It seems Trump wants to accomplish more than keep Iran from getting nukes. He wants regime change and we all know what happened when a Republican President last wanted regime change.

I was getting ready to climb all over this clown's frame when I read your attack. Thanks for saving me the blood pressure. And let's not forgive Kerry's apology to Iran.
Thanks again

Are you intentionally stupid? Reagan scared the hell out of the Iranians, so they released the hostages right before he took office. Jimmy Carter had nothing to do with getting them released, in fact his weakness just made things worse. Read a history book dude.

Yeah. that iran/contra affair comes to mind.

First of all your comment is pure BS. Carter didn't do squat for those prisoners. Secondly, and most importantly never ever should the American people as a whole ever forget or forgive the hostage taking of our people. PERIOD!!!!!!!! HMMMM? I wonder if you were one of those hostages or had any member of your family involved as one of those being held you would just well that was a long time ago so let bygones be bygones.

"A conspiracy between a p**********l candidate and a hostile foreign power against an incumbent president would seem to be without precedent in American history. But if Reagan struck a successful deal with Iran and captured the presidency in 1980, it would explain why he agreed to the bizarre alliance with Iran in 1985 and 1986: He had gotten away with it before."—B. Honegger and J. Naureckas, In These Times, July 7, 1987.

The charge has been raised, first in the Middle Eastern and European press and now in the US, that in 1980 while Jimmy Carter was frantically negotiating for an early release of American hostages in Iran, members of the Ronald Reagan campaign staff made the Ayatollah Khomeini an offer he couldn't refuse—badly needed US arms and spare parts for his war with Iraq if he kept the US Embassy hostages in Tehran until after e******n day.

Improbable as that story seems, given the outrage that any US p**********l candidate would risk if the public learned of it, there is one Iranian willing and able to provide details that give the report increasing credence. He is Abolhassan Bani Sadr, who was president of Iran at the time the release negotiations were taking place. His statements in a Paris interview with theWashington Report on Middle East Affairs, shed light on heretofore inexplicable developments in recent US history.

Iran is no threat to Europe and its time we quit fighting Israel's enemies and take care of our own

The CIA is the reason the Shaw was in power and the reason Iranians referred the America as the great Satan. A 1953 c**pe took out the democratically elected Prime Minister and empowered the Shaw

Nickolai

That money was their money and the Iranian people are good people as good as any

Nickolai

You need to read one Reagan made a deal with Iran to get them released after he was elected

Why is Germany currently condemning Irans aggressive behavior?

Nickolai

ran and the US were once friends until the CIA pulled a c**p in 1953 getting the democratically elected prime minister ousted in favor of the right wing dictator shaw that looked after US economic interests, His secrete police was trained by the CIA and Israeli Mossad

That money used to be Iran's money. Iran committed an act of war against the US, and all Jimmuh Cahtuh could do was insist on a poorly planned rescue mission that failed with US lives lost. To his credit, Carter did expel a bunch of Iranians and refuse entry into the US to Iranians. Since 1979, the mullahs in charge of the Iranian theocracy have broken every treaty and agreement they have entered into, including the latest one with Obama. They are the world's leading sponsors of terrorism. Anyone who says they are not a threat to Europe or the US is a fool or a liar. Just about every terror attack committed in the last ten years has Iranian pecker tracks on it somewhere. Every time a Westerner is k**led or wounded in a terror attack you can just about bet Iran had something to do with it.

A voice of reason in the wilderness. You're leaning into the wind, on here, with that argument, Nickolai. Anyone attempting to hold a position based on reason, where the Middle East is the subject, will have the pleasure of being referred to as a h**er and anti-Semite, or worse. Hang in there!
