I thought the Iranians were Persians. Isn't that a different group than the Arabs?

If he wants to ingratiate himself with the US, then he should stop his program to develop nuclear weapons. That would go a long way toward opening up the trust gate between the two countries.

From here we sometimes wonder what the big deal is, but Iranians are NOT Arabs. They are much closer to Turks than Arabs. It really makes a huge difference in the manner that they hold their world view, their religious zeal and military mindset.

Arabs are much more liberal in their thinking and are far more winning to accept western ideals. Whereas the Iranian tribes are fiercely nationalistic, barbarious and willing to take such an aggressive military stance that they will allow themselves to be utterly destroyed before surrender or retreat. This is why Saddam Hussein took so long to beat them into a willingness to accept a treaty. Be was a Arab in his lineage.

Might makes right in international relations.
Hardly any wonder that Iran might want might.
What has the US empire done to give Arabs in Iran reason to trust the US?

Perhaps Iran should be trying to duplicate the technology that dustified the WTC instead of nukes. Oops, that would be a weapon of mass destruction, and only sane, US-friendly countries are allowed to have those, unless they don't have them already, and then the friendly ones can't have WMD's either.
If the US population didn't have 300 million small arms, I don't think I'd trust the parasites in DC much more than I trust the leaders of Iran.
