1 The world is stepping towards the horrific crime of turning all of Iran into a new "Gaza Strip"
What is this about? This is about the forthcoming very likely imposition of United Nations sanctions on Iran, and it is about decision-making at the United Nations.
Namely, if these sanctions are imposed, they can only be lifted if all the permanent members of the Security Council agree to lift the sanctions. The Americans and the British have already declared their conditions, demanding that the current "nuclear deal" with Iran, the JCPOA, be replaced by a new "comprehensive agreement".
It is clear to anyone with any common sense that "a comprehensive agreement" is an undefined term. This means that the members of the Security Council will have no restrictions on the demands that Iran will have to fulfill in order to have its sanctions lifted once imposed. This practically means endless sanctions, which will survive both us and our children, and our grandchildren, just like for example Israel' s sanctions on Gaza have been going on for three generations, and there is no end to them on the horizon.
Iranians need to understand that UN sanctions will be much worse than US sanctions. UN sanctions will completely seal Iran out of the worlds business and trade because those sanctions will be enforceable under international law, not just by a decision of one government, the US government. Since sanctions can only be lifted once the full agreement of all five members of the UN Security Council is reached, this means that the United States of America will have absolute and indefinite control over Iran's destiny.
Iranians also need to know that no one is afraid of their atomic bomb and that the threat of this "atomic bomb" serves only to their enemies to justify bringing Iran under to sanctions and into the position where the Gaza Strip is now. There will never be some new Obama to lift the sanctions.
The example of Gaza shows what it looks like when one nation, (Israel) has no restrictions in defining its demands on another (the Palestinians). The same situation will be with the American requirements in a "comprehensive agreement" because since it is undefined it can span on every sphere of life. For example, Israel has decided to ban Palestinians in Gaza from importing goods that can “serve terrorists”. After Israel killed around 2,000 Palestinians and destroyed large percentage of the buildings in Gaza, Palestinians asked to import cement for rebuilding. The quick response from Israel was: "Cement can be used for terrorism, for building of bunkers and tunnels."
