I was not thrilled upon hearing that Iran had won in the P5+1 negotiations regarding its nuclear program. Iran had gambled with the wealth of its people and suffered heavy economic sanctions for a long time only to eventually succumb to the Western conditions in lieu of a gradual lifting of the sanctions. If Iran has made any gains from the agreement on its nuclear program, it is the love of “Mama America” which the Iranians used to call the “Big Satan”. This love is a temporary “Satanic” love, which has resulted from America's weakness under President Barack Obama's rule. There is no guarantee that this “one sided” love will continue when the Republicans come to power. Iran can easily be Americanized and replace the rods of kabab with hamburger sandwiches. It will, however, maintain its famous phrase of “Death to America” only for local consumption. However, the issue is not about the Iranian love for America but the change of heart by “Mama America” toward Iran. This new love the US has for Iran is not for its own sake but in order to create a new status quo in the Middle East based on the devastating sectarian conflicts. If ever opened, the religious conflicts will be the real gates to hell and neither America nor any other superpower will be able to close these gates for a long time. Two days ago, a Kuwaiti newspaper claimed that America has classified Hezbollah as one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations working against US interests. This classification puts Hezbollah on the same level as the Al-Qaeda organization, Daesh (so-called IS) and other terror groups that are hostile to the US. In the same story, the newspaper said Hezbollah's main office in the US is in the Michigan State city of Detroit. Of course, the American authorities know about this office but they have turned a blind eye to its activities. This office openly collects and transmits donations to the main party in Lebanon. The donations collected for Hezbollah are sent to various banks in Lebanon under the eyes of the American government. The funny thing is that, since the 9/11 attacks, money remittances among banks are closely monitored under the procedures being implemented to dry up the financing sources of terrorism. As a result of these strict procedures, today, you cannot send a small amount of money to your maid's family in the Philippines or Sri Lanka unless you present your ID and fill out an application form containing all the data about the sender and recipient. If not for the sake of politeness, the employee at the money exchange office from where you are sending the money to your maid's family, may ask you to swear on the Qur'an that this money does indeed belong to your maid and will go directly to her non-Muslim family and that it will not “lose” its way to a secret bank account which belongs a terrorist group. What do you, dear reader, make of this situation in which the US classifies Hezbollah as a terrorist organization that is a total threat to its interests only to allow it to collect donations, inside America, to transmit to the Hezbollah party in Lebanon? The only explanation in this case is that either America has become totally insane or that it has something in its mind, which nobody knows except Almighty Allah.
