Seems straightforward, and as it is clearly straightforward, this is how we shall proceed.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has the capacity to generate electricity, for its own domestic population, and also for export. A healthy electricity generation capability is a good thing, it provides electricity and generates an income, it stabilises the internal infrastructure and further provides for a stable internal marketplace. The fact that the internal populace is Islamic or that the Government is an Islamic entity has no bearing on these internal basic factors. What the American nationalist Republican movement or the English Parliament thinks of that is completely uninteresting and useless as far as international politics is concerned. If you are from the Republican movement and you live in America, you are destroying your country from within by holding onto these septic anti-Iranian and poisonous views, call yourselves a kind of fifth column if you will, a treacherous and unpatriotic burden to yourselves and the people you purport to represent. If you are from the English Parliament and you also hold these views, take comfort from the fact the International Community is about as interested in what you think of the world as it is interested in the common turd from a stray dog in the street. Influence, in international terms comes and goes and for you it has very definitely gone, and, in my view, for very good reasons.
So bother yourselves not with your own inadequacies and concern yourselves with what you can genuinely do for your people and nations, over the longer term.
Seek a peaceful resolution to these issues and make a lot of hard work for yourselves building a stable and purposeful existence for the people of that region to be going on with, hard work is a good thing. Just because people have voted for you isn't impressive, people will just vote for the sake of it in a system that is fundamentally void of any true political choice, yes, that means you in the UK and US single party state.
The Peace works hard, and if the truth be told the Peace works a lot harder than people whom shuffle about attending political meetings all day.
