the fouth biggest reserve, you're judging them for their intention which you clain to be aware of! iranians should have nuclear bombs, it will be stupid not to have them, see what happened to iraq? this happened cause they had no bombs, plus iranians doesn't care about what americans or europians might say, they're a free nation not like A.S, UAE Egypt etc most corrupt govs on earth but still supported and protected by usa

@mancity1000 2. The US and UK, by luck or fate, do not have outsider nations seeking to overthrow their regimes. The US dedicates billions each year to support anti-government elements, and makes no secret of its 'regime change' driven motivations. Have a a look at the Venezuela case.

Mousavi declared victory before the ballots were counted. When they disclosed that he had in fact lost, he cried wolf and claimed fraud. Why didn't he mention fraud when he omnisciently declared himself victor?
