Bitcoin helps Iranian shoe store overcome international trade sanctions

Posted on by

“The business is Persian Shoes, an over 70-year-old business selling handmade footwear. It is located inIsfahan, the third-largest city in Iran.  The owners are happy to ship anywhere, but paying them is a problem. The usual e-commerce channels are blocked.  Trade sanctions against the entire country of Iran by the United Nations, United States, European Union and others mean Western Union and major credit card companies will not deal with Iranian businesses, even those in the fashion world. The only way to pay someone in Iran is with cash carried in your pocket – or some easily transferrable, mostly unregulated, digital currency.”

Persian Handmade Shoes: Why Bitcoin

Posted on by

“Why don’t you accept other forms of payment?  The short answer is we’d love to but we can’t!  Our business is making and selling leather products. We like to sell our products across the world and the more customers the better. The problem is we operate in Iran and most payment systems either are not willing to serve us at all or impose a huge risk on our business.”

Sheldon Adelson: US should drop atomic bomb on Iran

Posted on by

“Sheldon Adelson, noted businessman and owner of the newspaper Israel Hayom, suggested that the US should use nuclear weapons on Iran to impose its demands from a position of strength.  Adelson then imagined what might happen if an American official were to call up an Iranian official, say ‘watch this,’ and subsequently drop a nuclear bomb in the middle of the Iranian desert.  ‘Then you say, ‘See! The next one is in the middle of Tehran. So, we mean business. You want to be wiped out? Go ahead and take a tough position and continue with your nuclear development.”

“Terrorism” for Foreigners is “Exceptionalism” for Washington

Posted on by

“Some defenders of the CIA’s Iranian coup claim that it was justified because Mossadegh’s government was nationalizing US and British oil companies in Iran. If that action is defensible, why shouldn’t the Iranian government stage a coup to retaliate for the US government’s seizure of an Iranian-owned office building near Rockefeller Center? The seizure is being carried out under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which supposedly gives the government authority to confiscate terrorism-related assets. When foreign governments confiscate assets, Washington calls it terrorism. When Washington does the same, it’s called ‘American exceptionalism.'”

Lindsey Graham Should Have Visited Iran

Posted on by

“Has Senator Graham examined the continuing tragedy of Fallujah and its people in order to understand what one of his previous wars has wrought? Or he is an ignorant man? Or has he turned a blind eye? Or doesn’t he care? Or is he so full of himself, so distant from common people, and so taken up with abstractions of power that he is living in another world?  If he’d visit Iran, he’d find that its people are going about their business much as in America. Their degree of ‘control’ over Iran is not much different from what an American can claim is his control over America. Here are some establishments selling confections in Iran.”

Lindsey’s Plan for War on Iran

Posted on by

“By equating Iran’s ‘nuclear program’ with a ‘nuclear bomb’ program, Graham reveals that his bottom line is not Obama’s bottom line, but Benjamin Netanyahu’s.  Obama has said only that Iran must not be allowed to build a bomb. Bibi says Iran must not have a nuclear program.  Yet, make no mistake. The goal of Graham, the neocons, Israel and Saudi Arabia is not a negotiated solution permitting a peaceful nuclear program in Iran. The goal is a U.S. war to smash Iran.  On Nov. 10, 2010, Graham let it all out: ‘Instead of a surgical strike on their nuclear infrastructure, I think we’re to the point now that you have to really neuter the regime’s ability to wage war against us and our allies.'”

Sen. Lindsey Graham to seek authorization for U.S. attack on Iran

Posted on by

“Graham now says he will work with a bipartisan group of senators to craft a resolution authorizing the president to use military force — not against the Syrian regime but against Iran. In an appearance on Fox News’ Huckabee program over the weekend, Graham argued that such a resolution is essential, because American inaction in Syria will encourage Iran to go forward with its nuclear weapon program, eventually leading toward a Mideast conflagration if the U.S. doesn’t intervene.”

Eric Margolis: US Struggle With Iran’s Peace Offensive

Posted on by

eric-margolis2

“Iran is now making a major push to convince the world it has no nuclear weapons ambitions, starting with its spiritual leader, Ayatollah Khomenei who has issued a fatwa condemning all nuclear weapons.  The logical course for the United States to follow is to welcome Iran’s overtures and restore normal relations between the two powers. An Iran aligned to the outside world is less likely to be troublesome than the angry, frightened, besieged Iran of today.  Furthermore, Washington has at some point got to accept that Iran is an influential regional power with its own legitimate interests.”

Iran’s new president promises: We will never make nuclear weapons

Posted on by

“NBC aired a longer excerpt from Curry’s interview with Rouhani Wednesday night, in which he tells Curry Iran has never tried to build a nuclear weapon. Instead, he explained, ‘We solely are looking for peaceful nuclear technology.’  ‘Can you say that Iran will not build a nuclear weapon under any circumstances whatsoever?’ Curry asked.  ‘The answer to this question is quite obvious,’ Rouhani responded. ‘We have time and against said that under no circumstances would we seek any weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, nor will we ever.'”

Feds to seize skyscraper, 4 mosques belonging to Iran-linked group [2009]

Posted on by

“US federal prosecutors said Thursday they were moving to seize four mosques and a 36-story New York skyscraper from a non-profit Muslim group suspected of having ties to the Iranian government.  Bharara filed a forfeiture action with a New York federal court to seize bank accounts owned by the group and a suspected front company, as well as the office tower and Islamic centers in the states of Maryland, Virginia, Texas and California.  The move to seize the Shiite Muslim places of worship is a very rare step for US law enforcement due to freedom of religion rights enshrined in the Constitution.”
