On July 14, 2015, during the Obama presidency, Iran and six world powers known as the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known as ‘Iran Nuclear Deal’ with the intention to marginalize Iran’s nuclear program and monitor it in exchange for relief from nuclear sanctions.
Persian or Iranian civilization and its culture undoubtedly has marked a significant era in the history of the world. In addition, to get a better picture of how the events ensued, we need to briefly address Persia’s history and unravel some of its perplexing names and origins, both before and after the Islamic period.
Iran has been under the rule of Islam since 1979. The Iranian people have attempted on several occasions to end the rule of these barbarians, but each time they are faced with the ruthless Islamic regime and many of them were massacred while the world watched and did nothing.
Since the invasion of the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, many Iranians found themselves in a state of bewilderment as to what real Islam is. The suffocating rule of Islam casts its death-bearing pall over Iranians. A proud people with an enviable heritage has been systematically purged of its sense of identity. The so-called Islam they knew and cherished vanished overnight, and confusion and uncertainty prevailed.
While the Islamic Republic supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, for his part, has been vocal through his speeches, statements, and practices to find a candidate who would follow and carry on his revolutionary ideals to national leadership, Iranians in exile have not been able to reconcile their differences in order to appoint someone at the helm.
Islamic jihadists have advanced by invading country after country with the sword of Islam. The invasion of Iran was only the start of the tenacious scourge of Islam. Slaughtering people by the hundreds of thousands at the time left the remainder of the Iranians little choice but to convert to the creed of this cult of violence. Left with no choice, millions converted to Islam at the point of the sword, and a few hundred thousand brave souls circled the wagons, so to speak, and held firm to their creed of light — the Zoroastrian faith.
Iran is at a crossroads. The Islamic rulers do not have one iota of sentiment towards Iran and they have just given up what to do with this ancient and civilized nation. Many Iranians around the globe are desperate that they are unable to do anything against the sworn enemies of Iran: the mullahs. So, Iran is on the verge of collapse without any help from the outside. Many opposition groups have done all they could to save Iran from further deterioration and collapse.
