…and that Erdogan has decided to smash NATO.

(Kimmie, too, seems to have a need to “act out”.)

Why now?, one might want to ask, when there’s certainly enough global threat and financial instability to go around. When the world requires cooler heads.

The belief in “turning crisis to opportunity” (if that’s what’s generating all this) at such a time would appear to be absolutely insane. Haven’t they learned that eventually, brinksmanship has repercussions?

Interesting times….

May I add, Iranians (especially high ranking officials) control and engaging in trade and commercial business just as way controlling people and use this as a tool to get support by employ/ pay them and use them what the top like.

Ebtekar gained infamy as “Screaming Mary” when she served as the English-speaking mouthpiece of the hostage-takers who seized the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979, sparking the 444-day diplomatic crisis.

During her propagandizing, she would walk through the embassy and urge the 52 hostages to describe their ordeal to a camera crew in positive terms, according to a report in The Atlantic.

One of the hostages, US Army Sgt. Regis Regan became so fed up with her that he unleashed a diatribe, which led to a beating, the news outlet reported.

Among the Hostage-Takers

Fluent English-speakers were brought in, including Massoumeh Ebtekar, who became the voice of the gerogan-girha at daily press conferences with the world media and is now one of Iran’s Vice Presidents and the Minister of the Environment, and Hussein Sheikh al-Islam, who zealously interrogated the higher-level embassy staffers and CIA officers, and who is today a conservative member of the Majlis. For the young Iranians in charge of the compound, those days were heady and even romantic: Asgharzadeh met and proposed to his wife, Tahereh Rezazadeh, and Ebtekar met and ultimately married Muhammad Hashemi, one of the core group of leaders. But the days grew tedious, frustrating, and—when the failed U.S. rescue mission awakened the gerogan-girha to the dangers—frightening.
