"President Obama appeared on TV during Iran’s new year holiday with a message of equality, brotherhood and friendship to my countrymen. Then, the next day, he sat at his desk and signed a decree to extend the sanctions on Iran’s civilian aviation industry, putting the lives of Iranians in danger. My question is: Is that not paradoxical?"
