The trade and cultural ties of the Islamic Republic, to the shock of its archenemies, continues to grow in the region and beyond.
This is indeed a teeth-smashing blow for the US, and its comrades-in-crimes against the Iranian people, especially the West European regimes and the illegal Zionist entity.
There is a growing trend for the economic, political, and all sorts of relations with the Islamic Republic for countries in the neighbourhood and those in Africa and Latin America,
It means the feverish attempts of the West to tarnish the image of the Islamic Republic through a malicious media campaign of false narratives has clearly failed.
The free world is after facts and realities. It has no intention to buy the fake news of an unrest that exists only in the imagination of Iran’s ill-wishers and the supposed protestors who have no physical presence on the streets of towns and cities.
At the same time, neither the pilgrims have discontinued their journeys to the holy shrines in the Islamic Republic nor have the tourists stopped their travels to the culturally rich and picturesque land of Iran.
True, Iran may have a certain degree of socio-economic damage, but the public support for the government, coupled with the authorities’ judiciously firm response to the recent cases of arson, loot, murders, and blasphemy by thugs, traitors, terrorists, and women of loose morals on the payroll of the US, have restored calm and confidence to the Iranian society.
In Iraq, the US infiltrators have lost the battle for the political and economic control of the Land of Two Rivers, where people increasingly look forward to expansion of ties with the Islamic Republic.
For the Iraqis, whatever their political, ethnic, and religious affiliations, their role model is the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In Syria, a similar trend exists, as well as in Lebanon in the west and Pakistan in the east.
Turkey enjoys excellent commercial ties with Iran, which is also an active trade partner for India.
If China and Russia have outclassed the West in their rapidly growing ties with Iran, the same tendency is evident across the seas in faraway Venezuela as well as among the people of Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria.
To sum up, the US and its accomplices are clearly on the brink of defeat and their present campaign of hatred against the Iranian people is a last desperate attempt to undermine the Islamic Republic, which has a bright future indeed.
