EU to Continue Sanctions against Iran

Pending Comprehensive Agreement on Nuclear Program
The EU Council of Ministers today decided to continue sanctions imposed against Iranian entities and persons, including wide-ranging sanctions on Iran oil industry and banking and financing sector. In January, the EU as part of the Joint Plan of Action (JPOA) agreement with Iran lifted some sanctions. (AFP, 14 March)


Today’s decision leave the bulk of sanctions, including the all-important oil and banking sanctions, intact pending a comprehensive agreement with Iran over its nuclear program.

It's really hard to understand what the hell these Mullahs are doing. The country is a hell, rampant with lies, theft, corruption, drug use, prostitution and every immorality and evil imaginable -- so forget the bullshit about creating an Islamic state. The economy is destroyed. The nuclear program won't get them anything of value. If they're not careful, the people and/or the west will get fed up that they'll throw them out and kill/imprison their families as happened to Saddam/Qaddafi etc.

What is the Mullah's plan and purpose?

Mullahs have NO PLAN, just self survival and selling Iran down the drain. It is amazing that the illiterate Mullahs can't even take advantage of the Russia/Crimea situation and get a better deal for Iran in terms of sanctions relief and Russian arms. Pretty soon it looks like the whole world will be under sanctions of some type by the US and its UK and French poodles.

No surprise here, they need to keep the pressure on when the negotiation is ongoing. EU badly needs leverage in its negotiation with Russia on Ukraine and until it finds an secure alternative energy supplier it is powerless to affect the situation. Iran has the second largest proven natural gas reserves in the world and the fourth largest proven petroleum reserves - it is probably the only real alternative to Russia. Now is the time for both parties to seize the moment and reach a deal.

The answer is an uncomfortable 'YES'. Russia would understand that. Hey, who am I to advise?

"What is the Mullah's plan and purpose?"

The destruction of Iran as a nation and converting it into Shia Arab Empire with Iraq Syria and Lebanon. After all one of the mullah's in Iran by the name of Tieb said,"Syria is more important than Khuzestan." And another said,"Thinking only of being Iranian and striving for Iran is anti-Islamic." Meaning,lets give Iran's blood to the Arabs and make Iranians into third class citizens.
That is their purpose.But it won't work. Koor Khoondan.

That wouldn't be a terrible plan if it were true, but it's not realistic. For one thing Iraq doesn't want to turn back into a pariah state that is sanctioned by the world.

I'm not sure whether to classify this as delusion or lunacy.
