If this government in Iran can collapse, that would be awesome. Probably won't happen, but at least Iran is suffering since Trump ended the absolute treasonous deal Obama made with them.

Quote:The Trump Administration knows exactly how to handle the despotic government of Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism: On Sunday Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif admitted to the Iran Chamber of Congress that the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal would have “very dangerous consequences” for the country.

With protests mounting in the country against the government in full swing, what Zarif is likely referring to is the fact that any more pressure on Iran’s economic system and the government will fall. As Reuters reported, “The Iranian rial plunged to a record low against the U.S. dollar on the unofficial market on Sunday, continuing its slide amid fears of returning U.S. sanctions after President Donald Trump in May withdrew from a deal on Tehran’s nuclear program. The dollar was being offered for as much as 87,000 rials, compared to around 75,500 on Thursday, the last trading day before Iran’s weekend, according to foreign exchange website Bonbast.com, which tracks the unofficial market.”

All I can do is chuckle at the thought of the wailing on the left brought on by a collapse of the Iranian government which was brought on by the US pulling out of that agreement.

It would be a thing of beauty.

LMMFAO.......who'd a thunk it.....

wow.....the USD is the biatch master in today's global commerce......

all we could have done was screw that pooch more with dems in control.....

Peace through vitrification.

Whatever happens we stay out of it. No military action from us is necessary.

My thought exactly.

But, I don't think the people of Iran are likely to fall to into complete chaos and a failed terror state like what happened in Libya, situations in Syria, Yemen, etc.

Look at the footage of those protests, have them chanting in English and it could look like they were in anywhere-ville Western nation.

They were a very westernized Country a generation or two ago. And if one thing is/was clear in watching some of these World Cup games in Russia, when they can get out of town they take quick advantage of living the life others are able to enjoy.

Our real beef has never been with the people of Iran, least not to my knowledge, but with the Fundy Mullahs and ruling jerks at the top.

My Dad traveled all over the world with his work and had many colleagues in Iran. A number even stayed in our house a night or two until they got settled into their place to stay for a few weeks. Always pleasant meeting them, never batted an eye.

It seems strange to say it now, but two of his "favorite" places where Iran and Pakistan. He kinda liked Afghanistan too (the mutton got old).

I've got a massive hookah on a shelf in my garage that he brought home from one of those places. Ha.

A collapse in the Iranian government might engender a far more right wing/theocratic regime in Iran.

Yeah, I'm afraid we could get a religiously-fanatical goverment that will back Hezbollah, threaten to build nuclear weapons to eradicate all Israelis, and allow terrorists safe passage through their territory to attack the US.......wait, what?

A collapse in Iran is not good for us right now.

The issues there and surround them are much broader and wider ranging than the Trump administration.

Nah. The present administration is bad enough. It's a nine and a half in a scale of ten. Even Erdogan is not as bad as they are...but not by much.

If that starts to happen, it's time to make Teheran glow in the dark for a millennium.
