offsite link Is the War Against Iran in British or European Interests? Sun Jun 22, 2025 15:00 | Noah Carl
A collapse of the Iranian state would not be in Britain or the rest of Europe's interests. There could be another mass exodus of refugees to Europe?just like the one in 2015, only larger.

Tehran will not and cannot accept US demands

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Friday March 27, 2009 19:07author by Anne McShane Report this post to the editors

Yassamine Mather outlines why the demands put on Iran by Obama cannot be met. Yassamine also analyses developments regarding the upcoming elections in Iran. Full article at the link.

Obama’s message to Iranians to mark Norooz, the Iranian new year, was hailed by sections of the media as “unprecedented” and “historic”, offering a new beginning in Iran-US relations. It was therefore inevitable that when ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme religious leader, dismissed the message as consisting of meaningless slogans, Middle East and Iran ‘analysts’ expended a lot of effort trying to put a positive spin on a very unambiguous negative response.

It is quite clear that the Obama administration has no intention of lifting sanctions against Iran - in fact earlier this month US sanctions were renewed. According to an Israeli newspaper, “Senior US officials are preparing to present Obama with a plan for dialogue with Iran on its nuclear programme, including increased international sanctions against Tehran.”
