Personally I find the war between the US and Iran less than convincing.
In 1979, the ruthless Islamic extremist regime of Ayatollah Khomeini was installed by Anglo-American intelligence, and Iran has been very good to the big oil corporations ever since.

The 3 January assassination of General Qasem Soleimani doesn’t really change this: https://forums.richieallen.co.uk/showthr...579&page=6


Current Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is another crooked lawyer.
Not all of the information in the following article is confirmed by the “independent” Wikipedia (and I haven’t been able to confirm everything)….
Rouhani changed his family name from Fereidun (or Fereydoun or Fereydun).

In 1970s, Rouhani was educated in England, learning textile design and English.

In the 1990s, Rouhani studied for 6 years at the privately owned Caledonian University in Glasgow, Scotland, which gave him a PhD in “Islamic law” (in 1999).
This was arranged by none other by Jack Straw (Secretary of various offices in the British government for most of 1997 to 2010): https://www.orient-news.net/en/news_show...-elections

In 2014, Tehran’s only Jewish hospital, the Dr. Sapir Hospital and Charity Center, received $400,000 from the government of President Hassan Rouhani.
The cash was delivered by Rouhani’s brother, Hossein Fereydoon: http://web.archive.org/save/https://www....world&_r=0


During the Anglo-American orchestrated Islamic coup of 1979, the Dr. Sapir Hospital and Charity Center was one of the very few (the only) that helped the wounded “revolutionaries” without reporting them to the notorious SAVAK.
Ayatollah Khomeini himself wrote a personal thank you note to the hospital after the coup succeeded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Sapir_...ity_Center


Mohammad Zarif is another lawyer, who was the Foreign Affairs Minister in Iran from July 2013 to February 2019.
In 1977, when he was a teenager, Zarif left Iran to study in the US. Zarif attended private college-preparatory high school Drew College Preparatory School in San Francisco, California. He later studied at San Francisco State University, from which he gained a Master degree in 1982.

In San Francisco, Zarif joined the Islamic Student Association and made friends who later became political figures in Iran, including the brother of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Iranian president from 1989 to 1997.

Zarif continued his studies at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver, from which he obtained a Ph.D. in international law and policy in 1988: https://www.france24.com/en/20190226-zar...clear-deal

After the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran by Islamist students in 1979, Zarif was sent to shut down Iran's consulate in San Francisco.
Both of his children were born in the United States.

Zarif later protested at the Iranian mission to the United Nations, where the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations offered him a job in May 1982.

Zarif has spent more time with John Kerry than any other foreign minister in the world: https://edition.cnn.com/2015/04/03/middl...index.html


Zarif was Iran's representative at the UN from 2002 to 2007

In 2016, Zarif with John Kerry shared the Chatham House Prize (awarded by the Royal Institute of International Affairs, a.k.a. Chatham House): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Javad_Zarif

Qasem Soleimani wasn’t the first high Iranian official that was silenced for knowing too much or being a threat to the Iranian regime.

In 1977, Hassan Rouhani delivered the eulogy for Khomeini’s dead son, who supposedly committed “suicide”.

In 1992, Rouhani’s son reportedly committed “suicide” by shooting himself with his father’s pistol.
According to Seyed Hossein Mousavian, who was very familiar with Rouhani, Rouhani’s son was assassinated on a military base in southern Tehran “on political grounds”.

In June 2001, Leila Pahlavi, daughter of the Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi who died in Egypt, also supposedly committed “suicide”.

In 2011, Alireza Pahlavi, son of the former shah of Iran, also died of a reported “suicide”.
Alireza Pahlavi was also educated in the US. He obtained a B.A. from Princeton University in 1984 and a masters degree from Columbia University in 1992 and later attended Harvard University: https://heavy.com/news/2018/07/rouhani-s...extremism/
