Keefer Jan, Azize baradar this Salehabadi guy is actually a big time Ekhtelasgar.  The only reason he is head of bank markazi now is so that he does not get prosecuted. He was head of Tehran Stock market and people lost more than 90% of their wealth while he was in charge. The guy before him Hemmati was good and did well during the sanctions. Not everyone is as delsuz as our general Soleimani or rahbar himself. So, no the money has not been released yet.

Keefer and Shahryar well said.  Like everyone here I also believe it is in the interest of our nation people prosperity national security and independence to part from JCPOA and go after obtaining the Nuclear Weapon. It will scare all aggressors away. Yes it will be hard on the people but nothing comes easy anyways in this world specially freedom.

Shahryar jan,

good to hear from you and that I hope the work load slows down to see you here more often, so that we can enjoy your valuable commentaries  on our football and Iran related issues. 

I'm not too familiar with Iran's foreign policies, but from what I read and hear, the situation might not be as dire as we think it is.

In the background, it is said that both the Western and Eastern powers need us, and they are all under a lot of self imposed stress now. A pro-Western Iran is worse than a nuclear-armed Iran for Russia. West-leaning Iran for China means the end of many of its aspirations including the of transit route through Iran for its products. An independent Iran means both the East and the West will be in our face. We are, perhaps the third pole and seems like that we are moving towards unifying our own partners. We have no other way. Both the West and the East have bought, sold and traded us back and forth many times in recent history. Some believe that it is the best time now to choose our partnerships based on mutual interests and help move toward a multi polar world. No more of tearing us apart between themselves and dividing us based on our natural resources.

Some say that the JCPOAv2 wants to give Iran things that she already has achieved outside of it, that is, selling oil, commodities, and receive her money, outside of the sphere of Western sanctioning monopoly. However the Western side (read Israel) is requesting something, that no Iranians, let alone the current government ought to agree with. They want Iran to reduce the range of it missiles to around 150 km (the Ukraine situation now, and bombardment by Sadumb of Iran in 80's are reminders in not agreeing to that); another point is name calling of Iran's defensive forces with  terminologies that only fits their own barbaric armed forces. Let history speak on this latter part.

There's another sticky point to deal with. The American side has requested that Iran should not follow up on her threats made on the perpetrators of its general's assassination. And, Iran's response remains to be guessed.

So it seems like, it is the West that does not want to sign the JCPOA and of course the version2 is a non sense addition they know they are not going to get. They have found out that signing the JCPOA does not get them the goal of disarming Iran and preventing her regional aspirations. 

Yes, the sanctions have been hard on our people! Add to that, 8 years of imposed war and forty some years of mismanagement . If they give up their defensive means, that took many painstaken years to achieve  they'll be at the mercy of the merciless power hungry sides.

«موران» بهشتی فراموش شده در شمال اردبیل

منطقه موران در شهرستان گرمی استان اردبیل، دیاری به وسعت تاریخ است، طبیعت و تاریخ دست به دست هم داده‌اند و سرزمینی غنی ساخته‌اند.

گوشه و کنار سرزمین ایران مملو از آثار به‌جامانده از تمدن پیشینیان ما است و هر برگ از دفتر جغرافیای این دیار، نشانه‌هایی از قدمت تمدن و تاریخ در خود دارند اما متأسفانه منطقه گردشگری موران گرمی در این بین کمی مهجور مانده است.

ظرفیت‌های گردشگری در این بخش از شهرستان گرمی استان اردبیل در وصف نمی‌گنجد، طبیعت موران ویژگی‌های برجسته‌ای دارد چرا که در سراسر موران رودها جریان دارند و در همه دره‌ها می‌توان آبشارهای زیبایی را دید، محصولات طبیعی و تولیدات غذایی این منطقه بسیار با کیفیت بوده و البته صنایع دستی نیز در روستاهای موران رونق دارد.

منطقه تاریخی و غنی موران به‌دلیل ظرفیت‌های بالای تاریخی، طبیعی و فرهنگی، اهمیت ویژه‌ای در استان اردبیل دارد، اما هنوز مهجور است و مورد بی مهری و بی توجهی مسئولان قرار گرفته است و با وجود این همه ظرفیت و نعمت‌های خدادادی، مردمانش در فصل تابستان با مشکل بی آبی شدید روبرو می‌شوند و صدای العطشان به جایی نمی‌رسد.
