US analyst: Iran treated like ‘alien force’
American political analyst Stephen Lendman says the United States and its Western allies have treated Iran like a œhostile alien force than a normal country” in the past decades.
œPresident [Hassan] Rouhani is absolutely sincere in wanting normalize relations not just with America but with all Western nations. It™s been so long. It™s been nearly 35 years where Iran has been treated more like a hostile alien force than a normal country,” Lendman told Press TV on Tuesday.
œThey want to normalize relations the same as every country wants with other countries, but it™s been denied that it™s been so because Iran is an independent country and Washington and Israel and its allies don™t tolerate independent countries,” he added.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is in New York to deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. US President Barack Obama will also address the General Assembly on Tuesday.
The analyst said it is œvery likely” that the two presidents meet each other and œit would be a great surprise if they didn™t meet.”
œThe Symbolism of handshakes and smiles and photo ops and so on, they mean nothing at all. What matter is will America change its longstanding policy with Iran. I™d love to hope that to happen, but I honestly don™t believe it,” Lendman said.
œAmerica™s policy is to be intolerant of all independent states. It wants every nation in the world subservient to US interests. It wants pro-Western governments in these countries ruling them,” he added.

You mean America and France, where America was going to go to war with Britain over their monopoly of Irans oil. Britain discovered and developed Iran’s oil industry, Iran got a percentage, everyone was happy apart from greedy America. But instead of going to war with Britain they funded Hitler, funded the Russian revolution and destroyed Iran’s democracy. America and France installed Iran’s current religious dictatorship on the promise they would reinstate their democracy. Instead the new religious dictatorship did what every other dictatorship does, round up all those calling for democracy, bussed them to the American funded Iraqi war front, and at gun point ordered them to march unarmed towards the enemy. Iraq gunned them down with American bullets by the untold millions.
It’s not that difficult to work out who the real global enemy is, America.
