if they didn't have oil they still be in the dark ages living in tents in desert. all the buildings you see in Dubai was built and engineered by foreigners. their women in Saudi Arabia cannot even drive a car. the only reason they came to IRAN was for money they saw the wealth and the beauty and the greatness of Persian Empire and they used religion to brainwash their people to attack and Rob other nations.. so if they die in battle they would go to heaven and get 72 virgins and if they win in battle they would take over your women and your property that is the ONLY reason they fought so hard not to bring glory to God but to have women and money.

Pretty much accurate .. that's what's happening ..
Looks like, Turks decided not to repeat the last BIG MISTAKE they did .. Who partitioned Ottoman empire .. not the Iranians , but the Brits
Was a mistake to fight Safavid, big mistake .. Battle of Chaldiran was BIG BIG mistake .. Ottomans should have joined forces with Safavid against the Brits AND Russia
This 16th Century Battle Created the Modern Middle East
Erdogan, probably, thinkin, still not too late.
One thing for sure, event of last 500 yrs, in Middle East, still evolving, make it last 1400 yrs
In that sense, America should step aside as America does not understand the historical dynamic still current in ME.

For now, the two sides remain in a stalemate, but Paikidze has promised not to give in, even if it means sacrificing her dreams. “I would rather not be a world champion,” she says. “Human rights stand above chess and everything else.” Your move, FIDE.
Firms such as Apple, Twitter, Google, GoDaddy, Facebook, AMD, Norton, Comodo, Oracle and Adobe are denying Iranians the right to purchase or download tools and services that are legal, available to the rest of the world, and essential for allowing Iranians full and safe access to the global internet.
“Iranians not only face internet censorship and hacking from their government, but also the denial of the right to purchase and use perfectly legal software and services by private tech firms” said Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of CHRI.”
“These items are not under any sanctions and it is unfair and discriminatory to deny Iranian youth tools that are available to the rest of the world,” continued Ghaemi. “Tech firms are being complicit in denying the right to internet access in Iran.”
These restrictions have impeded Iranians’ access to information, directly endangered the security of journalists, activists and students in the country who face covert state monitoring and hacking, and impeded the growth and expansion of a new generation of Iranian developers and startups.
At least 35 companies offering high tech communications and software development tools have blocked their products (at least 61 items) from domestic use in Iran, according to research carried out by CHRI and ASL 19.
“Barring Iranian users from these tools and services that companies make available to everyone else around the world is not sanctions compliance; it’s voluntary and arbitrary behavior that is discriminatory,” said Ali Bangi, the Co-Director of ASL19.
“We have reminded tech companies again and again that their over-compliance with sanctions not only goes beyond the scope of the law, but also violates fundamental human rights and freedom of speech,” Bangi, added.
This access has been denied even though the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) explicitly exempted personal communications tools and services from sanctions against Iran, allowing Iranians to purchase software, mobile applications, cell phone hardware, personal computers, and others services under General License D-1 in February 2013.
