Behind A Big Lie




There's some tension going on now between Iran and United States as Iran's President Ahmadinejad launch serious accusations about the September 11 atacks. He said that this attacks were a big lie from the U.S. and just an excuse to invade Afghanistan. The tensions are still continue growing becuase Iran doesn't want to slow down his enrichment on uranium and nuclear programs. As I read this news, first of all it came to my mind why I think the U.S. is still on Afghanistan, after almost 10 years from the attacks at the World Trade Center. As time passes by, resources are being more scared and precious to a country, since GREAT part of economics are based on them, well, United States is not only there for peace. Oil is one of the most precious resources that a country can have, since almost everything is made out of petroleum. There are still a lot of theories out there and some information that doesn't match, but what matters now is that Iran is planning not to decrease his nuclear programs, which means that it represent a big thread to our planet. Even with the new sanctions that the U.S. wants to put on Iran for not respecting the limits established. The saddest part of all is that Iranians support the nuclear program. Hopefully, those sanctions make Iran think twice before continuing expanding his nuclear program, if not this could lead to a crumbling future especially between the U.S. and Iran. Iran said that the nuclear program is to create energy, but countries still doubt about the use they are giving to it, as they can develop nuclear weapons, which can result in something similar as the Cold War. Iran has to take the right place in this world and be more responsible to pick the right choices and left aside the selfish way to become more powerful.

The Islamic Republic of Iran

Iran is a very large country in Western Asia. Its political system is based on the 1979 Constitution; this means that all citizens must have equal and appropriate opportunities. In relation to the foreign relations that Iran has with the rest of the world, well.. I did a research and found that they are based on two strategic principles: eliminating outside influences in the region and pursuing extensive diplomatic contacts with developing and non-aligned countries.
Iran has many problems with the United States, this due to its suspicious nuclear program. Iran has been designated a state sponsor of terrorism for its activities in the continued involvement in terrorism and its nuclear weapons ambitions. There are also a lot of problems within the oil sector because Iran is very rich in this natural resource. Oil provides the majority of the incomes. Also discrimination to women implies a huge social problem. There is no gender equality.
P.S.
I will be writing more about Iran while I continue with my research.
