Mr. Kipling...you have not been to Saudi Arabia he you ?
Now you move from "being illegal " to being shouted at ?
Aussie racists shout at tourists speaking in their home language " speak English, this is Australia "
Come on buddy...your paternalistic nationalism is showing.
BTW Saudi has "regular tourist zones " now, has it ?
Where be those ?

"No one trusts Iran "
Really...Iran's major trading partners are China ...big country ,big population, ;India...same as China: Turkey; UAE etc etc.
Get at least some facts right.
Google "Iranian embassies worldwide "....then "foreign embassies in Iran "
Seems to " not trust," in your mind, is to do huge business with the worlds most populous nations and to have diplomatic relations with most of the world
I give up....some posters dont even try to be accurate.
Check under your bed tonight....might be an Iranian hiding there.

Itsonlyrocknroll....nice rhetoric
Hamas accepts a Jewish state of Israel
Iran has a large number of Jews living in Iran, who could emigrate to Israel, but choose not to .
Iran has a fatwa against using nuclear weapons and does not have any at present.
Iran has some of the top 10 supplies of oil and gas in the world so that might give some an idea of why the USA is "interested "
If you see a travel show by a westerner on Iran you will see people much like ourselves...not some fanatical "Islamic fundamentalists "
America engineered a coup in Iran when the Parliament decided to nationalize the oil fields.
USA and UK installed the Shah...now he was a real sob.
Rocknroll...you sound more frightening in your absurd "Nostrodamous like " predictions and language than anything coming out of Iran

Mr Kipling...wrong again buddy.
I checked the Saudi Govt. office for obtaining visas....pretty accurate source.
Foreign women visitors are NOT required to wear head covering.
Since 2019 Saudi women are not required to wear head covering either but should dress modestly.
Most Saudi women DO wear the hijab or similar, many tourists do not.
Easy google check, with accurate sources, and you wont be mistaken so often

Word on Arab street is that MBS organised the murder of a Saudi journalist at a Saudi Embassy where the victim who was supposed to collect some documents was cut into pieces and spirited out hidden in suitcases.
And Rocknroll....Gaza was the area Palestinians were DRIVEN INTO by marauding Zionists terrorists during the Nakba and beyond.
Gaza used to be a farming area with small towns and villages.

Iknowall...had you paid any attention, Hamas offered a ceasefire and hostage release in the first months of the war .
Netanyahu refused,,,as did his hawkish cabinet members.
War could have been over a long time ago but for the Israeli sides demands for the "total eradication of Hamas ", a group Netanyahu helped foster.
Now, how do you eliminate an idea born out of oppression ?

Here is one problem some members of Netanyahu cabinet have threatened to leave the coalition if the war does not continue.
Quality people in that cabinet.
Netanyahu would then not have a majority and may need to have an election.

I have read many scholars argue that the root cause of the holocaust and racism in Germany and other parts of Europe was the failure to accept multi culturism as a positive influence on the nation.
In 2025 we might have moved past the "glorious days of German culture "
The world is becoming integrated.
Those posters who disagree seem to be living in Japan whilst having a non Japanese background...funny that.

Iran predates the USA by 2000 years or more.
It is not going anywhere. Trump has 4 years to bluster.
A drop in an ocean by comparison.
Iran will be standing when the US has returned to a third word state.
Students of history will know how short a time frame this US hegemony has been in existence....probably post WW2 and before lots of incursions into mighty kingdoms like Guatemala and Grenada.

Holocaust wrong because of all the deaths and mistreatment.
Eliminating Iran because.....Itsonlyrocknroll thinks it is a good idea.
My thinking , by comparison , is that ELIMINATING any group based on nationality, ethnicity or whatever is no better, even worse than the holocaust.
Worse,,,because it shows people HAVE NOT LEARNED the lesson of evil begets evil.
Before sanctions reimposed on Iran, hundreds of thousands of EU and UK people visited Iran as tourists.
Eliminate them too rocknroll ?

No babies beheaded, no women mutilated etc etc.
Continue with this stupid hasbarra lies forever...wont make them true.
Were any of the hostages raped with lengths of pipe as happened to Palestinian hostages held in Israeli dungeons ?
Those hostages didnt look too sprightly on release either.
And the Austwitch ...spelling/...reference is another attempt to link Palestinians with Nazi Germany and dehumanise these oppressed people.
