  By: Reza Hoseani Abstract Although the US election is ostensibly a domestic event in the United States, it directly affects the regional balance, the internal equations of the clerical regime, and ultimately the fate of the Iranian people’s uprising. This article examines these effects and shows that, contrary to the regime’s initial propaganda, the election result has created no opening for the immature Supreme Leader and his imposed successor, Mojtaba Khamenei. On the contrary, with the declining likelihood of a full-scale war and the reactivation of frozen social demands, it has created the ground for a major, organized, and inevitable uprising. The article concludes that Mojtaba Khamenei, unlike his father, has none of the historical, political, and military conditions needed to consolidate himself as Supreme Leader, and is trapped in a deadlock of “neither war nor peace.” In such a situation, an uprising, whether by force or by peace, is lying in wait for the regime and is i...

Top Iranian Khamenei adviser in Ghouta with Assad military official

-
Al Arabiya, 12 April 2018 - A video surfaced of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s top adviser for international affairs, Akbar Ali Velayati, in Syria’s Ghouta on Wednesday getting a report on the developments of the war-stricken area from an Assad military official.


Iranian media outlets reported that Velayati visited a military site in eastern Ghouta and spoke to military officers about the operations that took place there.
Iran’s Khabaronline news agency posted the video on their Twitter account showing the advisor in a military zone.
 According to the Iranian Tasnim news agency, the Syrian foreign minister, Walid al-Muallem, received Velayati on Wednesday morning and they discussed the political developments in the country. Velayat confirmed Iran’s support for the Assad regime during the discussion, the news agency reported.
Syrian news agency Sana also reported that al-Muallem and Velayati stressed on the importance of increased cooperation and consultation between the two countries to confront what they called “aggressive threats” by Israel and the US and their allies.
This comes amidst US talks of a possible military strike against the Assad regime targeting Iranian Revolutionary Guard bases.
“All options are on the table,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said when asked about a potential US riposte. “Final decisions have not been made on that front.”

When War Becomes an Excuse: How Economic Pressure Is Being Shifted Onto Ordinary People

  By Reza Hoseani Iran’s economic crisis is no longer just a headline — it has become part of everyday life. Skyrocketing prices, the continuous collapse of the national currency, and shrinking household purchasing power are now affecting nearly every segment of society. But an important question remains: Are these hardships truly the direct result of war and external pressure, or are they rooted in domestic economic policies and political decisions? While state media repeatedly blame regional tensions and foreign conflicts for inflation and market instability, many economists argue that the current crisis is driven far more by internal policymaking than by war itself.   War as a Cover for Internal Economic Failure For years, whenever Iran’s economy entered a deeper phase of crisis, official narratives pointed to external enemies and international tensions. However, economic experts say the immediate impact of war rarely causes inflation on this scale in such a sho...
