The report entitled, “'Chance of a Century'”: International Investors Flock to Tehran,” appeared in international online edition of Der Spiegel today.
“Suddenly it appears to be there, the 'Chance of a Century' that (businessmen have) been waiting for,” says a longtime German resident of Tehran.
“Although none of the sanctions have been lifted, droves of Western business people are already flocking to Tehran. Iran has the world's fourth-largest known oil reserves, and the second-largest gas reserves. Business deals worth billions of euros can be made here.” (Der Spiegel, 3 January)

A primitive and backwards country whose "economy" consists of taking something out of the ground, and selling it, and then only after everyone and their uncle receives their bribe.
ReplyDeleteWhy bother commenting here? You may find a white supremacist or zionist site more to your liking.
DeleteAmazing. I guess you come from a very advanced country who is interesed in Iranian forums. Let me guesds. Someone who is either an Arab or belongs to a minority in Iran. Very spiteful. Has been given asylumn in a Western country and thinks that he is different. I feel sorry for you. You have an identity problem. See a shrink!

DeleteIf you cant tell the difference between saudi arabia and iran then you must be either blind or stupid
Saudi Arabia and Iran under islamic terrorist mullah are the same islamic nonsense.
DeleteAnonymousJanuary 4, 2014 at 10:50 PM
DeleteIf your hatred of the iri has led you to the point that you cant seriously see the difference between Shia iran and the head chopping cannibals of sunni saudi wahabism then you really are not only willfully blind but stupid as well
Anon 3:09 AM
DeleteNo,you are the one that is "willfully blind" and "stupid" for thinking that Shia is an Iranian religion.Shia comes from the same tree of backward Islam of Arabia as Sunni. True Iranian religion is Zoroastrian faith. The backward religion of Islam is a huge curse on Iranian land. This coming from an Iranian who knows a thing or two about the IRI terrorist theocracy that is occupying our country.
Excellent point, Anonymous January 5, 2014 at 3:09 AM. People like Anonymous January 4, 2014 at 10:50 PM, are so consumed with burning hatred that they are ignorant even of basic facts.
DeleteAnon 12:18 PM.......The "basic facts" are that the islamic terrorist regime is an anti-Iran entity which uses an "arab style" method of rule that is the most primitive and barbarous of its kind. Any right minded person has the right to project "hatred" towards such a vile and disgraceful Islamic dictatorship occupying their homeland. The "ignorant" people are the ones that think a branch of Islam that comes under the name of "Shia" is any different from another branch that come under the name of "Sunni". Because the branches comes from the same tree of backward and primitive Islam.
DeleteIn other words Anon 10:45 PM, excuses for the fact that you obviously don't know what you're talking about.
DeleteAnonymousJanuary 5, 2014 at 12:43 PM
DeleteNo you`re just trying to pretend that shia islam is just the same as sunni wahabist islam which is utterly ridiculous its like saying that theres no difference between the iri and the gulf sheikdoms,its like saying theres no difference between the branch davidians and the anglicans because both are christian,you seem to think that because one is a perversion then both must be perverted.You have let your hatred blind you
To anon 12:14
DeleteYou are too funny.
Has it not occured to you that there is actually a middle-ground where one despises both sects? Did you know the Saudi Arabs don't even count the Iranis as muslims - calling them Majoos.
Both are strange breeds and the creatures that adhere to either cult are wicked and thus they all deserve each other and all the things they do to each other.
Anon 9:41 AM, that's not a "middle-ground". That's just blind hatred.
DeleteYes Anon 8:33 PM,hatred towards idiotic and fanatical Shia/Sunni and Wahhabi Islamist terrorist dip-sticks.
DeleteIn other words Anon 1:48 PM, you don't know the difference between them and therefore, what you are talking about.
DeleteIn other words Anon 1:36 PM, you can't read or want to understand what I clearly wrote by saying, idiotic and fanatical Shia/Sunni and Wahhabi Islamist terrorist dip-sticks are all the same to me because they all come under the backward "religion" of Islam. If you can't accept that,then that's your hard luck.
DeleteIn other words, you still don't even know the differences between Shias, Sunnis and Wahhabis. Here's a free bit of advice for you. If you want to talk about something, make the effort to find out about it first, BEFORE you start discussing it. That way, you will not look like you don't know what you're talking about.
DeleteAnon 11:20 PM
DeleteAs an Iranian let me see now. What is the difference between Shia/Sunni/Wahhabi ?
They all chop off body parts.
They all oppress woman.
They all commit suicide against one another.
They all believe in the same Allah of the Arabian desserts.
They all believe that everyone else besides themselves is dirty. (Najest)
Only difference is the Shia sect tortures and hangs while the Sunni/Wahhabi sect tortures and beheads afterwards.
Yes you are right, there is a "difference" between Shia and Sunni/Wahhabi "faith" !

DeleteWow man,you need to go and see a shrink.
This is what I've been saying for years now.
ReplyDeleteNearly all he attention had previously been directed on the coercive effects on Iran with scant attention paid to what the West and the U.S. business interests were missing out on. This during a period of Great Recession.
Why would iran ever trust any of these western businesses ever again,one only has to look at what western companies like peugeot did,they like their governments are not to be trusted
ReplyDeleteSaid by a person who doesn't even trust the iranian regime enough to live under them, and who lives . . . In the west where he can enjoy the basic human rights he didn't want other Iranians to have.
DeleteIranians are such hilarious liars. How does a culture become so warped?
Hey Ariel Sharon are you back from your coma?
DeleteThe redneck bigot is just here to get some attention. As his comments are just plain stupid, the best thing is just to ignore him. Don't you think?
DeleteAnon 7:55 AM
Delete"How does a culture become so warped?"
Simple,the "culture" has been conditioned by backward islamic mullahs for centuries. As long as this alien "religion" remains part of our beliefs there is no hope for the progress of people in Iran.

DeleteYes things were so much better under pahlavis "arab style" dictatorship >rolls eyes<
Anon 3:13 AM
DeleteSilly boy ! The Islamic terrorist theocracy is the regime and religion that is based on "arab style" rule. Those Persian Gulf states are ruled by Sheihks,not real Monarchs. Your hatred towards Iran has made you blind.

DeleteCulture becomes warped when you have a bunch of islamist terrorist liars taken hold of a country.
DeleteThe same is true of the zionist entity and zionism.
DeleteWe Iranians don't care about the "zionist entity and zionism". This is an Iranian blog with Iranian issues. If you're not happy with that,go on one of those arab terrorist sites. I'm sure they will be happy to have you.
Delete"We"?! A royal "We"?. Certain commentators claim not to care about zionism yet, are strangely anxious to defend it at every opportunity.
DeletePeople like you make a big deal out of other countries issues that have no concern for Iranians. Let them sort their own problems out,because Iran is in deep shit already. You are begining to bore me.
DeleteThe only "big deal" being made is that of the USA and its masters the zionist regime, about Iran. Iran is no concern for them, none of their business. When they can stay out of things do not concern them, then, maybe, other people will do the same regarding them.
DeleteIf you are bored, why are you still here?
Iran's economic absence on the world stage is very much hurting and this explains why you will see some US made items finding their way into the country in one hand and Iranian oil beating a sanction barrier to reach Italy!-All this explains one thing ,the world is tired of these crazy political sanctions .And how can the world's economy move smoothly without IRAN!.
ReplyDeleteONLY a very stupid individual will want the sanctions to stay!.
Concern yourself with pressing matters in Nigeria.
DeleteAgreed. This guy is such a tosser. I am pretty sure someone is paying this clamhead to be in this forum. He suffers from idfentity crisis.
DeleteDon't forget the Islamic terrorist regime is spending millions of dollars of Iran's money trying to convert sections of Nigerian society into Shia Muslims. This guy could be one of their minions.
DeleteImagine how much money is being wasted to convert these savages into a religion nobody wants!
DeleteWow, is this site really accepting racist comments?
DeleteIt's not "racist comments" but actual facts.
DeleteWhose "facts"? The kkk's? zionists'?
DeleteThe operators of this site allowing racist comments to be posted on it, is dragging it down and harming the reputation it has.
