Nobody could have expressed better than did it today, 15 April, the Supreme Leader of the Iranian Islamic Regime, Ali Khamenei, the seriousness of a government for not being integrated in the international community. When attending to a graduation ceremony of the special forces of ideological regime Pasdaran, he stated in his speech that: “Those who are recommending Iran to return to the world order were unpleasant about the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the Supreme Leader said, describing this as surrendering to bullying powers and accepting unfair world order.”1

What Khamenei is naming here as ” World Order” is exactly the conditions that the group 5+1 is planning to offer to the Iranian regime in return of the abandon of its nuclear program: a normalization of the relationships with the Western countries, the reestablishment of the relations with the United-States and playing a normal and standard role in the Middle-East affairs. All these cases are summarized in the Khamenei’s language as “World Order” that he is explicitly blaming and refuting. He said clearly: “The Iranian nation has responded to such requests with a ‘no’ in the past 30 years.

Which means that he knows that the secret of the survival of its fragile theocracy is in the isolation the regime has been imposing to its people since 1979. An isolation that limits the Iran’s relations with the world to only three needs: Exportation of oil, Importation of the basic goods and playing a negative role where it can do it for its ideological interests.

The Iranian regime had always had a great fear to open itself to the world, essentially because of the contradiction between its bizarre oligarchy with the requirements of a government’s standard function.

In the “Word Order” the term that stares Khamehnei and its regime is not exactly World but Order. Which means that they would be obliged to leave their untamed and wild  manner of governance for a orderly and lawful conduct.

The more the world shows its openness regarding the Iranian regime the more this latter demonstrates its firm desire to be replied on itself and express its concerns for what Teheran will be expected to show as response to all these growing messages of normalization.

Khamenei “further stated that all the pressures in the past 30 years, which of course were futile, were aimed at undermining Iran’s lofty status.”3 This purpose proves simply that the continuity of the last three decades’ conditions is the best thing the Iranian regime would like to get: Not having any pressure from outside in order to handle the increasing pressures of inside.

At the same time Ahmadinejad, the Preisdent of the Islamic Republic of Iran was announcing that his government will present a new package of proposal to solve all the problems regarding Iran and even world crisis.”4 This code is well known; they will put the conditions that make impossible any peaceful approach of the “Iranian Problem”. And this is exactly what the Iranian rulers want.

The Obama’s administration should not forget that the Iranian regime is a totalitarian dictatorship that is frightened about the idea of any normalization of its behaviors. This regime will turn down if it accepts to respect the IAEA norms in the nuclear matter, the UN’s norms in the human rights matter or other International laws’ obligations. Then, the efforts to bring this regime in the right way is nothing but wasting time.
