'Dreadful' future awaits world if nuclear deal collapses: Iran's Salehi
2018-06-23
[PRESSTV] Iran's nuclear chief says the Middle East and the entire world will face a "dreadful" future if a 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement Tehran signed with the P5+1 group of countries falls apart.

Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi made the remarks on Friday in an address to an expert panel held on the sidelines of the Oslo Forum in the presence of Norwegian and Omani foreign ministers.

He said the international community showed a severe reaction to the United States' "unwise and baseless" decisions, including its move to withdraw from the nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

"If the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
 and other countries supporting the JCPOA do not demonstrate their practical opposition to the US policies in due time, they will face a dreadful future and unprecedented insecurity in the region and the world because of the JCPOA's collapse," AEOI chief said.

#2  About 87% of Iran's Oil is located in a single Province. ( Iran's WALLET is hemmed by the Zagros mountains and only five roads over and that can be interdicted by air superiority from an Air Craft Carrier )This Province is located on the border with Iraq. Its population is.( The USMC can hit the coast easily and take out the ONLY N/S rail line in Iran) largely Arab and NOT Persian. Iran has a population of perhaps 70 million. 16 million are NOT Persian. In many cases there are language and cultural divisions within the Iranian body politic and Demographics. Persians are "dominant" and regard Azeris as Cockroaches for instance. Azeris resent this . That sort of thing. Also Iran is largely Shiite and "other things". Iranians are notorious for the lack of homogeneity ( shall we say) in their factions and schisms of a religious flavor. Iran is NOTORIOUS for its Islamic disputes and nit picking. Iran is a whole world of nit picking when it comes to what Isalm is all about. In a word, they argue a lot and its just a hair below the surface that they tend to hate each other for "little things" of an irritating nature concerning the smiling face of Allah. Iran is FERTILE ground for religious division. Let's just say they are always bubbling toward 212* F and anything can set it off if it just happens to be a bad day.
One out of 20 Iranians are too familiar with drugs....Pakistan raises a LOT of Poppies and even MORE are raised in Afghanistan and Sistan Province passes the refined product to the whole world ( and the Iranian military get shot up in there regularly. I think it would be safe to say that Persian writ doesn't go all that far in Sistan. Heroin is sold cheaper than a pint of milk in Iran. Smuggling is, what word shall I use RIFE in Iran. And with the Sanctions it has a very BRIGHT future. Lots of things to exploit in Iran. Not to mention the Prostitution problem outside the gates of the local madrasa Seminaries. Big graveyards near the Seminaries, and big flat stones on many of the graves. You can find "ladies" sitting on the big flat stone grave markers. Ask one if they are "lonely". Iran is an interesting place and has a few "problems". If the CIIA (bureaucratic squirrels ) weren't so incompetent they might learn to speak Farsi.
