Earlier, in comments aimed at the United States, Putin said during his talks in Iran: "We should not even think of using force in this region."
In a final declaration, the Caspian nations backed Putin's call, saying "under no circumstances will they allow (the use of their) territories by third countries to launch aggression or other military action against any of the member states".
The countries also backed the rights of signatories to the Non-Proliferation Treaty -- which includes Iran -- to develop peaceful nuclear energy.
The U.N. Security Council has imposed two rounds of limited sanctions on Iran, which were backed by Russia and five other world powers -- the United States, France, Germany, Britain and China. Washington and Paris are pushing for tougher steps.
Sanctions = injure people = make people less powerful.
The effort inevitably punishes the weaker people. Please understand this to be true.
This is very simple. Power-full people punish power-less people. They do so when power-less people gain more power.
Read and find the part in the article that refers to Russian POWER being used to help increase Iranian POWER in the form of a Nuclear POWER PLANT.
If Iran can begin to generate a lot more electric power from uranium (cost/benefit), then, Iran can sell more of the stuff they now use to make electric power.
Example:
Suppose that Iran is now using Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas to make electricity. Suppose that a new Nuclear plant is built and this new Plant runs on cheap uranium. Suppose this is true. Now Iran no longer has to use up Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas to make electricity.
This is a simple trade of expensive costs for inexpensive costs. It is important, of course, to add the cost required to get rid of the nuclear waste. I have a friend who was a professional welder working on tanks that store nuclear waste. The process is expensive.
Suppose; however – that Iran does manage to gain more power with this trade. If so, then, Iran will end up dumping more Oil on the market and Iran is selling Oil off the dollar. That is a HUGE attack on Dollar Hegemony. The value of Oil goes down (because the supply increases) and the value of the dollar goes down (because the supply of the dollar is increasing AND the demand for the dollar is decreasing).
This is a HUGE attack on the Dollar Hegemony. If you can understand this, then, you can understand all the FORCE being applied against Iran.
If not, then, not.
