If Iran is 60% Persian and Shia, and 40% minority, similar to Iraq and Azerbaijan, and if the minorities enter the conflict... The Shia in the Gulf States range from 10-20% excepting Bahrain and Lebanon that are half Shia Muslim. The whole region could explode.

I haven't any confidence in her replacement nor her new position.

I misstated the percentages of Shia in the Gulf States. It ranges from 10-20% except Bahrain and Lebanon that are half Shia Muslim. Further complicating: the Kurds don't have a country they account for more than 15% of Turkey, Iraq and Iran and are armed.

If Iran is 60% Persian and 40% minority, similar to Iraq and Azerbaijan, and if the minorities enter the conflict... The Shia are 65-75% in the Gulf States (ruled by Suni monarchs) and a significant minority (10+%) in Saudi Arabia. The whole region could explode.

If Iran is 60% Persian and 40% minority, similar to Iraq and Azerbaijan, and if the minorities enter the conflict... Add to that, the Shia are 65-75% in the Gulf States and a significant minority (10+%) in Saudi Arabia. The whole region could explode.

If Iran is 60% Persian and 40% minority, similar to Iraq and Azerbaijan, and if the minorities enter the conflict the whole region is in danger. Add to that, the Shia are more populace in the Gulf States and a significant minority in Saudi Arabia. The whole region could explode.

If Iran is 60% Persian and 40% their minorities, and if neighboring Iraq and Azerbaijan also has minorities, and if the minorities decide to enter conflict, the whole region will go up in flames. I am thinking of the Shia in the Gulf States, the Kurds throughout the region.
This could be very sad.

Good for you from the other end of the Mississippi River: Minnesota! PS: I like the "low road Dem" label.

From Minnesota: "Talerico = Fetterman" ??? How can you possibly so equate Talerico's eight years in the state legislature? Whoever wins Dem-wise, we need to stop the bashing on our side: nationally!

My heart is with the Iranian people. They must deal with an oppressive regime and fascistic American one.
