Paralysing Mullahs

Jahanshah Rashidian

There has been always a strong correlation between the structure of power in Iran and oil. Not only industry and services are heavily dependent on oil revenue, but also in a larger scale all repressive forces and institutions of dictatorial regimes rely on it. Oil production in Iran is not only at the service of development of country, but mainly at the interests of the corrupt ruling elite and especially survival of their oppressive regime.

In the case of the IRI, oil is the greatest income of state mafia which makes the regime possible to set up their repressive institutions, propaganda machine, thousands of plain clothes thugs to beat up angry people, apologists groups in the West, sold intellectuals from various factions of the regime who propagate that the regime is both legitimate and can be reformed within its constitution, and terrorist groups to advance the IRI agenda in and out of the country. The regime also spends a part of this Iranian national resource to help the two Islamist terrorist groups, Hamas, Hezbollah to prevent peaceful solutions in the region.

The U.N. Security Council resolutions and EU have already mentioned the possibility of oil sanctions on the IRI due to its nuclear ambitions and its strategy to export violence in the region. In the light of such resolutions and added to them the ongoing brutalities after the coup, the world must timely step up: sanction on fuel supplies to Iran is the first step to shake off the regime and is now widely expected by both Iranians and the international community.

The domestic consumption of gasoline is estimated 75 million litres a day, of which 36 million is imported from India. If the gasoline delivery is stopped, Iran's domestic consummation, including that of the repressive machine, of the regime, can be paralysed within a week. In such a case the heroic people of Iran can better do the rest to send the whole regime in the dustbin of history.

India supplies a great part of the needed gasoline which helps the Mullahs' regime to survive-- it imports Iranian crude oil and exports to Iran gasoline after refining. In a perspective of an international solidarity with the oppressed people of Iran in struggle against the illegitimate regime of coup d’état, India as the biggest democracy of the world can play an important factor to side with the freedom-loving people of Iran in their struggle against the totalitarian IRI in Iran.

Some political parties in

Some political parties in democratic countries should make it part of their programme to go for democracy instead of subservient and oppressed people in a worldwide context, in combination with world-wide good education. And for energy independence, through Solar Energy, perhaps.

Then it should become a trend for Westerners and Indians and maybe even South Americans and Asians, those who are now in the "Democratic empire" so to speak, to vote for those parties. Backed by much popular support, especially by women who are fed up seeing so many "sisters" so subservient and oppressed, India might indeed take the step advocated above. It would lose a lot of employment and income, but if they would not EXPORT the gasoline, they could import a lot less crude oil.

Don't expect much from

Don't expect much from politicians of current dispensations in the world. They are all slaves to economic and arabs


'China' and 'Russia' are

'China' and 'Russia' are using Islam to further there expanist agenda. China has thrown out all 'human rights' and 'media' from there country. Only media is state media, and they keep the few muslims in tight control, thus they are not having problem from islam. They use veto to stop others to designate many terrorist organisations as terrorist organisations. They know that using Islam they can destablise, west, India and Russia and after that they will be the super power as muslim countries how big it can be it cant match the chinese war machine and when they will kill muslims, no human rights orgainisation will be there to know.
As china is having veto power, they have helped sudan, many terrorist organisation in pakistan etc. They have illegally occupied Tibet, have created north korea where normal people are starving, they have created Military dictatorship in Burma, help Iran Mullahs in international forum, help them in expertise in crowd control and make sure that no sanctions can be effective, so that they can beneifit more from the country. They even supply weapons, so the fight is humanity vs Islam+china+leftists.


Great article. Oil revenue is

Great article. Oil revenue is certainly fueling the evils of the Iranian regime. It is only a matter of time until the heroic, freedom-loving people of Iran rid themselves of this sick regime and its cast of Islam indoctrinated characters.
