What Are The Pros and Cons Of Imposing Sanctions Against Iran?

I don't know why The US and Europe impose sanctions against Iranians?!
What is the benefit of such sanctions n who gains the most from them?
They only weaken Iran’s economy so the level of unemployment, poverty and illiteracy rises.

The west governments claim that they have no problem with the people of Iran however reflecting on sanctions makes me doubt their words.

To build democracy in a country it’s necessary that people have the least suitable condition of life so that they can think about important matters, read news papers n discuss topics like freedom n justice. How can we expect someone who has no income to think about such things?! Normally he just wants to gain some money by any means to feed himself n his family. As the level of poverty rises the level of reasoning declines!

I HAVE A BIG QUESTION SPECIALLY:

Why do not developed countries sell passenger airplanes to Iran? Do u know many have died because of plane crashes so far in Iran?

When they don’t sell us safe and good planes, the government is forced to buy low quality n awful planes from Russia called Topolov.
The planes which r really dangerous and in my mind they just resemble a probable killer!

In spite of imposing sanctions against Iran if they really want to help Iranians and to have a good cooperation, they should make the trade with Iran easier.
Because of sanctions Iran loses some profits n The West loses some as well.

I really like to know your perspectives especially if you agree with sanction.

A Cheerful Spirit

Yesterday it was 'SIZDEBEDAR', the 13th day of The Persian New Year. We have this tradition that on Sizdebedar Iranians go to the nature with their family n friends n enjoy themselves together n have a picnic.

I went with my family out. It was really interesting. Even in the sides of freeways people were sitting in the grass. There were colorful tents almost every were which were put up by people celebrating the day.
We went some where in the northwest of Tehran called Farahzad. We went to a very big garden of mulberries n found a good place n spread our carpet n sat.
There were full of people. Mostly they were groups of families n friend each other. We ourselves were about 20 people consisting of some families n friend.

We spoke with each other, congratulated the new year to whom we haven’t seen after Nowruz, went walking through the beautiful trees n grass,played cards(n I lost the game!) ,played Badminton(that I won).built a small fire. Some smoked Ghalyun (an instrument to smoke tobacco).we had a great lunch with different foods since each family had brought different dishes.

People around us also were playing games (like Zuu, Volleyball, Vasati, Leapfrog),
Enjoying themselves n dancing.Some had made swings by tying ropes to the trees and were riding on them. They were happy like us. A car played the music with her high quality stereo n every people enjoyed it. Some girls n boys danced, I did a little too.

The weather was gorgeous n I really enjoyed it. I regretted why I hadn’t attended the festival since a few years ago.

I don’t say it was something like a legend however it was really very nice.

My mother in the evening cooked Ash-reshte (a delicious kind of potage). It was quite delicious n gave us a good feeling as the weather had turned a little cold n a hot food was great. Everyone praised the food.
At last we tied some grasses together, collected the garbage to take it out from nature n returned home.

Every where was green n every body enjoyed this beauty.
It was a great day.
in Persian we say: ‘jatun khali’ or ‘jatun sabz’ which means: if u were with us it would be great.

SALAAM, I WISH YOU 'PEACE' AND 'HEALTH'

Hereby I start right now.
In Iran when we meet each other we say SALAAM. The English as a greeting say hello n we say salaam. Now I tell u: SALAAM
‘Salaam’ is a Quranic word which means ‘peace’. When I say salaam it reminds me also the word ‘salaamati’ which means ‘health’.
So when we say salaam it’s like that we say: wish u peace n health.

This can be a good introduction.

I’m going to write this blog in English because I think there r many things to say, discuss n share.
There r many things that I as an Iranian living in Iran have to tell others. there r many things that I as an human being like to say.
And of course there r a great amount of things I love to learn.
So building a room where people can share their ideas n discuss n learn new things is really nice, n I hope I can build such a place.

One more thing: I’m sure my English is not perfect. So there will be some inaccuracy. Please tell me if u see such not right structures, words or any other problems regarding to my English in any post I write. I’ll appreciate it.
