  • Why is "The Real News" seeming to be promoting the Bush/Obama black operations designed to overthrow the Iranian government. What is the background of your guests? Are they remnants of the Shah's regime.?I understand his son is ready to come back and be an American puppet like his Papa. Most governments are corrupt so this guy is naive. The Real News better give this a better think.

  • Its always nice to listen petty-bourgeoisie dreamers like their guest that talk in defense of un-defensible.

    Especially talking about RATIONs in 80s, passing them as subsidies. What plain ignorance, or lying.

    Real News media should interview number of people from Iran, right now, be that officials or regular people.

  • I WONDER WHAT THE AMERICAN GOVERMENT WOULD DO IF AMERICANS GO OUT IN THE STREETS AND START USING VIOLENCE TRYING TO OVERTHROW THEIR GOVERMENT,THEY WOULD DO THE EXACT SAME THING AS IRAN,EGYPT,LYBIA ETC,OR WHAT,WOULD THEY LET THEM START THROWING ROCKS,BOTTLES AND OTHER ITEMS AT POLICE AND DON'T EXPECT THEN TO BE SHOT? POLICE HAD SHOT AMERICANS FOR MUCH LESS THAN THAT SO DON'T COME HERE AND TRY TO LOOK TO MAKE IRAN LIKE A BAD GUY! PEOPLE GET SHOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PROTESTING PEACEFULLY!

  • @Erh4bi I've lived in iran as an atheist and it's illegal. tell me a socialist in iran that is legally acting against government?

  • @Erh4bi LOL! you have no idea what your talking about, after the mujaheds the communist and left wingers has got more death penalties than any other representations of opposition. Mahmud ahmadinejad has given more than once anti communist statements.

    atheism IS banned in Iran as a crime of communism. I'm iranian, what are you?

  • At least Venezuela is a new world order free zone

  • fuck you west.

    you can not stop iran

  • chavez support iran because of his anti-imperialist action and because he is concerned that USA might attack iran.

    He also wants to help palestine.

    Ahmadinejad and Chavez are from 2 different sides.

    Cavez is lef, Mahmoud is Right winger.

    Chavez is Socialist. In iran Socialism and Atheism are forbidden by the threath of death penalty. So if USA would leave Iran alone, chavez would stop supporting iran.

    And yes I'm Iranian

  • US - PROPAGANDA.... this is very professionally made up and psychologically someone has done some efforts... but....

  • Latin America do NOT want the USA here.

  • One thing missing from Western news is intelligent, constructive criticism of left wing governments from a leftwing perspective. So this is welcome. Like the interviewee I appreciate a lot of what Chávez has done, and I understand the sense of strategic alliances with Iran, for example, but I think Chávez is misguided in embracing certain figures to such an extent, apparently just because they have been slandered by rightwing propaganda. It doesn't make them "good guys".

  • Dear Paul Jay. I appreciate The Real News enormously, and have donated. ONE THING:

    It's "Chávez" with the accent on the first syllable.

    Thank you! :)
