Iran's public opinion: "RICH countries" to "kept backward countries", "stop enRICHment" so we stay on top as past!
apart form cat-and-mouse game of Iran-IAEA , the left (left liberals and religious left people), also rights except "radical right liberals" and "bush backed monarchists" in Iran clearly believe US pressure on Iran is a colonial or neo colonial action rather than a peace-aimed strategy.
Iranians think, US sees next decades ("after oil" decades) and to keep Iran and other "kept backward"(in left style) /developing (in right style)" countries in its econo-political metropolitan hegemony and monolateralism, tries to prevent these states reaching hi-tech and high end technologies. pro colonial/neo colonial aspects have faith in US misuse of "beautiful concepts" like "war on terror" or "human rights" as a pretext to prevent them from national enRICHment, or if it cant, in order to invade to destroy their progresses.
in this way, the leader of the islamic republic
emphasizes that "
another reason for the opposition expressed by the U.S. and Europe to Iran's scientific and technological progress is to keep the Iranian nation underdeveloped and backward."
aljazeera has a lengthy talk on the story.
the time for colonial talks has passed ?
