The ASK YOUR QUESTIONS RE IRAN THREAD

[amarynth]

Sovereignista is collecting public questions on Iran and the complete sphere surrounding the MoU.  There is a real concern among stalwart supporters of resistance that what we see happening now, is an infiltration by external sources.  This is how empire works.  They don’t give up, and if they cannot do it via war, they will do it via infiltrating the Iranian community.  We are concerned that we see a split in the Iranian community that is not dissipating. The infiltration signs are there, although I for one do  not want to tie specifics to it right now.

So here, our list of questions if you please.   These questions will be edited and sent to Iranian commentators and those that we respect directly in the Iranian community.  Not in the Saudi community, not in the Pakistan community as even people like Alastair Crooke said that Pakistan is working for Pakistan, not in the Doha community – but directly to Iran.

Don’t miss this opportunity to ask exactly what you are unsure about, or perhaps just want to put on record.

Lest we forget:

“Imprisoned former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir have been locked in a fierce, escalating power struggle. The feud, dating back to 2019 when Khan removed Munir as head of the ISI spy agency, has seen Khan routinely accuse Munir from prison of being a “mentally unstable tyrant” and attempting to destroy his party.”

My first question:

What does the Iranian wider community think of the so-called security bloc being proffered made up of Saudi-Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan and a few other hangers on like for example Egypt or Turkey?   Why can we not see Russia or China involved in this?

Our world is stuck in a transition period fraught with uncertainty. The achievements of a strong and sovereign Iran have brought new glimmers of hope for the birth of a more equitable multipolar world.

But there are now reports concerning some conflicts in the Iranian government (which, given its democratic structure, are perhaps quite reasonable and to be expected) and reports concerning certain potentially major geopolitical shifts and projects relating to the development of “new power structures” and a “new security architecture” in West Asia.
We also know that, in view of the humiliation suffered by the US and its zionist appendix, their war against Iran will now be intensely fought on other, covert levels – including sophisticated agendas of infiltration.

Thus, we – who stand with Iran for the preservation of its full sovereignty – have a number of burning questions regarding recent reports:

Why is the Iranian Parliament still closed?

What is the current state of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei’s health?

What were actually the reasons for Qalibaf, Araghchi and senior Central Bank and security officials wanting to take part in the MoU talks in Switzerland when Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, some of the IRGC and the majority of the citizens were against it?

The core 14 points of the MoU have been made public, but apparently certain “specific side deals” remain unpublicized to allegedly “protect the fragile initial peace process”. Why?

According to “US administration officials”, the unwritten agreements involve an unpublicised letter from Tehran inviting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to resume active inspections – is this true?

Two weeks ago we heard certain claims that Iran was apparently ready to “detonate a nuclear bomb on its territory” if threatened, that Iran was thus already in possession of a nuclear bomb… Now there is no mention of this “bombshell report”. What was this claim based on? And why has this claim quietly disappeared without being debunked or retracted?

What is Pakistan’s role in West Asia with regard to Iran beyond being a “mediator” for negotiations with the US?

Pakistan seems to be seeking greater influence in West Asia… What is Pakistan interested in achieving for itself? What are its goals?

Have we forgotten Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir’s illegal imprisonment and reprehensible, criminal treatment of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan?

Have we forgotten Pakistan’s alliance with its founder Great Britain and with the US and lately with “Israel”?

We hear reports of a BLOC being formed in the region of West Asia by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar – to act as a new power structure and to create a “security architecture”, with Pakistan offering a “nuclear umbrella” in the region. What agreements are being discussed?

What does the Iranian wider community think of the so-called security BLOC being proffered made up of Saudi-Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan and a few other hangers-on like Egypt or Turkey?

There are claims that China and even Russia support this BLOC – what are the sources of these claims? Why should we believe these claims when the sources are supposed to remain secret? Why should we trust “secret top-level sources in Pakistan”? Why can’t we see any signs that Russia or China are somehow involved in this?

Who else is involved or will be involved in this BLOC?

What about the Emirates, Kuwait, Turkey, Egypt, Syria (under Al Qaeda Jolani)?  Is the Muslim Brotherhood playing any role in this BLOC?

Every country in the world has oligarchs who usually keep their assets outside of their countries; Iran’s oligarchs most probably have their assets in banks in Gulf countries. How can or how do the oligarchs in Iran want to salvage their money in offshore banks?

Why did the Sultanate of Oman issue a statement on 25 June announcing the establishment of a temporary maritime corridor in the southern Strait of Hormuz without consultation with Iran?

[amarynth]

Another question … The supposed Bloc : who is trading with Israel?  (I know the answer but let’s go with the questions – all of them!)

[Periol]

Why did the fighting stop before victory was completely won?  Israel is not acting like they think they were defeated.  USA is not acting like they think they were defeated.  I do not understand why the reaction to the blockade was not to send more missiles at Israel.  I do not understand why the genocide in South Lebanon was and is allowed to continue.

i may be OT i hope not…it’s possible What Days are neither isolated nor unconnected:  pepe & larry johnson have a new site!    here nima interviews pepe about it.  yes, i have reservations about lj & why pepe has committed  himself to this association—irregardless, he has.

pepe has made more than two recent declarations that are well outside of the streaming narrative (nukes & pakistan)…could it be possible we may find some answers to some of our questions?

 

the link is to nima & pepe, where nima introduces us to pepe & lj’s latest site, if anyone wants to check it out you can listen to pepe chatting about it:

Just copying all the comments from the main thread to here.  This information will be collated and discussed with Iranians.  So, this is kinda my open folder for everyone.

By Grieved and of course, much appreciated:

As a friend of Iran and this site, I would like to make a suggestion. All these questions are worthy of pondering, in the back of one’s mind. But one should also be very aware that a serpent is in the Garden offering the apple.

Israel is actively poisoning the mind space with questions similar to these. Nima cites Elijah Magnier at 7:44 of this interview with Alex Krainer regarding Unit 8200 and its current offensive:

Nima around 9-min mark says how he sees a lot of the negative “Iran-Questioning” in his own comments, and both people see this everywhere currently. Krainer’s answer is compelling, agreeing with Nima that the Resistance is solidifying, not disintegrating – it is the west and Irael that is disintegrating.

And Iran tends to hold to its announced positions, therefore, supposes Krainer, it will persist with this 60-day period of disussion (if it’s even begun yet), even as it prepares for the next stage of the war.

It’s formidably hot in Iran in the curent season. Autumn may be the preferred time for the US to attack again.

These questions you raise are all worthy of holding in the back of one’s mind – a few of them I could present decent answers to, perhaps. And several of them I share with you also. But to amplify my suggestion, I personally will try to keep all these questions at a quiet level, and remember that the Iranian people are clear-minded and doubt-free as to the way forward, as is the Leader, and the IRGC (and Ghalibaf, I am convinced).

Even as I quietly ponder, I will wait for the next significant thing to happen on the ground (and to see how the treachery from Oman is resolved, kinetically).

We all fear that Iran will weaken in its resolve. The Iranian people fear this most of all. But the data is not yet manifest to say that this is happening. Therefore I shall hold the line, and wait, and keep my questions active, but not anxious.

~~

ps..forgive the rambling. I can feel the effect of doubt on my own spirits, and I would wish to allay this, in myself and in others, at least until the shape of things becomes more clear. As always, our minds move much faster than the unfolding of events.

It may come down to a matter of attitude, since the only real facts so far are those of unquestionable victory.

[amarynth]

My response:

Of course you have an excellent point.

This small initiative is powered by Iranian questions. So, I feel good asking Iranian questions in the main, in solidarity with the Iranians. What they feel uncomfortable about, we feel uncomfortable about. They are willing to put it into the light, and so are we, or let me speak for myself only, but I am not alone in this.

Prof Marandi explained a number of times now, Iranian civil conversation is democratic (in the real sense of the word) and plentiful. He says openly that he receives similar questions when he is out on the squares in the evenings and he mentions them and answers them.

The gaslighting now is unbelievable. And my fear is what was not done in the war, and what cannot be done with the MoU, is now again being attempted in divide and rule inside the Iranian society. In fact, the Zionist say so publicly. They are trying again. This has nothing to do with mistrust in the very brilliant Iranian society (to the contrary) but much to do with the skill in which empirical forces carry out these gaslighting campaigns. There is a campaign – in fact, more than one – I count three. My own position currently is that Pakistan will climb all over Iran, in order to carry out their own campaign for regional primacy. We saw such a campaign in Syria and the Syrian forces were literally made unable to opérate. (There were many other issues. I’m talking about this one only as it has relevance).

To decide what to put into the light, and what to quietly ponder is a decision of wisdom.

Open campaigns to divide (and rule) the Iranian society must be put into the light. We are one with Iran. Prof Hudson said in his latest interview (Nima, Wolff), that the issue of religious differences is being fiercely used yet again. He said a few other things that are important, more or less in the middle of that interview. In these campaigns we, together with Iran, is being gaslighted to trust the Saudis and the Qataris. Words are being put into their mouths. We saw that specifically during Marco Rubio’s visit to the region – words that I have not seen them speak. Example, see how he spoke for Oman. Now it is a fact that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia has an agreement of a military nature, maybe couched in defensive nature terminology. It is being bellowed out that Pakistan has something like .. geez, I forget, anything from 8 thousand to orders of magnitude more, soldiers in Saudi Arabia. FM Lavrov talks about this but he talks about a regional security architecture. This is one of the questions that I quietly ponder. If this war breaks out again, and from Saudi the USRael uses bases (if there are any left) to stage strikes on Iran it will cause a conflagration unbelievable. This is one of those that I quietly ponder. But now, you know what one of my ‘quietly ponder items’ include. (Don’t tell anybody .. grins!)

Let me say one thing more. We see it from Russia who ditched the ‘spirit of Alaska’. In principle Russia tried yet again for the umpteenth time for peace and security in the region. And again, according to Rubio, there was not a spoken agreement. So, he is saying Putin and Lavrov are telling fibs (he did not say that out loud, but that is what it amounts to). I’m using this as example.

For me, this issue on the whole is of critical importance. Iran is making MoU with a part of the world that is criminally unable to be true to their word and still criminally able to break others apart. The Iranian civil society is quite within their rights, and full of wisdom to ask these questions because the collective west is of no mind to stop a war. To the contrary, they would like it to continue because still to today, they want to own the oil.

in the spirit of Questions asked/answered/closed or enshrined within our mind sending love & hoping for the best…i decided to brace myself, skip most of lj & settle back to learn what pepe had to say.  who knows? it may be important, why else would pepe set up a site (with a once CIA always CIA always uniformed in a questionable shirt) to deliver a grenade which risks blowing up his reputation?

here goes:
