“The more Ahmadi Nezhad is facing troubles at home and pressures abroad, the more he makes life difficult for the all those who do not support blindly his policy of confrontation”, one prominent scholar told Iran Press Service on condition of anonymity.
“As the result of his antagonizing policy, Iran is going to face for the first time an international sanction imposed by the United Nations, Arab countries and Israel are getting closer against us, Palestinians and Lebanese are angry at our meddling in their affairs, billions of capital are leaving for Persian Gulf emirates and hundreds of our best brains are moving out of the country. We are facing disaster”, he added.
