Everyone has heard of “Islamophobia,” a word that Islamic supremacists frequently manipulate in order to beat down critics of Islam. Now Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani is accusing America of “Iranphobia,” which he says is creating “tensions and crises in the region.” Shia Iran has been in an ongoing proxy war with Saudi Arabia and didn’t take kindly to Biden’s participation at a summit in Saudi Arabia “that brought together the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council as well as Egypt, Jordan and Iraq.”
Biden stated:
“We will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by China, Russia or Iran.”
But Biden, with his penchant for big talk combined with little action, as well as his unpredictability and ineptitude, is emboldening the worst enemies of America, particularly those he mentioned: China, Russia and Iran.
The irony is that he created the vacuum he references. It is a result of his own poor leadership, including his pursuit of another disastrous Iran deal that will only empower Iran, and his turning over negotiating powers to Russia and then to Muslim Brotherhood-supporting Qatar. America under Biden is seeing the world realign in the absence of a strong America. It is deeply troubling that a country such as Iran would be partly correct when it states that Biden is provoking a Middle East crisis.
Israel is well aware of Biden’s unreliability, as was suggested during his recent talks with caretaker Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid. Lapid told Biden that only a “credible military threat” would stop Iran; “words will not stop them.”
Meanwhile, Kamal Kharazi, a top aide to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has threatened that “his country has the ability to produce a nuclear weapon, but is choosing not to do so,” implying that it can and will do so at will. Last year, Rafael Grossi, the director-general of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, stated that “only countries making bombs” are enriching uranium at Iran’s level. The 2015 nuclear deal has long been established to have been based on lies, buying Iran time to produce a nuclear weapon.
“Iran accuses US of provoking Middle East ‘crises,’” AFP, July 17, 2022:
Tehran (AFP) – Tehran on Sunday accused Washington of provoking tensions in the Middle East, a day after US President Joe Biden ended a tour to Iran’s rival Saudi Arabia and arch-foe Israel.
Washington “has once again resorted to the failed policy of Iran-phobia, trying to create tensions and crises in the region,” Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said in a statement.
The comments come after Biden on Saturday vowed that the United States would not “tolerate efforts by any country to dominate another in the region through military buildups, incursions, and/or threats”, in a transparent reference to Iran.
Biden’s first Middle East visit came just a few days before Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to visit Tehran on July 19.
Biden, in a speech in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah at a summit that brought together the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council as well as Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, assured Arab leaders that Washington would remain fully engaged in the Middle East.
“We will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by China, Russia or Iran,” Biden said.
Following the meeting, a joint statement committed the leaders to “preserve regional security and stability”.
It also underscored diplomatic efforts to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, and notably called for enhanced joint deterrence capabilities “against the increasing threat” posed by unmanned aerial vehicles — a likely reference to Tehran, which on Friday unveiled ships and submarines capable of carrying armed drones.
Tehran, which denies seeking to build a nuclear bomb, on Sunday dismissed the comments made in Jeddah.
“These false allegations are in line with Washington’s seditious policy… in the region,” Kanani said.
Biden began his regional tour on Wednesday in Israel, before visiting the Palestinian Territories and then flying to Saudi Arabia.
In the Jewish state, Biden signed a security pact reinforcing a common front against Iran, where the president vowed to use “all” US power to stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Kanani said the pact was a “great sign of the deception and hypocrisy” of the United States, because “they turn a blind eye to the Zionist (Israel) regime as… the greatest holder of the arsenal of nuclear weapons in the region”.
Israel is widely believed to hold the Middle East’s sole but undeclared nuclear arsenal…..

‘Iranophobia’? An interesting neologism, but what does it truly mean? I think NO ONE likes the mullahocracy, including about 86 million Iranians.
In that case, about 86 million Iranians are also ‘Iranophobes’.
Infidel says
Yeah, all of those, as well as all those Iranian immigrants who’ve left islam for either Christianity or Zoroastrianism

Walter Sieruk says
As explained before one of the main reason that Iran is the ability to construct nuclear weapon is because Joe Biden with his appeasement policy is always giving in to the demands of that aggressive and hostile Islamic regime of Iran’
Moreover ,during this year of 2022 that “mullah tyranny” of Iran would not be capable produce nuclear weapons if Donald Trump was still the President . Furthermore, the only reason that ,villain, Joe Biden , is now sitting in the Oval Office of the White House is masquerading as a real ,genuine US President because Biden is such a loser that he had to cheat in order make him appear to had “won” that National election.
Biden did this bu allowing others ,who are just as sinister as him but much more intelligent in different levels of power in American and also a few nations overseas , as Islamic Iran, to scheme to and the engage a rigged Presidential election fraud /hoax. This alone reveals that Biden is an unethical corrupt vote stealing fiend and bogus “president.”
That those in power in that Islamic tyranny of Iran aided Joe Biden to become “president ” in any way it was able to must be one reason that Biden “caves in ” to Iran to give them everything they want.
For not only does Biden “owes” Iran much for its help in making the a US “President” [1]
Also Iran obviously has all this inside information on him that Joe doesn’t want Iran to make known to the American people and to the other nations of the world. So with this blackmail it’s not wonder that Biden gives in to all the demand of those in power in Iran.

Iran had been moving towards getting nukes for decades–but Biden forking money over to them and turning a blind eye to their machinations has been the greatest leg up the Mullahs have gotten–especially considering President Trump not putting up with their crap.
PMK says
There is no such thing as Iranphobia. There never has been. A phobia is defined as an obsessive or irrational fear or anxiety. There is nothing obsessive about the world’s concern with what Iran is doing with its missile technology and its nuclear program. When an adversary say he wants to kill you and has been steadily acquiring the means to do it, it is not irrational to be wary of him.
mortimer says
Tehran was once so charming, they called it ‘The Paris of the East’. Once the mullahs leave, it will be again.
Infidel says
Sorry, Paris of the East was Beirut, never Tehran
gravenimage says
Dear Infidel, Mortimer is right–and so are you.
Beirut was certainly the eastern city most often given this sobriquet–but it was also applied to other cities, foremost of which was indeed Tehran.

The stink coming out Iran is the stink of the 7th century mullahs who want everything to be regressive and primitive, except for space-age weaponry.
Out of 180 countries, Iran is the 29th country from the bottom of the world corruption index with a corruption score of 25.
A US envoy called Iran a corrupt religious mafia.
Westman says
You can be certain from John Bolton’s recent remarks about planning coups, that a coup of the Iranian Regime is one he has helped plan.
No Sunni Muslim nation trusts Iran which means that 1,300,000,000 Muslims have “Iranphobia”. Iran’s leaders should be asking why they have few friends, a question psychopaths rarely ask themselves.
Infidel says
On this one, the 1.3 billion muslims have “shi’aphobia”: it’s pure bigotry against that sect that those sunnis have. I wouldn’t use their attitude as a yardstick for how justified the suspicion of Iran is. More reasonable is the attitude of Israel towards Iran, but of course, nowadays, antisemitism is fashionable again, if one is doing it in the service of the Palis
Truth be told, no islamic sect believes in “Live & let live”: they all believe that it’s their duty to enforce whatever type of islam they believe in, so even muslim minorities would behave exactly like they’re behaving in India
Westman says
Unfortunate, yet true. The Muslim hand appears to be against everyone.

Iran accuses US of ‘Iranphobia,’ Ayatollah’s top aide says Iran has ability to produce nukes
…………………………
“Iranophobia”? Grotesquely hilarious.
Before the Islamic revolution many Americans knew little about Iran–some knew about the Shah and oil, and probably had a fairly positive view of the country–little to no “Iranophobia” then. Some didn’t even know that much, and would have had to go back further for vague impressions of Persia.
So for many Americans, their first real impression of Iran was of the fanatical Ayatollah Khomeini and our diplomatic staff being taken hostage and held for 444 days–a crime not committed even by most dictatorships–and of women being forced into Chadors.
So this “Iranophobia” was just the first taste of the savagery of Islam for most modern Americans.

Yes, this was the first real impression of Iran post-1979 revolution.
