Of note, there have been other incidents similar to Khazaee’s case across the world, in particular in south east Asia and also in a few Western countries in which Iranian citizens have been arrested due to alleged violations of sanctions against Iran, Qashqavi said.
Cosmetically, Iran has been on an upward trajectory with the installation of new highways and infrastructures, compared to the deep regression it suffered when Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown, destroying much of the nation’s attractive European and Western architecture.
Israel has also expressed concerns that the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon could receive missiles from Iran, which has already supplied the group with smaller unguided rockets, while Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of training the Houthi fighters in Yemen who have seized the country’s stock of Scud missiles.
“The deal has the potential of transforming the relationship (between the USA and Iran), it’s not just a transactional agreement”, he said.

Khamenei also utilized these assertions to justify the continued use of the phrase “death to America” in state-organized demonstrations and official gatherings.
“A lot of senior politicians and senior policymakers inside of Iran do not understand the dynamics of US domestic politics and the USA public”, Bazoobandi said.
Iran held rallies to mark the 36th anniversary of the storming of the US embassy on Wednesday, the latest reminder that July’s landmark nuclear deal has done little to reduce enmity between the Islamic Republic’s top rulers and their longtime foe.

The bottom line here is that the US government, whether it has a Republican or Democratic administration, seeks to topple any government in the world that doesn’t bend its knee to the orders of Washington.
