By Struan Stevenson Conflagration engulfs the Middle East, with the Israel-Hamas war having gone on for more than a year now, and many Israeli hostages are still being held in deplorable conditions by Hamas terrorists. In Northern Israel, constant missile and rocket attacks by Hezbollah led to the mass evacuation of more than 70,000 Israelis from their homes in 2024 and to the inevitable military retaliation by the Israel Defense Forces, as they crossed the border into Southern Lebanon. Israeli missiles are raining down on key Hezbollah targets in Beirut. The assassination of Hezbollah’s terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, a seismic event, shattered his close friend and ally Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader and Hezbollah’s main sponsor. Nasrallah’s successor, Hashem Saffieddine, was also killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut within hours of being nominated for the Hezbollah leadership role and before the funeral of his predecessor had even taken place.

For more information on the floods in Iran and its implications, I suggest you a glimpse into a good article from Shahriar Kia.
By Shahriar Kia
Reports from inside Iran indicate that flooding has occurred in almost all areas of Iran. So far, it seems that only one of Iran’s 31 provinces has been spared the effects of major flooding.
The number of casualties is high, with more than 120 dead in the city of Shiraz alone. Reports show that the conditions are horrific, with countless people suffering from a lack of clean water, no electricity and completely uninhabitable residential units.
In the southwestern part of the country, water levels are rising at an alarming speed. In the northwestern parts of the country there have been severe flash floods.
In Tehran, the country’s capital city, the water levels are rising and the weather organisation has warned that it will most likely be hit by flooding. Already it seems that the water levels are rising and the situation is getting worse by the hour.
Roadways across the whole of the country are being cut off by floodwater and villages are being further isolated. People are losing their homes, while others are losing their livelihoods. Some are losing both.
The most concerning part about this story is that the people are being left to their own devices and are not being supported by the authorities. The situation is at crisis level, yet there is no help to be found. People in the town of Khorramshahr in the southwestern part of the country have been seen trying to prevent floodwaters from invading their homes – but they are using the most basic of tools.
The people of Iran have been holding mass protests and anti-government demonstrations since the end of 2017. It is for reasons like the current flooding disaster that the people have been continually protesting. The regime’s widespread corruption and neglect of environmental issues has provoked problems like this flooding.
At the minute, while they are struggling to survive, the people have made their anger known. They are devastated and extremely angry because their government has let the country’s infrastructure fall into collapse. They are enraged that instead of trying to help the people, the notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is in the streets with other suppressive forces trying to prevent further unrest.
An IRGC General has claimed that security is of upmost importance at this time and has tried to justify the establishment of checkpoints. The authorities are also trying to downplay the seriousness of the situation and are underestimating, or hiding the reality, about the number of people that have died as a result of the flooding.
Authorities have claimed that 19 people have died but the real figure is much larger and is continually rising.
It is time, once and for all, for this despicable regime to collapse. The people of Iran are more disadvantaged than most countries in the world in situations like this because the regime cannot manage to prevent or control such incidents. The people should be given the resources that are needed but once again they are neglected and supressed.
Written by Mahmoud Hakamian Two-minute read On Sunday morning, April 14, the Iranian regime launched an unprecedented attack against Israel, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Despite military experts’ assessments that the attack failed, it underscores Iran’s role as a focal point of regional conflict. The October 7th attack sent shockwaves globally. Despite ample evidence implicating the Iranian regime, Western governments dismissed Tehran’s involvement, adhering to a flawed appeasement policy toward the primary state sponsor of terrorism. They disregarded explicit statements from Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) commanders boasting about their direct role in the attack. For decades, the Iranian Resistance has urged the international community to adopt a resolute stance against the Iranian regime’s aggression and terrorism. Despite persistent calls, the failed appeasement policy of the West allowed Tehran to escalate its belligerent activities, including ...
By DR. MAJID RAFIZADEH President Donald Trump will make a decision on whether the US will leave or stick with the Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, by May 12. It has been almost three years since the nuclear accord was reached between the Islamic Republic and the UN Security Council’s five permanent members — Russia, the UK, China, France, and the US — plus Germany (the P5+1). Since the JCPOA’s implementation day on Jan. 16, 2016, the Iranian regime has been receiving various benefits that can be divided into four categories. Based on the terms of the JCPOA, four rounds of the United Nations Security Council’s economic sanctions against Tehran were lifted immediately. The regime also received unilateral sanctions relief from individual countries in exchange for halting its nuclear activities and dismantling some sections of its nuclear program. For instanc...

At the first step, you should be the center of this cruelty and the godfather of crime and murder, terrorism and fundamentalism that nobody is part of Iran's terrorist government. The fact is that the killing and execution of political and conscientious prisoners in public or in prisons is secretly in its astronomical dimensions on the coin of killing innocent people abroad by this regime. The issuance of terrorism and the support of fundamentalist and terrorist groups in this regime is institutionalized and is part of the constitution. The crimes committed by perpetrators and groups affiliated with this corrupt and expansionist state in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq ...
