For how long has the world helped the Ayatollahs remain in power just because they thought they could pretend to be representing Iran, and abuse the income they received for their own agenda.
The world has a duty. It must use the correct wording when it comes to describing the behaviour of the Islamic State. This BBC report uses the word Iran in the wrong context, as it is the Ayatollahs activities they are describing not the behaviours of Iranians.
Iranians have been under the sanctions of the Islamic State ever since 1979. Some would argue that Iranians have been under this inquisition since it was brought back again after the Monguls wiped Islam from Iran and allowed Iranian culture to flourish again. All our famous poets and art flourished under the Monguls. Just look at the miniatures and the poems of Hafez.
It took a bitter force like Islam to stop Iran becoming great and many do not want Iran to be the great force in West Asia. But it will be.
"Four major energy companies are pulling out of Iran in order to comply with US sanctions, the state department says. Royal Dutch Shell, Total, Statoil and Italy ENI will now avoid US penalties targeting companies which do business with Iran"
