Assalamu Alaikum,
Brother Sawtul Khilafa, I will try to reply to your queries: 
"on that thread I did NOT criticize SHIISM, but only IRAN."
You can discuss theological issues of sectarian nature in Intra faith section. And entire nation such as Iran should not be held responsible for the actions of those in the leadership position.
"So you are actually implying that writing against the Government of Iran is against the rules simply because they are Shiah."

This is another fallacious reasoning. I asked you in my last post why you started posting on Iran�s relations with Sunnis in the thread that was basically about the freedom enjoyed by Jews in Iran. You are incorrectly mingling issues of two different threads. 
"Why is it ok to write against all other countries except Iran??? Why is it ok to write against Sunni groups and Governments but somehow it is "inflammatory" to say anything about Iran, even though I always provide clear evidence for everything I say."

Speaking against ANY country by spreading lies and rumour is not allowed; why to even utter such terms as Shia country, Sunni country etc.? You can speak against any injustice committed by any leadership while supporting it with reliable sources; one should, however, do so in the relevant threads. 
"Im not asking you to spend a lot of time responding, I asked for one straight answer and instead you went on talking about many different things without being specific."
I appreciate your gesture towards understanding my time. In fact, I felt necessary to make some clarifications because you had made some speculations without evidence. I also preferred to highlight few points . . . as you appeared to me unaware of them. 
"All I did was post 3 posts in one thread, that as far as I know is not spamming because the Guideline says it is spamming if you continuously post while you havent answered other peoples questions."
Please read rule # 12: "Spamming of any kind is not allowed. . . ." It is a discussion forum. If others don�t reply to you, it doesn�t mean that you keep posting the same or different messages repeatedly. Furthermore, if you keep targeting just one nation on a regular basis, that means, knowingly or unknowingly, you serve an agenda against that country especially when, seeing the prevailing climate, an opportune moment is being sought by the war-mongers to attack her. 
"Since I had answered every question and my posts were 100% appropriate and relevant, I was not spamming."
Why do you think that you cannot make even a single mistake there? Every human being can be fallible, at times, isn�t it? 
"So the thread "USA benefits Iran" is neither "inflammatory" nor "spamming". Until you re-open at least that thread, I would continue to seriously doubt your neutrality."
I am sorry that I don�t agree with this line of thinking, brother. I think that we should strive to prove our actions as just and fair to Allah in order to win His pleasure for ultimate success. 
"You also closed the "is Bush Jewish" thread. I respect your decision there because the thread was going way off topic (though I can show you more than a 100 other threads that have gone even more off topic and have not been closed for some reason...)"
I may agree with you on the presence of "100 other threads that have gone even more off topic." Have we closed all of them? No. Would we close all of them even if we go through them? Perhaps not. That would, in a sense, lock the entire forum. Generally speaking, many factors ( and not just one factor ) are taken into consideration so as to make a decision to ensure the highest level of proficiency in this regard; yes, sometimes just one flagrant violation, for example, a grave personal attack may prompt a thread�s closure. 

Last but not least, If you see that something is wrong somewhere, please report. Due to the large number of active threads at any time, it may not be possible for moderation to see each of them. Your active participation in this respect to report unwanted posts/threads would help the system, insha Allah. 
May Allah guide us all. 
Peace
