Iran is destined to a failed state.
The state political system must be capable to secure harmony within a society. In the environment of a peace free men pursue its economic activities and raise family in the peace and harmony. The task of the state is not to express, sustain or promote the interest of Persian or Shiite sect of Islam, but maintain peace and provide harmony for all citizen.
Since the invasion of the western Baluchistan in 1928 political movements have always existed and resisted the Persian occupation of the western Baluchistan. The Baluch National has resisted the Persian occupation and has demanded National self-determination on the bases of universal principle of the right to national self-determination and national hood. Nationalism has become vocal type of national identity.
The Persian elite came to define themselves as an Aryan against their Arab, Azari (Turk) , the Baluch and the others ethnic groups. The Persian elites’ sponsored state nationalism is dead. The state sponsored nationalism was killed by the Shiite revolutionary in pursue of universal Shiite glory. The Persian elite had made Iranian nationalism for themselves.
Iran survive only if the majority of Iranian population think of themselves as Iranian and votes by their foot. But the reality is different, the Iranian have been oppressed for nearly a century and the ethnic conflict in Iran is a time bomb waiting to burst and no one is sure of its consequences. The Arab, Baluch, Kurd and some Azari ceased to think of themselves as Iranian. They think of themselves as Baluch, Arab, Kurd, Azari and see the future within themselves as an independence Nation. The ethnic rivalries have already started between Persian and Azari (Turk) the two dominant populous ethnic groups in Iran.
The Baluch in western occupied Baluchistan have been the victim of the Persian occupation for decades and the Baluch support the Kurdish struggle for independent Kurdistan. The Baluch also support the Arab against Persian aggression. We believe that the Persian are not powerful enough to supress the Baluch and Kurd and fight many wars in the Middle East at the same time.
The current Baluch arm struggle in Baluchistan and Kurdish uprising in Iranian Kurdistan will not end here. Many believe that Iran is not powerful enough to fight internal and external wars at the same time.
