Tehran in Meltdown as Israel Decapitates Hamas and Hezbollah

-

  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.

Iran Flooding Crisis Seems Set to Spark Further Protests Across the Country

-
By Shahriar Kia
Just over a month ago, heavy rainfall resulted in severe flooding across Iran. It has caused major damage to infrastructure across the country and many people have lost their homes. Several weeks later, many people in Iran are still dealing with the effects of the flooding. Dozens of people have lost their lives and many Iranians are homeless.


The people of Iran, since the end of 2017, have been participating in anti-government demonstrations and protests. They have been calling for regime change because they are fed up with the mullahs that have been ruining their great country’s reputation for decades. They want the regime to stop spreading chaos across the region and they want it to be held accountable for its many crimes and abuses of human rights.
The current flooding crisis has just added to their anger and frustration. The regime has spectacularly failed to provide an adequate response to the crisis and it has left the people to fend for themselves. As well as mismanaging the situation after the fact, it has also failed to prepare for such disasters and over the decades has contributed to making any incidents worse than they should be. Destructive policies have seen the regime destroy natural flood barriers, rip down forests, over build in certain areas, redirect natural waterways, and so on.
The people of Iran have not kept silent about the current situation in spite of the regime’s best efforts to downplay the situation. Videos, images and posts have been shared on social media about the reality of the situation and the people are making their discontent and anger known.
Since the flooding began last month, President Hassan Rouhani has been keeping a low profile. He is scared of the public backlash so is taking the cowardly way out. But this is angering the people even more. Millions of people need humanitarian aid and there is substantial infrastructural damage across the country.
Last week, protests flared up in the Khuzestan province in the southwestern part of the country. Many Iranian Arabs live in the province and they instigated some of the most sustained protests throughout 2018. Security forces were sent to calm the situation and disperse the protesters who criticised the regime’s handling of the disaster. Many pointed out that the regime’s destructive policies have resulted in the region being submerged.
There is a potential for the small and mostly peaceful protests in the Khuzestan province to spread further across the country into a much larger movement. Once again, it is likely that there will be clashes between the people and the suppressive security forces as the people voice their grievances.
Regime change is what the people want and they will accept nothing less. And they deserve nothing less too because they have suffered under the mullahs for four decades now. Incidents like the current flooding crisis serve to reaffirm their position and add to their anger and disdain of the regime.

Countering Iran’s Threat, Strategies for Regional Stability

-

  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 ...

Iran nuclear deal must be fixed before it is too late

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 ...
