ظريف من بيروت: لبنان وايران بحاجة للتعاون لمواجهة المخاطر

saudijack
how exactly is iran an enemy? did they ever bomb Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, or Bahrain? Ever harm us the Shiaas in any way? your propaganda only echoes Saudi Arabia's wishes: to see us the shiaas turn our backs on our friends masters, and leaders, those who helped us kick out the occupiers and regain our shiaa sovereignty.
and Saudijack: that's your opinion, but your opinion is irrelevant here. zarif will come and be welcomed in our homes and in our hearts, and you'll just have to live with it it.

He is dearly welcome, we need more visits like this.

This evil iranian terrorist is not welcome in Lebanon. Stop interfering in our internal affairs

Qitman and Taqqiya

Iran is an enemy to Lebanon

Of course...certainly...they are the most peaceful country and they want the good for Lebanon.....
We don't need them....nor we need anybody else who is not for peace, sovereignty, independance and neutrality

VDL (100.5): The company of Jihad al-Arab has won the waste management bid for Baalbek-Hermel. The contract runs for 3 years where each ton of trash will cost $25.

even their trash has to be collected thru jihad.

(1). Southern, I have always liked Zarif, he is also my friend. You see, Zarif is a pragmatist, he is the FM of Iran's new moderate leadership, Hassan Rouhani that got rid of the crude and hard-line Ahmadinajad and his unrealistic policies. If moderates like Rouhani could topple hard-liners like Ahmadinajad, that's because of several factors, namely, 1, that Iran Supreme leaders know of the consequences of not changing the system, hence the elections of some years ago when the Iranian opposition was robed of its voices. 2, Iran is in dire straights with archaic policies that are not working, hence, Iran, a major petroleum producer doesn't even have petrol at its pumps.

(2). Southern. Iran is facing the worst economic problems nowadays, with it's currency devaluating constantly and the cost of living becoming exorbitant, Iranians are boiling inside now for years with poverty now hitting them even worse than they could stomach. I remember some years ago, Ahmedinajad standing next to the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, both holding a Dollar note and mockingly predicting that in a few years it would not be worth more than the very paper it is printed on and that the barrel of Crude will be well above $180. Well my dear Southern, Chavez is dead, the currencies of Iran and especially Venezuela have gone way down, and the Dollar is king, even the Euro is tethering on the borderline and the barrel of Crude Oil is struggling to stay above $50 with expectation for it to dip below $40.

(3). Southern. Ahmedinajad has been sent home and the Iranian moderates made good on their promise to open a new chapter with Amreeka, the Great Satan. The discussions between Iran, the US and the West have taken months on end, months of very tough bargaining, and every time Iran declared that a deal was reached, would Iran's populations take to the street in jubilation. I must ask people like you ya Southern, is it because the Nuclear has won, or is it because the humble potato has won? Ask any Iranian and he will tell you, the Potato is the clear winer here. I've been to Iran several times ya Southern and I do have great respect for Iranians, specially for their coexistence between minorities, Iranians are a good people, but Lebanon and Hezbollah are the furthest things from their stomach ya Southern, they are humans like you and me and have had more than enough of Iran's radical politics, Iranians just want to live and have a good life.

(4). Southern. When you are in Iran, and talk to people, you will immediately see the stark disparity between people and regime, it's like earth from heavens. In Iran, there's a quiet but simmering revolution taking place for years now. The youth of Iran don't want that autocratic life imposed on them for decades now, Iranians by and large are an educated and refined people, the truth is that these people will not accept to be led by a minority of illiterates and theologists, everyone in Iran knows, that sooner or later, another revolution will come and will sweep away the theologists leaders, have you by any chance forgotten what happened in Iran some years ago?

(5). Southern. Today the deal has been done, and truth is that Iran is more than interested in keeping the deal, even if it had to make profound compromises. Iran is seriously cash-strapped, the ambitions of the hard-liners have yielded nothing but disasters for Iranians, what Zarif is coming to tell you guys is simple, times have changed. Of course, let no one expect anyone to divulge anything but nice headlines, but we shall see in due time what these changes are all about and seemingly the news are not good for Hezbollah and even less so for Yemen and Syria. The time has now dawned for realpolitiks in the Middle East. Saudi is threatening that if Iran was allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, that it too will develop its own arsenal starting an unwanted nuclear race in the region, could Iran keep up? Saudi is getting a lot more assertive and aggressive lately facing up to Iran, is this mere coincidence?

(6). Southern. In Lebanon, M14 has also become a lot more assertive facing up tit for tat to the Hezbollah-led M8, how long can this go on? Then there's Israel, do you or I know what Iran has shed to appease it and the US. Is IS, ISIS and the Islamists another sheer coincidence? I can tell you this, Zarif can only make such a statement as this, but usually it indicates the very contrary. Sayed Hassan may want top put up a happy brave face in public, but in private he has no choice but frown as he slowly but surely swallows the new realities of policy changes. The first victims of these changes are people like Michel Aoun who will neither see the presidency nor his son-in-law become army chief, thus your key ally is now cut down to size.

(7). Southern. Your other main ally, Nabih Berri and his Amal party is getting restless with his age-old desire to mark out his independence from Hezbollah. Whatever it may be, I am like you, Zarif is our friend all of us, especially that now he is coming with the best news we've ever anticipated. Just get used to it Southern, nothing is permanent but the temporary.

I must say IFM Mohammad Javad is very zarif in person.. although not as zarif as Carolyne.. SWEET CAROLYNE!!

Kiss the hands of those who brought "Islam" to Lebanon, or find some other creating thing to do.
