Iran's Currency Collapse: The Final Desperate
Act of a Dying Regime

What is a mockery is that the people in charge are supposedly religious. Western views of religion is that it is supposed to be beneficent. However, time and time again, religion has proven to be highly destructive and the antithesis of what we expect it to be. Various groups put labels on themselves to project the attributes of those labels. Unfortunately, people are too gullible in accepting that the label accurately describes the group. An example would be how Leftist judges claim to be supporting the Constitution which limits judicial power to the written laws passed by the People. These judges have decided that THEY can rule as they see fit to make outcomes match their political leanings. Unfortunately, these judges are protected from removal in most cases out of "respect" for the need of the judiciary to be protected from malicious attacks. However, when it is the judges themselves that are malicious ...?? Religious leaders are generally given great deference. In the case of Iran and many other Arab countries, that deference is misplaced. That's not a judgement on their religion. It's a condemnation of their corrupt and not truly religious leaders, evil beings in turbans.

#1 has an insightful and thoughtful analysis. However, “Religious leaders are generally given great deference. In the case of Iran and many other Arab countries, that deference is misplaced. That's not a judgement on their religion. …” (And I’m admittedly no Iranian or Islamic scholar), but I wonder how much of the mullahs’ iron fist and corruption is Quran-inspired. It may be a chicken and egg argument. But I never discount Mohammed’s religious tenets in discussing havoc and mayhem…and destruction.

And, of course, Khamenei and his thugs have no problem developing nuclear weapons. And suffice to say that iran's oil and gas revenue goes to all the wrong places and back pockets, too.

Islam is the religion of submission by and for the leaders.

Don't feel sorry for them and bring them here. We have enough Muslims trying to destroy us from within.

If kamalala was in office obie would prolly be instructing her to send more cash to the mullahs to prop them up.

FTA: "The regime has chosen to impoverish its own nation rather than relinquish power. Yet in doing so, it is paving the way for its own destruction." I had thought this article is about the mullahs in Iran - - but then I realized - - it's about the Biden administration.

Not sure how they did their math but my currency converter shows that 1.00 US = 42,171.18 IRR, which is still a disaster for them. I think if a certain palace in Tehran and IRGC headquarters should suffer gas-leak explosions, many countries across the world would be happy, including Iran itself. The people are well educated, why do they put up with seventh century ignorance and oppression?

One can only hope that the headline is accurate. What remains, then, is WHO will fill the void? Who will "take over" Iran?

Russia's Geran drones are a copy of Iran's home-grown Shahed drones. It has been rumored in open source intelligence that Russia paid Iran for several thousand drones and the "blueprints" (to produce them in Russia) in *gold*. The mullahs now possess the gold and could throw a gird underneath the Rial with it. However, I suspect they're hoarding the gold for themselves and that ultimately, it will be converted to dollars as needed for imported items for the nuke program and to support their lavish lifestyles. The Iranian public? The mullahs care not a whit...

Iran based their drones on one of our Predators that crashed there quite a few years ago so, in essence, Russia now has our drones, although it's an older model. Question: If Iran is destroyed, can it be taken over by terrorists when the Iranian government has been the primary financier of terrorists in the entire middle east?

But but but.... what happened to the pallets of freshly printed US dollars that 0bama sent them?

The clerics remain in power as long as the military supports them. The military supports them as long as they continue to give the military whatever it is they ask for. No one is looking out for the welfare of the average Iranian.

Maybe in hindsight, Trump and Israel should have obliterated all of Iran's military and nuclear sites earlier this year. Yeah, the usual voices would be screaming but I don't think many (other than the Mullahs' terrorist proxies) would be upset. Easy for us to say living here fat and lazy in the USA about how the Iranian people need to step up and revolt (which they have tried at least twice) when we can even get enough Republican voters to turn out for elections like the Governor's race in Virginia, etc.

North Korea and Cuba are examples of how long a bankrupt dictatorship can last. There's still a lot of years ahead for the mullahs.
